The Discipline of Innovation
Abstract
How much of innovation is inspiration, and how much is hard work? The answer lies somewhere in the middle, says management thinker Peter Drucker. In this HBR classic from 1985, he argues that innovation is real work that can and should be managed like any other corporate function. Success is more likely to result from the systematic pursuit of opportunities than from a flash of genius. Indeed, most innovative business ideas arise through the methodical analysis of seven areas of opportunity. Within a company or industry, opportunities can be found in unexpected occurrences, incongruities of various kinds, process needs, or changes in an industry or market. Outside a company, opportunities arise from demographic changes, changes in perception, or new knowledge. There is some overlap among the sources, and the potential for innovation may well lie in more than one area at a time. Innovations based on new knowledge tend to have the greatest effect on the marketplace, but it often takes decades before the ideas are translated into actual products, processes, or services. The other sources of innovation are easier and simpler to handle, yet they still require managers to look beyond established practices, Drucker explains. The author emphasizes that innovators need to look for simple, focused solutions to real problems. The greatest praise an innovation can receive is for people to say, "That's so obvious!" Grandiose ideas designed to revolutionize an industry rarely work. Innovation, like any other endeavor, takes talent, ingenuity, and knowledge. But Drucker cautions that if diligence, persistence, and commitment are lacking, companies are unlikely to succeed at the business of innovation.
... The theory of opportunity recognition, originating from Austrian economic doctrines and based on Schumpeter's (1934) theory, suggests that new business opportunities can arise from market changes, legislation, or technology, emphasising the importance of new information in recognising opportunities (Angelsberger, Morits, Sascha Kraus, Alicia Mas-Tur &Norat Roig-Tierno, 2017), while Kirzner (1973) argues that asymmetric information in the market allows for better identification of new opportunities . It is widely accepted that opportunities can be identified through two distinct approaches -a systematic search process or exploration (Drucker, 1998). ...
... The systematic search process is a valuable addition to Drucker's (1998) framework that involves identifying opportunities by actively seeking information from external sources and leveraging internal and external knowledge to enhance a firm's existing resources (Fiet, 2007). The concept of active international opportunity recognition, which posits that entrepreneurs undertake a proactive search for information to identify international opportunities, is driven by the decisions of international entrepreneurs, as highlighted by Chetty et al. (2018), Tuomisalo (2019), and Zaefarian et al. (2016). ...
This study examines the cumulative impact of firm size, firm age, business network participation, and international opportunity recognition on the internationalisation performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The study population consists of 160 SMEs in the Kayseri, Inegöl, and Istanbul Organized Furniture Industry area, specifically focusing on those involved in business networks. The data was collected through a survey methodology, and the research objective was assessed using a quantitative approach in SPSS 21. The study aims to examine the gradual impact of variables on internationalisation performance. The stepwise regression in the analysis underscores the crucial impact of firm size and various aspects of international opportunity recognition on internationalisation performance. Notably, the business network's structure positively influences performance, providing optimism for firms seeking to enhance their internationalisation efforts. However, the strength of the tie subdimension of the business network does not impact performance significantly. These findings offer valuable insights for firms aiming to improve their internationalisation efforts.
... In this context, innovation generation is considered a longterm strategy aimed at meeting future market demands (Pérez-Luño, Wiklund, and Cabrera 2011). Furthermore, innovation generation enables firms to seize new opportunities or utilize existing opportunities in novel ways, thus significantly contributing to a firms' effectiveness and competitiveness (Drucker 1984;Dost and Badir 2019). ...
... Some SMEs choose to collaborate with external entities, such as laboratories and incubation centers, to generate innovation (de Jesus Pacheco et al. 2018;Malik et al. 2022;Rodríguez-Espíndola et al. 2022). When CE principles are driven by innovation generation, these strategies tend to focus on long-term results, meet evolving market needs (Pérez-Luño, Wiklund, and Cabrera 2011), and enable firms to capitalize on new opportunities or leverage existing ones in novel ways, enhancing overall effectiveness and competitiveness (Drucker 1984;Dost and Badir 2019). Additionally, SMEs in emerging economies generate resource-constrained innovations to achieve the goal of cost-effective production through resource efficiency. ...
Small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) in emerging economies encounter various challenges when it comes to adopting circular economy (ce) principles due to their resource‐constrained contexts. Consequently, they often rely on innovation to facilitate the implementation of these principles. In this study, we explore the effect of source of innovation, generation or adoption, on the implementation of ce principles within SMEs in emerging economies. We also go one step further and examine the mechanism through which the source of innovation affects the implementation of ce principles. We argue that in resource‐constrained contexts, firm may use frugal innovation as a mediator in the relationship between the source of innovation and the implementation of ce principles. We collected 306 survey responses from SMEs in India and Pakistan and analyzed the data through PLS‐SEM using SMARTPLS4 software. The findings indicate that both innovation generation and innovation adoption have a positive effect on implementing ce principles, with innovation adoption showing the most significant effect. Additionally, we discovered that frugal innovation plays a partial mediator role in the relationship between innovation generation/innovation adoption and implementing ce principles. These results suggest that SMEs in emerging economies can leverage both innovation generation and adoption to advance the adoption of ce principles, fostering the development of frugal innovations in the process, which further drive the implementation of ce principles. Moreover, our findings contribute to the ongoing research debate regarding the relationship between frugal innovation and sustainability, highlighting the impact of frugal innovation on environmental sustainability.
... Considering the importance of innovation for organisational survival, any inefficiencies in managing the process must be addressed rapidly. According to Drucker [8], the actual status of the innovation management activities must be determined before innovation can be managed effectively. ...
... which is also true when evaluating innovation management [8]. Drucker [9] argues that, unless you measure something, you do not know if it is getting better or worse; you cannot see positive progress unless you measure to see what is improving and what is not. ...
An evaluation of the historical progression of technology innovation, showing that the management of the process had to adapt to specific societal changes.
... A inovação possui relevância ímpar no campo da estratégia e o interesse pelo tema faz com que a literatura tenha profundos avanços, uma vez que este tema é estudado há muito tempo por expoentes da administração como Schumpeter (1934) e Peter Drucker (1985) que estudaram sobre inovação e empreendedorismo. Observa-se que muitos estudiosos se dedicaram (e dedicam) a entender as capacidades que impulsionam a inovação nas empresas (Guan Ma, 2003;Teece, 2007). ...

... He explains that marketing efforts play an important role in the speed with which an innovation is adopted in the market and the reasons why product innovation leads to commercial success. Furthermore, Drucker (1984) explains that innovation is a systematic activity that must be the result of cross-functional collaboration within a company, emphasising the importance of collaboration between the research and development, marketing, and production functions. Although Prouvost (1990) and Sheth (1991) describe marketing as a source that stimulates creativity by understanding market changes and validating the new product project. ...
The uncertainty that characterises the development of new products has become one of the major concerns of management professionals and researchers. A new marketing approach focusing on the synergy between creativity, innovation, and marketing skills has underlined the importance of marketing efforts in the success of new products throughout the innovation process. In this article, we highlight the innovation process adopted by agri-food companies by examining the deployment of marketing activities in their innovation process. For this purpose, we adopted the „Stage-Gate System” (SGS) model developed by Cooper et al. (2016), a proven method for managing product development projects in the manufacturing sector. In addition, by mobilising dependency and influence matrices, we situate the place given to marketing in the new product development process while emphasising the importance of cross-functional collaboration. To carry out this research, we opted for a qualitative exploratory method at six companies, and we used a triangulation of analysis methods: content analysis, cognitive content analysis, and processual analysis. For the modelling of process mapping, we drew inspiration from the Stage-Gate System innovation process model. The stages of the innovation process and the theoretical links identified in the SGS model are confirmed by the findings of the empirical study, except that economic profitability and cost optimisation take precedence over the needs of target customers, which may restrict the success of the new product launch.
... Over the years, many studies have been carried out on innovation both in Islam and outside the religion. Some of these include Drucker (2002), Rogers (2003), Baregheh, et al. (2009), Edison, et al. (2014, Taylor (2017), Hughes et al. (2018), Jain (2021), etc. Precisely, these works have investigated the adaptation, social housing, Islamic creativity, software measurement, discipline in innovations; to mention but a few. However, previous researches have not paid much attention to the innovative avenues for students to explore in contemporary society and technology, particularly for the Muslims students. ...
Innovation is the practical process of moving an idea from concept to reality, and this idea can result in the introduction of new goods or services or improvement in offering goods or services. Scholars like Drucker (2002), Roger (2003) and Baregheh, et al (2009) have worked assiduously with different topics on innovation. The main intent of this work is to project some innovative works which Muslim students can do that can make them a better person in the society. This paper will explain to Muslim students on how to surmount the problem of scarcity by learning works, and by the time they finish the learning, they will be able to put it into practice, and by God's grace, it will yield them a profit. The paper will explain in detail on the reason why Muslim students should adventure on the innovative skills. It will explain and give clue on some areas in which Muslims students can explore their innovative skills in today’s society and technology. These areas of innovation could be in different fields like health, science and technology, creative arts etc. To make this work well understood, we went to collect data from different informants/innovators, and we interviewed them. We learned different ways of becoming a great innovator, and these ways shall be narrated in this paper. Theory of Innovation will be used to analyze our thoughts.
... TBFs face the challenge of managing the coexistence of tradition and innovation within their operations and strategies. While tradition is inherently characterized by its perennial and enduring nature, stemming from dynamic and temporal processes of intergenerational transmission of knowledge, skills, habits, practices, and values (De Massis et al. 2016;Magistretti et al. 2020), innovation is fundamentally oriented toward change (Drucker 1998;Schumpeter 1912). Such changes may vary in intensity, form, and timing, permeating different sectors, attributes, or activities within organizations (Sawhney et al. 2006). ...
This study aimed to assess the state of the art regarding companies facing challenges of balancing the maintenance of traditions and implementing innovations. The lack of integrative concepts for this type of firm justifies the research. A systematic literature review was conducted on Scopus and Web of Science databases, analyzing data through thematic analysis. Traditions, as expressions of cultural identity and historical heritage, serve as sources of authenticity and value creation, thereby contributing to the tourism and hospitality field by enriching customer and visitor experiences and destination competitiveness. This paper establishes “Tradition‐based Firm” as an integrative concept for businesses that preserve and valorize traditions. Furthermore, it formulates theoretical propositions that enhance understanding of these firms' contexts and their challenges in balancing tradition with innovation to achieve competitive advantage. Lastly, a research agenda is suggested. For practitioners, it offers insights to build tools and strategies optimizing tradition maintenance and innovation implementation.
... Innovators benefit from understanding what is working, from knowing about the situations where products and services are currently succeeding [17,30]. In many cases, this knowledge helps innovators find a lower risk place to begin product development. ...
Innovators transform the world by understanding where services are successfully meeting customers' needs and then using this knowledge to identify failsafe opportunities for innovation. Pre-trained models have changed the AI innovation landscape, making it faster and easier to create new AI products and services. Understanding where pre-trained models are successful is critical for supporting AI innovation. Unfortunately, the hype cycle surrounding pre-trained models makes it hard to know where AI can really be successful. To address this, we investigated pre-trained model applications developed by HCI researchers as a proxy for commercially successful applications. The research applications demonstrate technical capabilities, address real user needs, and avoid ethical challenges. Using an artifact analysis approach, we categorized capabilities, opportunity domains, data types, and emerging interaction design patterns, uncovering some of the opportunity space for innovation with pre-trained models.

... Similarly, management scholars focused on internal capabilities and processes driving entrepreneurial outcomes in organizations (Burgelman, 1984) and innovation, change, and bringing new combinations of resources to market. The famed management consultant, educator, and author Drucker described it as the "effort to create purposeful, focused change in an enterprise's economic or social potential" (Drucker, 2002). Others still have framed it as a process of opportunity recognition in which the entrepreneur must spot asymmetries or "inefficiencies" to capitalize on (Shane & Venkataraman, 2000) or as a process of "enacting" and "doing." ...
As generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) emerges as the latest technological gold rush, this preliminary study examines how entrepreneurs made sense of this transformative moment in the early months of ChatGPT. Through semi‐structured interviews with entrepreneurs adopting GenAI, observations of AI creators in Silicon Valley, and computational analysis of our qualitative data, as well as Twitter discourse, we reveal a complex reality beneath the media hype. While Twitter discourse initially showed entrepreneurs aligning with techno‐optimistic expectations of their imagined audience, our ethnographic data exposed deeper tensions around job displacement, bias, privacy, alignment, and the more significant ethical and societal implications. The contrast between publicly oriented Twitter data and self‐reflective ethnographic data exemplifies the complex ways that entrepreneurs wrestle with their identity as innovators—a tension between public displays of optimism and internal grappling with uncertainty around AI. Drawing on Madsen et al.’s concept of productive friction, we employ this framework in two complementary ways: as an analytical lens for understanding entrepreneurs’ cognitive dissonance and as a methodological principle that deliberately generates tensions through the use of traditional and computational approaches. We argue that these contradictions serve as constructive catalysts for more thoughtful innovation and adoption of Gen AI by forcing critical examination of assumptions and practices. Our mixed‐methods approach, therefore, demonstrates a way to capture, analyze, and understand emerging productive frictions surrounding implications for entrepreneurship while contributing to emerging techno‐anthropological discourse and approaches for studying technological transformation.
... Learning organization is defined by [43] as 'continuous improvement' to cope with change, [44] emphasizes that is not limited to training since it is about ''organizational self-development''. Learning organizations continuously leads the process of acquisition, processing, and diffusion of knowledge [36], and involves transforming data into knowledge and having a learning culture [45]. ...
Innovation is the engine of the development of organizations, it becomes a necessity in a world characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (i.e VUCA World). Innovation covers products, services, and managerial practices by bringing novelty into the traditional management model making organization more resilient and agile. There are many studies related to managerial innovations however there is no devoted research to their intrinsic features, making thus their comprehension and adoption difficult. Also, to our knowledge there is no dedicated research investigating how the learning organization embodies a form of managerial innovation. Through a qualitative methodology centered on the content analysis of existing literature, our research aims to fill this gap by studying the main characteristics of managerial innovation, pointing out concrete managerial innovation practices, and examining the learning organization as an exemplary case of study. Our findings reveal the intangible, dynamic, and complex characteristics of managerial innovation, the impact of internal and external factors on the innovativeness of organizations and the significant overlap between the attributes of innovation and the learning organization ones. This research has both theoretical and practical implications, it provides an integrative theoretical framework of innovation and learning organization and serves as a foundation and practical tool for managers to adopt new practices by considering learning organization within the scope of managerial innovation. The study proposes a framework based on theoretical lens related to the learning organization and the diffusion of innovation, future research could develop a comprehensive empirical validation of the framework across diverse contexts.
... Thompson inovasyonu yeni fikir, süreç, ürün ve hizmetlerin üretilmesi ve uygulanması şeklinde ifade etmiştir (Thompson, 1965). Önemli yönetim uzmanlarından Peter Drucker ise inovasyonu girişimciliğin bir işlevi olarak tanımlamış ve girişimcilerin zenginlik yaratacak yeni kaynaklar üretmesi veya mevcut kaynakların zenginlik yaratma potansiyellerinin arttırılması olarak tanımlamıştır (Drucker, 2002). ...

... Collaborative R&D allows firms to access knowledge beyond their boundaries (Laursen & Salter, 2006). To accelerate the utilization of new knowledge, firms often combine new with existing technical knowledge elements, strengthening their competitive advantage (Antonelli & Colombelli, 2015;Drucker, 1998). Experience in combining existing technical knowledge facilitates the integration of new and existing knowledge (Chen et al., 2021). ...
A firm’s inventory of inventions plays a critical role in driving new product development (NPD). This study examines how the combination of knowledge in inventive activities influences NPD. Drawing on theories of the knowledge base, complex network and knowledge exchange, we examine the impact of knowledge network heterogeneity on NPD, while also investigating the mediating role of R&D collaboration and the moderating effect of academic knowledge spillovers. To empirically test the proposed hypotheses, we collected a panel sample of 622 firms from 2001 to 2016. The results show a U-shaped relationship between knowledge network heterogeneity and NPD, with R&D collaboration mediating this relationship. Furthermore, regional academic knowledge spillovers related to university-industry collaboration (UIC) amplify the U-shaped effect. These findings contribute to the NPD, knowledge base and knowledge exchange literature, providing strategic recommendations for manufacturing firms to effectively leverage knowledge combinations and highlight the significance of integrating R&D collaboration and academic spillovers to promote NPD.
... Thus, successful knowledge management can be the chief determinant for the survival of an enterprise in a knowledge-based economy (Liao et al., 2008). Drucker (1985) considers knowledge as the only source of an enterprise's competitive advantage. Hence, to meet current challenges, enterprises should seek ways to strengthen the research and development of knowledge, to manage it efficiently and to utilize it effectively. ...
Both as power and as a resource knowledge is strategically important for individuals and enterprises. The third industrial revolution is based on knowledge which changes the way an individual, an enterprise or even a nation can create wealth and prosperity. All together we can say that knowledge is so important to each organization. So, knowledge is considered as an effective resource for organizations and individuals to survive. However, individuals usually make use of their experience and prior knowledge when they encounter problems and solve similar problems. These managerial predictive behaviours may endanger an organization which is in a competitive environment and this common routine problemsolving strategy is called “Knowledge Inertia”. The aim of this research is to see the effect of knowledge inertia on the relationship between knowledge sharing capabilities and organizational strategic learning capabilities. This research was designed as quantitative study. The sample size is 150 teachers in ZEO Valikamam in Jaffna District. Sample is collected through convenience sampling method. The collected data analysis using the SPSS version 20.0 software. According to the results obtained through the data analysis, the knowledge inertia has negative relationship between knowledge sharing capabilities and organizational strategic learning capabilities. As well as the knowledge sharing capabilities and organizational strategic learning capabilities have positive relationship. On other hand it can be found that Knowledge inertia plays a role as a mediator between knowledge sharing capabilities and organizational strategic learning capabilities.

What causes sustainable innovation has been the subject of recent academic and policy debate. This study examines whether the relationship between firm characteristics and sustainable innovation differs in European and non‐European countries with different institutional contexts. Drawing on institutional theory and leveraging data from the 2020 Eurobarometer survey involving 15,000 interviews in 36 European and non‐European countries, multilevel econometric analysis of firms in these countries reveals a robust connection between sustainable innovation and firm‐specific factors and institutional quality. We combine the firm‐level data from Eurobarometer 2020 with multiple sources of country‐level data to measure the impact of institutional quality on ‐sustainable innovation. Using a multilevel logistic regression model the findings indicate that small and medium‐sized enterprises tend to develop more sustainable innovations, and countries with superior institutional quality and institutional trust foster an environment conducive to sustainable innovation. The paper concludes with implications for theory and policy, suggesting how governments can influence the growth and development of sustainable innovation.
... The quests to be innovative require strong ability and possession of more knowledge and intellect to drive the firm's innovation amid ambiguity and uncertainty.

The development of nation's economy is critical to its ability of developing strategies that exploit opportunities and managerial philosophies uniqueness in decision making, the growing diversity and enthusiasm of interest among businessmen and academics, particularly in the transforming procedures with an entrepreneurial orientation has become great concern. The study investigates how changing entrepreneurial oriented practices utilizing a cross sectional survey affected the performance amongst the four selected top grocery registered SMEs (Jendol superstore, Just-rite superstore, Addide stores, and KD Foods) operating in Ikorodu, division of Lagos State, Nigeria. Questionnaire was administered as a source of data collection to 100 respondents among staff of not less than three (3) years of employment engagement as the sample size, proportionally selected from the study focus. Pearson correlation statistical tool was adopted for data analysis. The study reveals that, innovativeness and risk-taking of business have a highly significant impact on SMEs performance; with pro-activeness having a weak, but positive relevance on SMEs performance. In conclusion, to improve and optimize entrepreneurial orientation change practices and adapt to future threatening changes, firm's need to strengthened desire of healthy competitions, identifying and targeting weakness of competitors. It is recommended that, more innovativeness be sought after as guiding principles for capability and adaptability to handle the complexity of the ever-changing business surrounding, while involvement in risk-taking need be adopted with inevitable zeal and willingness to attain organizational growth and improved performance. Pro-activeness should be given adequate consideration to maintain and surpass existing performance as opportunities come but once. Despite study limitations, future researchers may need to enlarge sample size and create intense awareness on SMEs generally.

Abstract The aim of this study is to examine the non-role constructive workplace behaviors of employees who have a perception of overqualification and the mediating effect of entrepreneurial orientation on these behaviors. The research data were obtained from 525 white-collar employees of Turkey's top 500 industrial enterprises using the survey technique. Since the related companies are relatively more advanced in the business areas in which they operate, ISO top 500 companies were chosen as the sample group. The data obtained in the research were analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 25.0 and AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structures) 23.0 program. In the study, when the effect of overqualification perception on none-role constructive workplace behaviors was examined, it was seen that the relationship between variables had a statistically significant and positive effect, but the entrepreneurial orientation did not have a mediating effect on the overqualification perception of employees exhibiting none-role constructive workplace behavior. In line with these findings, the theoretical and practical effects of the research were discussed and suggestions were made for future studies.
... Bir firma ne kadar yenilikçi olursa, dış çevredeki olumsuz dalgalanmalara karşı koyacak yeni stratejilerin geliştirilmesi ve başarıyla uygulanması da o kadar mümkün olur(Chatzoglou ve Chatzoudes, 2017). Yerleşik teorik çalışmalara göre(Drucker, 2002; Miles ve Snow, 1978), yenilikçi firmalar daha esnektir ve değişikliklere uyum sağlama konusunda daha büyük bir kapasiteye sahiptir. Bu özellikler, değişikliklere hızlı bir şekilde yanıt verebildikleri, yeni fırsatları tespit edebildikleri ve mevcut fırsatları anlık rekabete göre daha fazla kullanabildikleri için istikrarsızlık dönemlerinde onları korur. ...
Dinamik yetenek, kaynak temelli yaklaşımın (RBV) dinamik piyasa koşullarına genişletilmesinin bir ürünüdür ve firmanın hızla değişen koşullara uyum sağlaması için kaynakları yeniden yapılandırma becerisini ifade eder. Kaynak temelli bakış açısının dinamik ve hızla değişen piyasa koşullarına cevap vermede yetersiz kaldığını düşünen araştırmacılar dinamik yetenek kavramını önermiştir. Firmanın teknik ve yapısal olan mevcut temel yeteneklerinin, çevresel ve teknolojik değişimin bir sonucu olarak dinamizm kazanması, dinamik yetenekler olarak nitelendirilir. Dinamik yeteneklerin, firmanın değer yaratmak için hızlı hareket ederek kaynaklarını yeniden yapılandırma yeteneğini ifade ettiği düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışma, rekabet avantajı ve firma performansı boyutlarını bir araya getirirken dinamik yetenek ve değer yaratma konusundaki sınırlı araştırma literatürünü genişletmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, değer yaratma sürecinde dinamik yeteneğin rolünün kapsamlı bir analizini sağlamaktır. Özellikle rekabet avantajı ve firma performansı üzerindeki etkilerine odaklanmakta ve değer yaratmanın aracılık rolünü anlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Dinamik yeteneklerin algılanma, yakalama ve dönüştürme boyutlarının vurgulandığı çalışma, bu alt boyutların değer yaratma sürecinde fonksiyonel, deneyimsel, sembolik ve maliyet değer türleri üzerindeki etkisinin ölçülmesine odaklanmaktadır. Araştırmanın evreni Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren firmalardan ve araştırmanın örneklemi İstanbul’da faaliyet gösteren firmalardan oluşmaktadır. Araştırmanın uygulamasında kullanılmak üzere 379 firmadan 786 ankete ulaşılmıştır. Regresyon modeli kurularak model SPSS PROCESS MACRO programı ile test edilmiştir. Bulgular, dinamik yeteneğin değer yaratma süreci üzerindeki pozitif ve anlamlı etkisini ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca çalışma, firmanın müşterilerine değer yaratmak için dinamik yeteneklerinden faydalanmasının, rekabet avantajı ile firma performansı arasındaki ilişkide aracı bir rol oynadığı sonucuna varmıştır. Bu sonuçlar, firmaların sürdürülebilir rekabet avantajını ve performansını şekillendirmede dinamik yeteneğin ve değer yaratmanın önemli rolünü vurgulamaktadır.

... İşletmelerin meydana getirdikleri yeniliklerin örgütsel ve toplumsal boyutta oluşturdukları etkiler ile de sürdürülebilirlik sağlanabilmektedir. En temelde bu yenilikler bireylerin yaşam kalitesini ve refah arttırma üzerinde etkili olan ürün ya da hizmetleri içermektedir (Roberts, 1988;Drucker, 2002). Ekonomik ve sosyal sürdürülebilirlik üzerinde etkili ve faydalı olma özelliği, sorun çözme odaklı olması, çevre ile bütünleşik yaklaşımlarda bulunması inovasyonun sürdürülebilirlik açısından önemli etkilerinin olabileceğini göstermektedir. ...
Günümüz dünyasında işletmelerin kar elde etmenin yanında çevrelerinde
ya da toplumda gelişen olaylara da duyarlı olmaları beklenmektedir.
Sürdürülebilirlik anlayışı kapsamında ele alınan bu ek sorumlu davranışlar
sayesinde dünyamızın gelecek nesiller içinde yaşanabilir bir yer kılınması
açısından önem arz etmektedir. Özellikle insanlığın yaşamını tehdit eden
küresel ısınma ve buna bağlı olarak gelişen iklim değişiklikleri doğa
üzerinde ciddi etkisi olan işletmelerinde aktif olarak sorumluluk almasını
gerektirmektedir. Ek olarak günümüz toplumlarının temel yapı taşlarından
biri olan işletmelerin bulundukları toplumlardaki sosyal ve ekonomik
gelişmelere duyarsız kalmaması istenmektedir. Bu açıdan bakıldığında
sürdürülebilir işletmeler, arsa seçimi, bina inşası, üretim ve pazarlama gibi
işletme fonksiyonlarının işleyişi ve atık yönetimi gibi konularda çevresel,
sosyal ve ekonomik sürdürülebilirliğin devam ettirilmesini de gözeten
kararlar almalıdırlar. İşletmelerde Sürdürülebilirlik anlayışının oluşmasında
liderlik, örgüt kültürü, etik kodların ve sürdürülebilir değer yaratmaya
yönelik bir vizyonun benimsenmiş olmasının önemi büyüktür. Mevcut
çalışma da işletmelerde sürdürülebilirlik kavramını derinlemesine inceleyerek
işletmelerin neden sürdürülebilir bir anlayış geliştirmeleri gerektiği ve bu
yolda neler yapılması gerektiği sorularına cevaplar üretmeyi amaçlamaktadır
... International literature on innovation and innovativeness research is mainly based on studying large enterprises and high-tech companies (Raghuvanshi et al., 2019;Verhees & Meulenberg, 2004). Only a limited number of studies focus on the investigation of innovation and innovativeness among small businesses (Drucker, 2002;Ettlie & Rosenthal, 2011;Hyvärinen, 1990;Jaworski et al., 2000;Slater & Narver, 1998). Analyses and surveys conducted by the EU do not involve micro-sized enterprises, that is, businesses under ten employees. ...
Literature studies focusing on entrepreneurial orientation or openness to innovation mainly focus on large enterprises and multinational companies. Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) are under-researched in Europe, however, their contribution to employment, balance of trade, and GDP is broadly acknowledged among scholars. Experiences gathered through a qualitative study conducted with owner managers of enterprises of all size categories preceded as well as helped to better establish and design our quantitative survey as recommended in various studies in international literature. This paper aims to examine the disparities in entrepreneurial orientation and openness to innovation between three separate regions in Hungary. Analyses were based on discovering statistically significant differences in terms of the region and the size category of companies. The study applied principal component analyses, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney nonparametric tests.
... Successful entrepreneurs provide new solutions for issues in the marketplace. Entrepreneurs are open to new experiences and use their available resources in novel ways to develop new solutions (Drucker, 2002;Karami et al., 2024;Shane, 2003). Creativity becomes especially important in entrepreneurship due to uncertainty in the market, where sometimes, even customers do not know exactly what they want. ...
We propose that entrepreneurial alertness plays a critical role in translating creativity into positive entrepreneurial outcomes. We conducted a multilevel meta-analysis, and our findings suggest that entrepreneurial alertness channels creativity toward more promising opportunities, innovation, and firm performance. By integrating Schumpeterian and Kirznerian views on entrepreneurship, we provide a pragmatic view that accounts for creativity and alertness. We also provide practical implications for entrepreneurs.
... We present some of the commonly accepted innovation misconceptions, along with reasons why these are misconceptions and not facts. 19 • Innovation is planned and predictable. This statement is based on the old concept that innovation should be left to the research and development (R&D) department under a planned format. ...
... Of the previously mentioned criteria, creativity is the one that is most closely related to the sources "that were not explicitly designed to support the measurement of innovation" as per the Oslo Manual. Such criteria can be thought of as being the sources for company innovation: unforeseen events, disparities, operational requirements, and shifts in industry and market dynamics (Drucker, 2002). Innovation, even though desired, exists at the intersection of interests manifested by both the business environment and legal authorities (regional or national authorities) (Sehleanu et al, 2021). ...
The current business environment is characterized by high competition between companies as well as global challenges and growing technological progress. Businesses must constantly adapt to changes in the business environment, changes in the market environment and the constantly changing requirements of customers. The purpose of this article is to point out the major gaps across eight former communist East-European countries in what regards the innovation: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. In order to compare the trends in hat regards innovation in Eastern European countries we have first collected data for four innovation indicators for each East European country, separately for each field of activity. We have computed variation coefficients that revealed the fields of activity with the highest and/or lowest gaps across selected countries. Our conclusion is that Eastern Europe is increasingly becoming a hotspot for innovation, with countries in the region making significant progress in various aspects of innovation-driven development. By leveraging their strengths, addressing challenges, and capitalizing on opportunities, Eastern European countries can further enhance their innovation performance, competitiveness, and sustainable growth in the global innovation landscape.

Digitization in tourism represents a big challenge. Worldwide initiatives are directed towards its application in the service of the industry. Already at the present time, their portfolio is quite broad and gives opportunities for the use of these innovations. The aim of the empirical study was to find out, analytically evaluate and describe the perception of the attractiveness of selected digital tools in hotel rooms and the interest in them. Through questionnaire research as a tool of quantitative research, it approximates the results on a sample of Slovak respondents, who participate in tourism and use the accommodation services regularly. The results point to the fact that digital tools harmonize the offer, but do not represent a highly attractive element without which the tourists could not imagine their stay in accommodation establishments.

Successful entrepreneurs are open to new experiences, arrange resources in novel ways, and generate valuable solutions and present them as new products, services, and processes that appeal to some segments of the market (S. ...
Contributing to ongoing conversations about the central role of
creativity in entrepreneurship, we propose that creativity leads to
positive entrepreneurial outcomes through a crucial mediating
mechanism: entrepreneurial alertness. We conducted a multilevel
meta-analysis of 92 published studies with 209 effect sizes
extracted and a cumulative sample size of 927,615 participants.
Our findings suggest that alertness fine-tunes creativity and channels it toward more promising opportunities, innovation, and firm performance. Integrating Schumpeterian and Kirznerian perspectives, this study provides a pragmatist view of entrepreneurship and paves the way for further theorizing the association between creativity and alertness in explaining entrepreneurial outcomes.

Purpose: The idea of the paper came from the observation that small wholesaler managed by Portuguese – Eurocash has been able to capture most of the segment of “mom-and-pop” and middle-sized Polish stores. Its sales have been growing when at the same time the global company MAKRO Cash & Carry, which as a first mover was very successful, is losing the market. So, the attempt has been made to analyze Eurocash success in the framework of existing theories of developing competitive advantage on international markets. Design/methodology/approach: The concepts of dynamic capabilities and entrepreneurship theory are shortly described due to the fact that they were found out as the most appropriate to discuss the issue of gaining competitive advantage on Polish wholesale market. The longitudinal case study, in which international strategies of MAKRO Cash & Carry and Eurocash are compared, is presented Findings: Dynamic capabilities are path dependent so when the company wants to sustain advantage on the foreign market characterized by a different structure than is prevailing in its other international markets it could face problems. Such a market is the chance for the entrepreneur which sees the market opportunities and could size them. Originality/value: Paper contributes to the theory of international entrepreneurship showing that that entrepreneurs could be successful on foreign emerging markets using knowledge learned when their domestics markets were exposed to similar changes. It shows how wholesalers and small shops could successfully compete on FMCG market in contemporary economy, characterized by the growing role of networks. Keywords: retailing, wholesaling, dynamic capabilities, international entrepreneurship, Poland. Category of the paper: Conceptual paper.
This chapter attempts a soft landing into the realm of R&D and innovation, exploring their fundamental roles in driving the development of new products, services, and breakthrough technologies. It introduces key concepts and frameworks, including the R&D uncertainty cone, technology readiness levels (TRLs), the funnel model, open innovation, and methodologies like stage-gate, lean, and agile. The chapter also contrasts academia’s open-ended research process with the structured, risk-driven R&D funnels in industry, highlighting the distinct challenges and goals of each. Through practical insights and examples, the chapter addresses how organizations bridge the “valley of death,” ensuring promising technologies transition from research to commercialization. Concluding with a practical skeleton for managing R&D functions, it underscores the importance of optimizing R&D practices to maximize returns on investment, given the significant global expenditure on innovation, currently at 2.2% of GDP.
Using Chinese prefecture-level city panel data from 2003 to 2022, this paper examines the impact of sci-tech finance policies on urban entrepreneurial activity. Results show that these policies significantly enhance entrepreneurial activity. Mechanism tests show that these policies positively influence entrepreneurial activity through three channels: innovation ability, entrepreneurial support and entrepreneurial environment. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the entrepreneurial driving effects of these policies vary due to differences in policy environment, regional features and industries.
Bu çalışma, inovasyonun vakıf üniversitesi kütüphane hizmetleri üzerindeki rolünü ve etkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada, Türkiye ve yurtdışından ikişer vakıf üniversitesi kütüphanesinin hizmetlerine ilişkin veriler, görüşme yöntemiyle elde edilmiş ve betimsel içerik analizi ile incelenmiştir.Bulgular, dünya örneklerindeki kütüphane hizmetleri çeşitliliğinin Türkiye örneklerine göre daha fazla olduğunu göstermektedir.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact and role of innovation on the library services of foundation universities. Data regarding the services of two foundation uni-versity libraries from Turkey and abroad were obtained through interview method and analyzed using descriptive content analysis.The findings from the study indicate that the diversity of services in international exam-ples is greater compared to those in Turkey. While both librarians and users demonstrate a good level of interest and knowledge in innovation, world libraries allocate budgets for innovative service production and expect their librarians to engage in this direction. World libraries conduct periodic training on innovative thinking and production. All libraries follow the services of other libraries and the majority of innovative services consist of technological services. Additionally, it was found that libraries also serve as therapy and relaxation centers.As a result of the study, libraries possess a wide range of innovative services alongside basic services. The concept of innovation is better understood and implemented among librarians. Although there are similarities between Turkey and world examples, there are also differences in favor of world libraries. This research stands out from other studies in the literature due to its scope and national-international comparative approach.
Technological turbulence in the business environment result in challenges that cannot be ignored, requiring effective strategic management. This necessitates the presence of talented human forces with high strategic performance that have the ability to develop and implement proactive strategies and balance competitive forces. The study aims to examine The Impact of Talent Management, Innovation, and Digital Transformation on Strategic Performance: A moderated Mediation Analysis at Information Technology Companies in King Hussein Business Park. The study collected data from 200 managers in top and middle management in Information Technology Companies through a prorated physical random sample, This paper utilized software (SPSS and Amos) to test hypotheses, according to the finding, the study found that talent management has a significant positive impact on strategic performance (β = 0.779, t = 7.466, p ≤ 0.000) and with explanatory capacity (R2 = 0.607), which means that 60.7% of the variance in talent management has been explained by strategic performance. Moreover, innovation partly mediates the relationship between talent management and strategic performance. In addition to the total normative impact of talent management in strategic performance with the presence of innovation (86.3%), this indicates that there is a partial impact of innovation on the impact of talent management in strategic performance. In addition, digital transformation was modifying the relationship between talent management and strategic performance. This paper contributes to the existing collection of knowledge and literature on the impact of talent management, innovation and digital transformation on the strategic performance advantage of IT companies at King Hussein Business. Organizations can integrate innovation and digital transformation into their operations to improve strategic performance and achieve sustainable competitive advantage.
This paper, based on research undertaken during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, evaluates Guinea’s leadership infrastructure from independence in 1958 until the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. It determines that Guinea’s leadership can be characterized by a coercive social contract. The paper uses leadership theory to determine the underlying issue to Guinea’s continuous stagnant development. It highlights that leadership emergence is deficient due to the inability of persons and institutions to respond to the true causes of Guinean’s malaise, thus demonstrating an inability to build mutuality between the population and national leaders. The failure, then, to build true mutuality with the population and advance common goals led to a perpetuation of the coercive social contract, which historically has proven unsustainable and has resulted in the swift and violent departures of successive regimes. The paper specifically focused on leadership in response to crisis, during the 2013 Ebola and 2019 Covid-19 pandemic to demonstrate that whilst crisis response did take place, leadership was lacking and thus a continued cycle of re-enforcement of the status quo at the detriment of the needs of the population was maintained.
Enhancing the functionality of a nation’s economy in the current globalization era requires a dynamic and adaptable entrepreneurial orientation attitude and mindset that can spur innovative ideas, business spirit, and ensure sustain operations in a volatile environment. In this study, seven distinct business sectors - agriculture, construction, schools, real estate, manufacturing, finance and health, in Lagos State, Nigeria, were surveyed cross- sectional to examine entrepreneurial orientation and the development of selected family-owned SMEs: way forward to JAPA syndrome. Two parts of the questionnaire -biographical information and research questions are used to collect data. On the other hand, 217 respondents made up the sample size proportionately, with 31 participants chosen from each study focus. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson correlation statistical tool. According to the study, pro-activeness has a weak but positive correlation with SMEs development. In contrast, the development of family-owned businesses is greatly impacted by innovativeness and autonomy. To end the JAPA syndrome and translate it into economic strengths and opportunities, the government should intensify and vigorously encourage entrepreneurial orientation practices by providing good infrastructure amenities that can increase the development of SMEs and addressing emerging obstacles such as low productivity, unemployment, and insecurity caused by idleness, which stem from the threatening volatile environment. It is recommended that, Proactive measures be used to advance the development and survival of SMEs, and innovation should be pursued as a guiding principle for capacity and adaptability to manage the complexity of the environment. Additionally, business autonomy is considered a necessary component of success, and dynamic orientation should be incorporated to achieve organizational growth and development.

The study highlights the importance of developing applied tools to assess the economic impact of the development of corporate entrepreneurship within established business organisations. It was found that preliminary studies focus on the positive impact of the application of the entrepreneurial management style on the performance of business organisations, but there is a lack of specific proposals for assessing the impact of the implementation of employees' internal business initiatives on organisational performance. The financial model for assessing the economic impact of the implementation of innovative solutions, ideas and projects proposed by employees and the creation of new business units based on them has been substantiated. The results of the authors' calculations are presented, which confirm the practical possibility of applying the proposed model and demonstrate the positive impact of the development of corporate entrepreneurship and the creation of new business units on the value of the business organisation as a whole.
Bireyler ve toplumlar, pek çok değişim ve dönüşümle karşı karşıya kalmaktadırlar. 2011 yılında Endüstri 4.0 ile başlayan teknolojik değişim ve dönüşümün sonuncusu 2016 yılında Japonların ortaya attığı Toplum 5.0 kavramıdır. Temelinde teknolojik değişimlerin ve dönüşümlerin insanların yararına kullanılması vardır. Dijital dönüşüm ise daha çok üretim eksenli olup tüm iş süreçlerini, teknolojiyi ve insanı etkileyen bir kavramdır. Diğer yandan teknolojik gelişmeler yaşandıkça kültürel bazı değişikliklerin de beraberinde yaşanması kaçınılmazdır. Örgüt kültürü bağlamında düşünüldüğünde hem dijital dönüşümün hem de Toplum 5.0 anlayışının yerleşmesi için örgüt kültürünün değişmesi gerekmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, Toplum 5.0 yapılanmasında dijital dönüşüm ve örgüt kültürü arasındaki etkileşimin incelenmesidir. Bu araştırmada yöntem olarak karma yöntemlerden açıklayıcı- sıralayıcı desen kullanılmıştır. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın örneklemini amaçlı örnekleme uygun olarak orta ve büyük işletme sahip ve üst düzey yöneticileri, akademisyenler ve kamu çalışanları oluşturmaktadır. Bu çerçevede 415 kişiye ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmanın nicel analiz kısmında frekans, açıklayıcı faktör, doğrulayıcı faktör, korelasyon, Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli ve ANOVA analizleri kullanılmıştır. Nitel analiz kısmında ise içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılarak 46 kişiyle yarı yapılandırılmış sorular sorularak görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu kapsamda kod ilişkileri analizi uygulanmıştır. Tüm veriler, SPSS 25, AMOS 24 ve MAXQDA 20 programları kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda, nicel analiz kısmında dijital dönüşüm ve örgüt kültürü boyutlarının birbirlerini etkilediği, alt boyutlar olarak tüm boyutların yine birbirileri üzerinde bir etki oluşturduğu, ANOVA sonuçlarında gruplar arasında sadece dijital yetenekler alt boyutunda anlamlı bir farklılık olmadığı görülmüştür. Nitel analiz kısmında ise Toplum 5.0 ve alt boyutlarının hem dijital dönüşüm hem de örgüt kültürü ve alt boyutlarını etkilediği, Toplum 5.0 anlayışının yerleşmesi için dijital dönüşümün gerçekleşmesi ve örgüt kültürünün değişmesi gerektiği ortaya çıkmıştır.
Succession is a major threat to the sustainable growth of family businesses. This study proposes that the growth of a family business is a co-evolutionary process involving multiple memes, and a family business undergoes succession through memes. To address this exploratory question, the author analyzes entrepreneurial behavior in five well-known century-old Western family enterprises based on grounded theory, and constructs a deoxyribonucleic acid model of the family business. The model not only reveals the most prominent memes in the complex meme system of a family business, but also illustrates the connectivity of different strengths among the organizational memes. The implications and recommendations derived from this study indicate that family businesses should develop specialization and succession capabilities through memes, and explore different means of innovation and adaptation to realize cross-generational growth.
The study was about Opportunity Recognition, Design Thinking, Financing Decisions and Entrepreneurial Success of SMEs. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between opportunity recognition, design thinking, financing decisions, and entrepreneurial success of SMEs. The objectives of the study were to: assess the relationship between opportunity recognition and entrepreneurial success of SMEs, examine the relationship between opportunity recognition, financing decisions and entrepreneurial success of SMEs, examine the relationship between design thinking, financing decisions and entrepreneurial success of SMEs, assess the relationship between design thinking and entrepreneurial success of SMEs, study the factor structure of opportunity recognition, design thinking, financing decisions and entrepreneurial success of SMEs.
The research design was a descriptive and cross sectional design. The study population was 510 registered SMEs and a sample size of 217 respondents was used. Quantitative data collected was analysed using SPSS version 23.0. Qualitative data collected was analysed using NVivo software. Pearson correlation coefficient matrix was used to test the relationship between study variables, while regression analysis was used to test the nature of effect between study variables.
Pearson correlation coefficient matrix results in table 4.6 showed a positive significant relationship between Opportunity Recognition and Entrepreneurial Success (r = 0.756, Probability/P-value < 0.01), a positive significant relationship between Opportunity Recognition and Financing Decisions (r = .733, P-value <0.01) and between Financing Decisions and Entrepreneurial Success (r = .684, P-value < 0.01), a positive significant relationship between Design Thinking and Financing Decisions (r = .703, P-value < 0.01) and between Financing Decisions and Entrepreneurial Success (r = .684, Probability value < 0.01).
The study further recommends that SMEs should develop strategies to solve problems affecting people in a user-centric ways. SMEs should focus on achieving practical results and solutions that are economically viable which means offering profitable products or services; technically viable which means that the businesses should be able to implement them and desirable for the users which means that they should meet real user needs and expectations.
