Discovering Correlations between Innovation Capability Data Components: Organizational and Individual
Abstract
Innovation Capability is an organizational capability consisting of three parts regarding the organization, and one those individuals of the organization. Therefore, Innovation capability can be viewed via two components: organizational and individual, both including features affecting the organization’s capability for innovation, which potentially have relations with each other. However, it has not yet been discovered which of the features correlate with each other. Hereby, this research paper focuses on finding correlations while studying the organizational innovation capability data from organizational and individual perspectives. First the conceptual part of the paper deals with the concepts of organizational innovation capability and individual’s innovation competence together with a model of their interrelations. Then the empiric test evidence result of study with 98 people representing five knowledge-intensive organizations is presented. This paper suggests that there are correlations between innovation capability components individual and organizational features, therefore it is also suggested that this subject should be approach holistically both by managers and researchers.
