Zusammenfassung

„Innovationen sind im Zweifel nicht willkommen“ (Hauschildt & Salomo, 2010: 160). Dieser Satz seines Doktorvaters Jürgen Hauschildt hat die Forschung Hans Georg Gemündens von Anfang an geprägt. Damit Innovationen erfolgreich werden und Unternehmen Erfolg durch und mit Innovationen haben, braucht es visionäre Menschen, die Innovationen vorantreiben, gegen Widerstände verteidigen und in die Tat umsetzen. In Theorie und Praxis wird bei der Diskussion zur Förderung von Innovationen in Unternehmen zumeist ein besonderes Augenmerk auf das Thema Systeme, Strukturen und Prozesse gelegt. Beispiele sind Innovationsmanagementsysteme, Innovations- und Produktentwickungsprozesse (Hauschildt & Salomo, 2010). Diese formalen Strukturen sind jedoch nur notwendige aber nicht hinreichende Voraussetzung, durch die Bedingungen für erfolgreiche Innovationen geschaffen werden können.
