AbstractPurpose -The importance of innovations in business management is a widely accepted hypothesis. Lately the research on innovation has widened to include consideration of the impact of social networks on the innovation. This paper aims to contribute to research on this approach by suggesting a framework for studying the social aspects of economic innovations. Design/methodology/approach -The paper discusses economic innovation as a product of organizational competencies, highlighting the importance of social network. Findings -This paper has three goals: we clarify the concept of economic innovation, we present the essential questions for studying the economic innovation process, and we present a proposal for an empirical approach and address problems in collecting data about economic innovations. Originality/value -The paper opens a new, socio-psychological approach to studying the innovation processes. It proposes a holistic approach to the phenomenon by combining these with the material aspects of an organization. The paper provides a scientific framework for a new research program.
Luovuus ja keksiminen on perinteisesti liitetty tieteeseen, teknologiaan ja taiteeseen. Kuitenkin myös liiketaloudellisessa toimintaympäristössä on käyttöä luovuudelle. Siksi taloutta kutsutaan nykyisin innovaatiotaloudeksi. Informaatiolla ja tiedolla ei kuitenkaan ole merkitystä, jos niitä ei osata soveltaa innovaatioprosessissa. Innovatiiviset yritykset ja innovatiiviset henkilöt keskittyvät enemmän tulevaisuuteen kuin menneeseen ja tällöin on sitouduttu luopumaan vanhoista uskomuksista, teorioista ja toimintatavoista.
Innovatiivisuudelle ei ole olemassa yhtä yksittäistä määritelmää, vaan innovatiivisuus elää käsitteenä tilanteen ja lähtökohdan mukaan. Se voidaan nähdä yksilön, yhteisön tai yhteiskunnan ominaisuudeksi. Yleensä sen katsotaan olevan sitä laadukkaampaa, mitä laadukkaammaksi talous, tekniikka ja yhteisön kehitys muodostuvat (Piva & Vivarelli 2007). Useimmiten innovatiivisuus tulkitaan käytännön kekseliäisyydeksi ja käytännön tasolla toteutuvaksi luovuudeksi. Tässä artikkelissa pohditaan sitä, minkälaisia käsityksiä opetusalan asiantuntijoilla on opettajan innovatiivisen toiminnan piirteistä.
