Exploring Knowledge Flows and Losses in the ‘Open Innovation’ Age

  • Chapter
Determinants of Innovative Behaviour

Abstract

The management of innovation has a large and diverse body of literature. It recognizes that while there is much complexity and uncertainty in managing innovation and new-product development, much is known. There is considerable agreement on many of the factors that contribute to success and the activities and processes that need to be undertaken if innovation is to occur and a firm’s performance is to improve (Table 6.1 captures some of the key studies that have influenced our understanding from the past 50 years; see References, pp. 144–50).
