Abstract
This chapter aims at discussing an antecedent approach to innovation in management science. Innovation management is an inherently interdisciplinary field. It also of course addresses specific research interests. To what extent have the inherited commonplaces of innovation in social science influenced the construction of innovation management scholars’ self-related beliefs? How do they shape current leading approaches to innovation management? Our objective is to answer these questions by supposing that antecedents do mold, forge, and shape the very identity of the object of study. To follow this antecedent reasoning, we will first outline the historical and theoretical foundations of innovation management. We will then present the specificities of the managerial approach to innovation by focusing on its strategic and organizational dimensions.
