Innovation Capability: A Systematic Review of the Literature

This work contributes to consolidate academic research on innovation capacity. A systematic methodology was applied to review the literature since 1991. The recovered literature was analyzed and synthesized into a multidimensional framework composed of 7 determinants of innovation capability - transformational leadership; strategic intent to innovate; personnel management innovation; customer and market knowledge; strategic management of technology; organicity of the organizational structure; and project management that results in performance innovation in products and processes. Additionally, an inventory of management practices that characterize and underpin the aforementioned factors was conducted and presented. The framework and the list of management practices can be used as a basis for future empirical research or as a guide for improving firms' innovation capabilities.

本研究致力于整合创新能力（innovation capacity）领域的学术研究成果。研究采用系统性方法论对1991年以来的相关文献开展系统回顾，对检索得到的文献进行分析与综合，最终构建出包含7项创新能力决定因素的多维度框架：变革型领导力（transformational leadership）、创新战略意图、人员管理创新、客户与市场知识、技术战略管理、组织结构有机性，以及可实现产品与流程绩效创新的项目管理。此外，本研究还梳理并呈现了一套用以表征并支撑上述各决定因素的管理实践清单。该框架与管理实践清单既可作为未来实证研究的基础，亦可作为企业提升自身创新能力的实践指引。
