“…We discover that, at the individual level, being young and recently educated are significant predictors of entrepreneur innovation whereas, at the societal level, national wealth dampens the negative effect of age on innovation and heightens the positive effect of education on it. Our work, thus, extends the literature on the relationship between age and innovation by showing that younger entrepreneurs are more innovative and, by controlling for education, it establishes that this result is not as influenced by education as thought previously (Frosch, 2011).…”

“…Recent reviews of literature in this journal have begun to contribute to research on difference. For example, age discrimination (Wood et al 2008), age and innovation (Frosch 2011), top team diversity (Nielsen 2010), sexual harassment (McDonald 2011), role models for senior women (Sealy and Singh 2010) and explorations of the maternal body (Gatrell 2011). However, disability, impairment or ableism has not featured as a primary concern within these reviews.…”

Disability theory and disabled people's voices have remained marginal in attempts to include a wider range of theoretical perspectives and voices in organization studies. This includes studies of the normative assumptions underpinning socially constructed categories of difference. This paper addresses this gap by reviewing the literature on social categories of difference, intersectional studies and studies across human resource management and diversity literatures. The argument here is that, while research has begun to move from an individualized discourse of disability, disability remains inadequately theorized as a constructed difference. The paper reviews the disability studies literature to identify the relevance of conceptualizing disability for work organizations, problematizes the concepts of disability and impairment and differentiates competing discourses of disability. The contribution of this paper is threefold. First, it offers an alternative social interpretation discourse which argues that disability is constructed as a negated difference through assumed ableism, which is a normative expectation of non‐disability. Second, it presents impairment effects as legitimate organizing requirements rather than individualized problems. The paper argues impairment effects, the effects of bodily and cognitive variation, have legitimate implications for how disabled people negotiate organizing contexts. Third, it develops a disability studies lens to advance theoretical approaches to the study of social categories of difference in the field of management and organization studies.

“…Similarly, Janssen (2000) found that IWB depends on employees' age. Frosch (2011) found empirical evidence to conclude that the highest level of innovation could be found in employees between the ages of 30 and 50 depending on their area of expertise. Ericsson (1999), Youndt et al (1996) argued that innovation depends very much on the specific combination of knowledge and expertise of employees.…”

The telecommunications industry plays an important role in the socioeconomic development. In Vietnam, this is one of the industries with rapid growth but unsustainable, promoting the development in width without focusing on depth development. To aim for sustainable growth and deep development, every enterprise needs to consider and implement innovative work behavior (IWB). By both qualitative and quantitative methods, the author focused on researching IWB of Vietnam telecommunications enterprise employees. The results showed that the behavior of innovation should be considered both the behavior of innovative work of individuals and the behavior of innovative work of individuals and colleagues. At the same time, the study also concluded that there were differences in gender, age, education qualification and working experience of Vietnam telecommunication enterprise employees when evaluating and scoring two scales of acts of innovation. Research results contributed both theoretically and practically to scholars and managers of Vietnam telecommunications enterprises.
