Innovation Ability

Purposes This paper aims at investigating the link between inter-organizational relationships and innovation, discussing whether the probability to detect a greater innovation propensity of organizations increases with or without collaborative partnerships. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on secondary data provided by the Italian Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) about a representative sample of 8,967 Italian firms, three multinomial logit models and four logit models have been estimated, in an attempt to examine the effects of inter-organizational relationships on different types of organizational innovation. Findings A positive and statistically significant relationship between inter-organizational relationships and organizational innovation emerged from all the models which were arranged for the purpose of this study. Several categories of partners, including suppliers, universities and firms belonging to the same holding group, were found to be more effective in fostering the probability of organizational innovation. Interestingly, geographical proximity did not seem to influence the organizational propensity to innovate. Practice implications Even though further developments are needed to disentangle the complex link between inter-organizational relationships and organizational innovation, the former are likely to positively affect the innovation ability of organizations. From this point of view, it could be argued that partners perform as catalysts, which boost the knowledge creation process underlying the emergence of organizational innovation. Originality/value This is one of the first attempts to exploit the potential of multinomial logit models and logit models to investigate the effects of inter-organizational relationships on the propensity of organizations to innovate.

Empirical Material

Drawing on data from two projects where artists used their artistic competence as organizational change facilitators, we argue for a theoretical coupling of the discourse(s) of design thinking to research streams within art-and-management. The artistic dimension of design, the practice perspective and the artistic process should be considered if we are to understand the full potential of design thinking for companies. This paper describes two artistic intervention projects that highlight valuable ways artists can contribute to organizational innovation and change.  We begin with the theoretical frame of reference and a short methodological statement, followed by the empirical material.  In the analysis section we point to ways in which such interventions are similar to ones led by designers when we consider the designer’s process as individualized and contextualized.  Finally, we draw conclusions.

Intellectual capital can generate value for organizations and improve organizational innovation. This study aims to investigate the effects of intellectual capital on corporate innovation. Mixed research methodology approach has been used by combining both qualitative and quantitative analysis to explore and empirical examine the research model. The targeted population of interest is the licensed pharmaceutical manufactures, 90 organizations in the Egyptian pharmaceutical industry throughout its three main sectors (11 public, 70 local private and 9 MNCs). Statistical analyses are employed based on the questionnaires gathered from 39 pharmaceutical manufactures’ companies (44% response rate). In addition, sixty-three “63” in depth interviews have been conducted with both top and middle managers. The research findings indicate that all dimensions of intellectual capital (human, structural, and relational capital) have positive significant effects on organizational innovation of pharmaceutical manufactures’ companies. The study clarifies that the most dominant dimension is structural capital, which provides the largest and strongest support to pharmaceutical manufactures’ companies. The deep realization of the importance intellectual capital and its impact on innovation helps leaders to adopt accurate system to run organizational innovation in a better way, which lead to sustainable competitive advantage for organizations.

 Culinary industry competition getting tougher to make some employers continue to innovate at a restaurant for some things like menu, places, atmosphere and service that became the mainstay of the restaurant. In so doing, it needs one innovation ability of human resources quality and competence in their field. Innovation will be a reminder for consumers who feel the restaurant services and in turn will increase the revenue thus achieved profit restaurant that is optimal.The selected researchers research object was 3rd Restaurant Oriental cuisine i.e. Kapin, X O Cuisine and Paradise Dynasty which respectively have 3 and 2 branches of the restaurant. This research uses the concept of job characteristics expressed by Hackman and Oldham (1976), which are further subdivided into 5 independent variables namely a diversity of tasks, task identity, task meaningful, autonomy and feedback as well as the dependent variable turnover intention, while the analysis on research using multiple linear regression with the respondent an amount of 120 people that consists of all the employees of the restaurant. Data processing results shows that the diversity of the variable assignments and most influential task ID with a value of beta X1  0,676 and the beta X 2 of 0,538 so that these two variables have a positive and significant impact on the turnover intention because the variable is greater than 0.05 alpha. While the 3 other variables i.e  tasks meaningful, autonomy and feedback does not affect significantly to turnover intention. Keywords: Job Characteristics, Turnover intention.
