- Description
- Management literature prescribes innovation as a
stimulus for sustained competitive advantage in companies; however,
the nature of the development in this field has resulted in the
literature being broad and fragmented. This paper focuses on the
body of literature concerned with the factors which influence
innovation management in organisations. The aim of this research is
to present a holistic view of the factors that affect innovation
management. Using a systematic literature review approach, using
over 100 papers, this research identifies nine key factors that
impact on an organisation's ability to manage innovation. These
nine factors have been identified as management style and
leadership, resources, organisational structure, corporate
strategy, technology, knowledge management, employees and
innovation process. This paper then discusses the inductively
derived model that presents the important relationships identified
between the factors to present a holistic view of innovation
management. From this, we open up the debate on innovation
management as a systemic approach rather than being focused on the
singular factors. We can therefore conclude that a number of
dominant relationships exist between the factors with the
innovation process being the only endogenous factor within the
model.
