Abstract

Organizational  innovation is defined as the adoption of an idea or behavior that is new to the  organization or to the relevant market sector. It is the actualization of  technology or new administrative practices in terms of new products, which  include tangible products and intangible services, or new processes, which  include direct production or service delivery processes and support operations,  in an organization. While diversified concepts of innovation are examined, a  generic framework for managing organizational innovation is established to  portray the notion in a methodical approach. The framework includes the core  value and critical factors of successful organization innovation management.  Substantiation of the framework has been carried out in Hong Kong and China in  past few years. The framework is also further expanded to the development of an  assessment scheme for organizational innovation. After assessing the current  organizational innovation management systems and practices of the organization  with the aid of a computer-aided assessment system, the organization could  formulate improvement actions according to the identified strength and weakness  in order to enhance the organizational innovation management of the company up  to a competitive level. This presentation aims to give an overview of the  underlying concepts and approaches of this framework and assessment scheme, as  well as a proposed way to implement organizational innovation management in a  company.
