“…Innovation is a process (Totterdell et al, 2002) and, therefore, it needs to be managed (Tidd, Bessant & Pavitt, 1997). There are other studies that reinforce the idea of innovation as a process (Marinova & Phillimore, 2003;Shavinina & Seeratan, 2003;Sundbo, 2003;Tidd;Bessant & Pavitt, 1997;Totterdell et al, 2002).…”

This study has as its objective to analyze the critical aspects of the innovation management in terms of structure, strategy and processes of innovation of the Natura and Oxiteno companies. In order to do so, the study reviewed the literature about innovation management, strategies and processes of innovation. A multiple case study was adopted for the Natura and Oxiteno cases. As their data, instrument documents were obtained and interviews were made with managers and researchers working with innovation in both companies. A qualitative approach for the proposed problem was also utilized. The result highlighted similarities and differences within the structures and strategies of how innovation is developed inside and outside each company and their own innovation processes. In the case of Natura, the innovation funnel and technology funnel were used, whereas, in the case of Oxiteno, the innovation funnel and technology silos. Natura was distinguished for their model of open innovation, within the network, and for its sustainability culture. On the other hand, Oxiteno stood out for the freedom it gave to researchers to propose innovation projects. The study presented contributions to the organizations and academia by indicating some limitations in their development processes, as well as suggestions for further studies.

“…Although the terms, creativity and innovation, are often used interchangeably in the management literature, employee creativity is increasingly conceptualized as a necessary prerequisite and starting point for innovation. As such, innovation originates from within the individual, that is, from his/her new ideas (Scott & Bruce, 1994;Rickards, 2003;Shavinina & Seeratan, 2003;Zhou & George, 2001). Hence, we posit that individual employee creativity is positively associated with workplace innovative activity.…”

This study presents the results of an investigation focused on the university position towards innovation. 219 students, future teachers for preschool and primary education, have been involved in the survey and voluntarily filled in an online questionnaire. The results indicate that most students agree that the development of innovation skills has to be an aim of the current educational system and that it's an important objective of their university. Still, a high percent of students disagrees with the fact that they have enough time to be innovative and that university is a proper environment to be innovative. However, most participants agreed that teachers can stimulate the students' interest for innovation and they also have an active role in cultivating their capacity for innovation. Participants believe that all students should benefit from programs focused on the development of their innovation skills, not only those students with an innovative potential. The answers of participants suggest that university is theoretically opened toward innovation and the development of students' innovative skills. However, in practice there are some malfunctions, as the results of the study indicate.
