The front end in radical process innovation projects: Sources of knowledge problems and coping mechanisms

Measuring Process Innovation Output: Results From Firm-Level Panel Data

“…Other studies tried measure qualify this binary measure by measuring the degree of novelty of process innovation. One approach used bei Simms et al (2021) relates to 'radical process innovation' which is the introduction of processes that fall outside the firm's existing production technologies. Another approach is to identify process innovations that were entirely new to the industry (Reichstein andSalter 2006, Möldner et al 2020).…”

Propuesta de un modelo de innovación abierta a un sector de las Pymes de la ciudad de Cuenca-Ecuador

“…En la realidad de las PYMES, sobresale la falta de una cultura empresarial abierta a la innovación, debido a visiones tradicionales, una participación del personal reduca en el proceso de toma de decisiones y un conocimiento limitado del sector en el que se desempeña (Simms et al, 2021). Este tipo de culturas, dan paso a estructuras cerradas, en donde el dueño o gerente de la empresa, es el único decisor y de quien depende los cambios; además tampoco existe la apertura para la creación de equipos ni de espacios para generar ideas.…”

How does capability reconfiguration impact the innovation performance of Chinese manufacturing firms?

“…Incremental innovations are the minimal improvement and minor adjustments to the existing technology ( Munson and Pelz, 1979 ), which involve continuously refining, and exploiting within an existing current technological trajectory ( Dewar and Dutton, 1986 ), while radical innovations represent a risky departure away from an existing technological trajectory ( Dosi, 1982 ; Schoenmakers and Duysters, 2010 ; Ashford and Hall, 2011 ). A lot of the literature focuses on the study of the concepts ( Dewar and Dutton, 1986 ; Chandy and Tellis, 1998 ; McDermott and O’Connor, 2002 ; Zhang and Chen, 2011 ), characteristics ( Henderson and Clark, 1990 ; Leifer et al, 2001 ; O’Connor and Veryzer, 2001 ; Zhang and Chen, 2011 ), differences ( Danneels, 2004 ; Fu and Zhang, 2004 ; Wang H. et al, 2022 ) and influencing factors ( Sandberg and Aarikka-Stenroos, 2014 ; Simms et al, 2021 ) of the two modes of innovation. There are also several pieces of literature discussing the possible impact of capability reconfiguration on incremental or radical innovation, such as capability evolution and capability substitution have asymmetric effects on incremental and radical innovation performance ( Lennerts et al, 2020 ; Ovuakporie et al, 2021 ), and capability evolution and capability substitution generation have quite different effects on enterprise radical innovation in the long and short term ( Liu and Su, 2022 ).…”
