“…The SIMSMA is the first approach (Fig. 1), adapted from Lawson and Samson (2001) that makes it possible to examine three principal dimensions: i) Standardized Innovation Management System (SIMS) ii) Innovation capability (IC) iii) Business performance (BP) Drawing on this model from Lawson and Samson (2001), combined with the innovation capability measurement framework (Saunila and Ukko, 2012), the authors propose a new model, SIMSMA2, that includes all the hypotheses that can shed light on the objective of this study, especially the hypotheses related to the SIMS. The method is also inspired by previous models that were developed to examine the relationship between TQM and innovation (Prajogo and Sohal, 2006).…”

“…The nomological validity of the developed scale was analyzed by hypothesizing that the sustained innovation capability of a firm is one of the determinants of competitive performance, as noted in the literature [46][47][48]. The hypothesis was examined by measuring the competitive performance of a firm through the product and process competitive performances.…”

Abstract:The business environment is currently characterized by intensified competition at both the national and firm levels. Many studies have shown that innovation positively affect firms in enhancing their competitiveness. Innovation is a dynamic process that requires a continuous, evolving, and mastered management. Evaluating the sustainability of overall innovation capability of a business is a major means of determining how well this firm effectively and efficiently manages its innovation process. A psychometrically valid scale of evaluating the sustainability of overall innovation capability of a firm is still insufficient in the current innovation literature. Thus, this study developed a reliable and valid scale of measuring the sustainability of overall innovation capability construct. The unidimensionality, reliability, and several validity components of the developed scale were tested using the data collected from 175 small and medium-sized enterprises in Iran. A series of systematic statistical analyses were performed. Results of the reliability measures, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and several components of validity tests strongly supported an eight-dimensional (8D) scale of measuring the sustainability of overall innovation capability construct. The dimensions of the scale were strategic management, supportive culture and OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7 538 structure, resource allocation, communication and networking, knowledge and technology management, idea management, project development, and commercialization capabilities.

“…This research believes innovation capability is a great ability to provide innovative services and products continuously through the organizational capabilities, capacities and competencies. This definition is utilized by some other researches (Saunila et al, 2014;Saunila & Ukko, 2012;Sáenz et al, 2009;Lawson & Samson, 2001). Innovation capability completes as the result of several relationships and communication among organizational, resources, qualifications, and connections with other organizations (Hii & Neely, 2000) so the innovation capability increases the competitive advantage of the firms (Tidd et al, 2005).…”

The scholars in the field of strategic management have developed two major approaches for attainment of competitive advantage: an approach based on environmental opportunities, and another one based on internal capabilities of an organization. Some investigations in the last two decades have indicated that the advantages relying on the internal capabilities of organizations may determine the competitive position of organizations better than environmental opportunities do. Characteristics of firms shows that one of the most internal capabilities that lead the organizations to the strongest competitive advantage in the organizations is the innovation capability. The innovation capability is associated with other organizational capabilities, and many organizations have focused on the need to identify innovation capabilities.This research focuses on recognition of the structural aspect of innovation capability and proposes a conceptual framework based on a Qualitative Meta Synthesis of academic literature on organizations innovation capability. This is proposed for the development of the concept of innovation capability in the organizations and this paper includes an expert based validation in three rounds of the Delphi method. And for the purpose of a better appreciation of the relationship dominating the factors of the conceptual framework, it has distributed the questionnaire in Iranian companies of the Food industry. At last, this research proposed a direct relationship between Innovation Capability and Structural Capability. Also, it offers the
