“…Furthermore, empirical studies show that the implementation of many innovative ideas fails [10]. Kriegesmann and Kerka found out that only 13% of all innovative ideas are implemented, of which only 50% are successful [11]. One reason is probably that innovations are fundamentally "uncertain, risky, and unpredictable" [12].…”

“…The realization of even a few unsuccessful innovations can threaten the existence of SMEs [13], [14]. Consequently, innovations are a risk [12] that companies must nevertheless take to secure their competitiveness and generate growth [11].

Innovation management is an essential prerequisite for the effective and efficient generation, planning, and implementation of ideas and thus for the further development of companies in a dynamic market and competitive environment. In order to investigate the internal innovation potential of production and service companies, this article examines basic success factors and challenges of innovation management in German small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a view to the sector to which they belong. On the basis of a questionnaire and interviews with experts, companies were considered with regard to their assessment of their innovative capacity. Based on an analysis of data from 30 participants, we show that the innovation capacity of SMEs with regard to success factors and challenges in production companies differs significantly from that of service companies. We also find that there is a discrepancy in the assessment of the potential for improvement of success factors and challenges. Our study shows that in the field of German SMEs, there is no “best way” to increase innovative capacity, but that it depends on a combination of different factors.
