Abstract

Innovation is becoming an increasingly common concept seen as a necessity for survival and progress in today’s business world. For many organizations, innovation still seems unattainable, and the reason for this is often prejudice, old or bad organizational culture, and the mindset in all structures of the organization, from management to employees. The concept of innovation is often defined as something completely new, unprecedented and associated with the notion of an innovative product or service that a company offers to the market, but the concept has a broader meaning. Innovation has become particularly necessary due to rapid technological development, shortening of the product life-cycle, globalization of markets and greater competitiveness. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of recent research results published in peer-reviewed publications related to the development of innovation management in the IT sector from three aspects: mindset, process and outcome.
