Evaluating innovation ideas: a comprehensive approach to New Product Development

Augmenting innovation project portfolio management performance: the mediating effect of management perception and satisfaction

“…() argue that the ‘[…] effective management of the innovation project portfolio is increasingly important to organizational survival’ (15, p. 1) and, according to Kerka et al. (, p. 192), executives ‘[…] are increasingly estimating the effectiveness and efficiency in the R&D portfolio management as a strategic competitive advantage.’ To achieve a high‐performing IPPM, it is essential that relevant management understands the process and is aware of its role and responsibility in it (Cooper et al., ). Therefore, we argue in line with Lerch and Spieth () that IPPM performance is directly affected by ‘management satisfaction and perception’ as this drives the actual application of IPPM methods and enhances decision quality and proactive support.…”

Innovation Project Portfolio Management: A Qualitative Analysis

“…effective management of the innovation project portfolio is increasingly important to organizational survival" [15, p. 1]. According to Kerka et al [45] executives "[. .…”

“…Literature provides a variety of measures for company performance, using a qualitative (e.g., competitive position) as well as a quantitative (e.g., financial ratios) perspective [2], [15], [27], [45], [46]. According to the aforementioned arguments, we state that better IPPM performance leads to higher company performance.…”

Multi-Dimensional View of Innovation Performance from Knowledge Dynamics to Maturity Matrix

“…According to Kerka, Kriegesmann, and Schwering (2009), Liberatore and Stylianou (1995), roughly 6% of all official ideas and 14% of the promising ideas attaining the implementation stage become a commercial success. Hence, the continuous measurement of performance is important for effective management as it provides the foundation through the persistent investigation of ideas throughout the innovation process.…”

“…Hence, the continuous measurement of performance is important for effective management as it provides the foundation through the persistent investigation of ideas throughout the innovation process. Likewise, the findings of Kerka, Kriegesmann, and Schwering (2009) have shown a lack of research on this subject and argued that the missing of appropriate evaluation mechanism is the most challenging problem. This gap is especially applied to the measurement activity at the early stages of the innovation process, as many evaluation mechanisms are simply not up to deal with the special characteristics of the front end of innovation.…”
