“…According to Rothwell's (1994), the fourth generation of models focus on linkages/alliances and particularly emphasizes on integration within firm, its suppliers & customers. Cohn (2013) in their innovation management framework have included 'suppliers' as one of the parameters for assessment of innovation. On the other hand, the Pakistani ICT professionals did not give 'supplier' a higher rank as a factor that impacts innovation.…”

Various aspects of innovation management have been discussed in literature over the past few decades. Most of the innovation management frameworks have been formulated by undertaking studies in the developed world and lack the industry/culture specific focus. In this paper, we revisit the generic innovation management studies to develop an innovation management framework for highlighting the factors affecting innovation specifically at the Information Communication Technology (ICT) sector of Pakistan. A detailed literature review has been conducted to identify the factors included in the past innovation management models. To identify the factors specific for Pakistan, senior-level professionals, working at the Pakistani ICT organizations were interviewed based on a survey. A comparative analysis of the innovation management frameworks for Pakistan against those previously found in literature revealed interesting similarities and differences. Based on the study findings, an innovation management framework is developed that highlights the present factors which are important for innovation in the ICT sector for Pakistan. This framework can be used by Pakistan and other underdeveloped countries for improving their innovation in ICT sectors in particular and other sectors in general.

“…Thirdly, modelling R&D processes allows for the definition of inputs, outputs, and outcomes as well as the nature of each process and its supporting tangible and intangible resources (Baglieri et al, 2000). R&D processes must be aligned with the innovation management structure (Adams et al, 2006;Davila et al, 2006;Cohn, 2013) in order to support complex and non-linear interaction between operations and strategy. The latter are present in typical fourth-and-fifth generation R&D systems (Rothwell, 1994).…”

“…If the R&D function demands a managerial tool to evaluate multiple dimensions at the same time, then a dashboard-based model must be used to support PMS design (Sawhney et al, 2006;Chen et al, 2013;Cohn, 2013;Škerlj, 2014).…”

Goal: This paper aims to set the foundation on which a performance measurement system for the R&D function will be developed, assuming it not only as an organizational division, but also as a comprehensive process in order to better evaluate its efficiency and effectiveness. Design/Methodology/Approach: This paper adopts a Design Science Research strategy as its methodological basis. It focuses on bringing guidelines from the body of organizational theory of knowledge to design effective management solutions for an R&D performance measurement system. Results: A set of well-defined Design Principles to guide performance measurement system designs for R&D management. Limitations of the investigation: Even though the design principles have been systematically obtained from the literature review, there was no adequacy test of these principles in practical cases, which should be conducted in future research. Practical Implications: Managers and leaders of R&D teams may use theory-grounded guidelines to design their performance systems and to adjust such systems to their specific needs. Originality/ Value: The main practical contribution of the study findings is to provide a comprehensive set of guidelines to design a R&D Performance Measurement System, rather than proposing another new complete theoretical framework to add to the literature.

Abstract. Since 1991, the government has started the forces to encourage public sector to innovate in order to strengthen the capability and solve problems at workplace for the benefit of organization and its people. The focuses of this forces is to create value creation, encourage cost reduction, and provide services that meet aspirations and people's expectations through high impact ideas. However, to achieve these focuses, public sector faces few challenges that affect the management of innovation; which includes lack of leadership skills and poor innovative culture to stimulate innovation. Although there are various initiatives conducted to enhance the management innovation, the innovative performance is still less satisfactory. Therefore, this paper aims to discuss the determinant factors that affect managing innovation in the selected public sectors which consist of two categories; patron and executor agencies. Thematic approach was used to analyse the interview data. Findings from the interview suggested that in the organization, an employee especially a leader should show his full commitment towards innovative culture, he needs to be committed and supportive and communicate well with the employees and he also should provide attractive rewards to encourage the innovative culture for an effective management innovation. These determinant factors need to be considered as high significant for the public sector to develop new strategies or approaches in managing innovation towards sustaining their competitive advantages in a long term for the benefit of public.
