“…As defined by Schumpeter [Sch34], traditionally the economic benefits and, as the understanding of innovation in the past has been highly product-oriented, primarily monetary profits and marketability have been addressed [Wit10]. Still, during the transition from industrial to knowledge and service society an increasingly holistic notion of innovation establishes itself that integrates a multitude of other sorts of innovation besides product innovation [THJ11,Gar10].…”

“…In order to establish a holistic perspective on innovative processes, including the human and social components as well as organizational operating and working conditions as of equal importance, companies must create the conditions which enable a system to continuously induce innovations [THJ11]. The success or failure of innovative activities is crucially determined by the value placed on innovation processes by the management of a company.…”

The economic situation of today forces organizations to innovate on a continual basis. Therefore the central aim of a sustainable management of innovation is to increase the innovative capability of a company in order to establish a system of continuous innovation. The article deals with the fundamental questions of the nature of innovation and gives a holistic view of how innovations emerge in enterprises. Against the background of central dilemmas of economic acting, it describes eleven transdisciplinary and practice-oriented strategies for companies to cope with the dilemmas, strengthen their own innovative capability and so establish a system of continuous innovation. The following insights are intermediate results of the German research and development project "International Monitoring" (IMO).

“…The second type of definition of innovativeness understands the term as “the quality of being innovative” (Kumar, 2014, p. 3) and is in line with the definition of major dictionaries (e.g., “Innovativeness,” 2018a, 2018b, 2018c). In this context, innovativeness can be defined as the conditions that “need to be created for a system to continuously—not just intermittently—induce innovations” (Trantow, Hees, & Jeschke, 2011, p. 3) and can be applied to entities, from individuals to entire societies. For national innovativeness, different terms are in use, such as innovative capacity (Furman, Porter, & Stern, 2002; Porter & Stern, 2001), propensity to innovate (Williams & McGuire, 2010), or innovation performance (Adam, 2013; Gault, 2014).…”

National innovativeness is one key driver of economic development. The relation of national innovativeness and national culture has been firmly established by research. Cultural factors, however, influence national innovativeness via different mechanisms on the macro-, meso-, and micro-level of a country. In our article, we build on existing research on the link between cultural dimensions and national innovativeness to develop a new model that classifies different cultural dimensions in groups according to their mechanism: political, social, or individual (PSI-model). Using a newly established data set composed of world data, we test and find support for this model using a variety of regression models. The PSI-model provides a more structured theoretical background of the impact of different cultural dimensions on national innovativeness, especially with regard to social practices and social values. It can be used to generate policy recommendations on national innovativeness and offers further applications in fields related to the various impacts of national culture.

“…Innovative capability comprises the complex interrelationships between the human, organizational and technological requirements to continuously create and realize new ideas, which contribute to sustainable changes [3]. In the Oslo Manual [4] the understanding of innovative capability is extended to a spatial and regional perspective: Region-specific location factors crucially influence the creation of innovations and regional disparities have to be precisely examined [4,5].…”

The capability of regions to continuously innovate constitutes a key factor for competitiveness. Regional innovative capability is described through a complex interaction of the dimensions human, organization and technology, which needs to be measured in a differentiated manner. This paper aims at the identification and operationalization of regional innovative capability. The objective is to compile an extended set of indicators to provide a basis for a further development towards a measurement and management tool that enables the more precise evaluation of the innovation capability of a region, as well as statements on sensitive control factors of regional development.
