Abstract

This chapter summarises the state of the art on workplace innovation policy in Europe and discusses the similarities and dissimilarities across theoretical and practical approaches presented in this book. We aim to identify some points of convergence and mutual reinforcement within and across policy, theory, empirical, and practical approaches. To this end we will offer some pointers for the future of workplace innovation in the areas of policy, theory, research, and practice.

The mentioned Eurofound study assessed that there are a limited number of configurations (i.e. combinations of factors) that indeed lead to WPI, whereas the majority of other configurations do not (see Eurofound 2015; Howaldt et al. 2016 in Chap. 10). Hence, not anything goes!
