Nowadays competing in unforgiving and dynamic markets requires fostering innovative cultures that continuously actualize the fit between the changing requirements of demanding customers and the organization's offering and capabilities.In a clear move towards this direction, many large companies have started implementing programs aimed at building innovation as a broad and sustainable competence installed in their DNA. As organizational cultures have to do with all organizational members, a shared characteristic of many innovation initiatives is involving and reaching people at every corner of the organization. Using a cognitive perspective and a rich database, this paper explores how structural aspects influence the way in which employees perceive innovation building initiatives. Results show that there are relevant perception gaps among both functional areas and hierarchical levels, and that there is a widespread skepticism regarding the future of these initiatives.

Nowadays competing in unforgiving and dynamic markets requires fostering innovative cultures that continuously update the fit between the changing requirements of demanding customers and organizations' offering and capabilities. In a clear move towards this direction, many large companies have started implementing programs aimed at building innovation as a broad and sustainable capability installed in their DNA. Given that incorporating innovation into organizational cultures involves all organizational members, a shared challenge of many innovation initiatives is reaching and including people at every corner of the organization. This exploratory study aims to contribute to a better understanding of how factors at the individual, organizational, and environmental levels influence the way employees evaluate innovation initiatives. Results from the analysis of a sizable database show that the factors examined in this study explain a large proportion of the variability found, that there are relevant differences among both functional areas and hierarchical levels, and also suggest that there are both synergetic and moderating interactions between factors. The results reported here add to the increasing literature on innovation management and provide insights into the design and implementation of Innovation Management Systems that take into account factors that influence the way in which organizational members perceive and respond to innovation initiatives.

Innovation contributes to corporate competitiveness, economic performance and environmental sustainability. In the Internet era, innovation intelligence is transferred across borders and languages at an unprecedented rate, yet the ability to benefit from it seems to become more divergent among different corporations and countries. How much an organization can benefit from innovation largely depends on how well innovation is managed in it. Thus, there is a discernible increase in interest in the study of innovation management. This handbook provides a comprehensive guide to this subject. The handbook introduces the basic framework of innovation and innovation management. It also presents innovation management from the perspectives of strategy, organization and resource, as well as institution and culture. The book’s comprehensive coverage on all areas of innovation management makes this a very useful reference for anyone interested in the subject.
