Tidd and Bessant (2009) model
a b s t r a c t
Despite innovation's importance in rm strategy and competitiveness, most innovation research fails to examine
some important questions relating to innovation. This study focuses on two innovation management issues:
Identication of determinants of the innovation management process and the implications of these determinants
for rm innovation performance. Building on Tidd and Bessant's (2009) conceptual model, this study examines
innovation capacity constructs within innovation management structures.

1. Introduction
Innovation is crucial to attaining economic and social success in
today's globalized business world (Senge, Carstedt, & Porter, 2006). However, scholars have yet to clearly dene, fully develop, and fully understand innovation (Mazzarol & Reboud, 2011). Schumpeter (1934) is a
pioneer in recognizing innovation as fundamental to generating economic development. As a process, innovation incorporates management activities and decision-making at individual and organizational levels. The skill
with which rms perform their daily tasks, confront risks, and invest time
and money in organizations determines how innovation outputs arise
(Cooper, 1998; Mazzarol & Reboud, 2011). Environmental uncertainty
and complexity shape rms' innovation management (Tidd, 2001). Conguring resources according to consumers' needs or market conditions
requires great exibility (Mazzarol & Reboud, 2011; Tidd, 2001). Hence,
rms' innovation ability allows them to compete and perform better
than competitors do (Barney, 1991; Day, 1994). Thus, application of resources and capacities affects innovation level (Grant, 1996; Lowendahl,
1997) and organizational success (Penrose, 1959). Hence, studying factors that foster innovation is fundamental (Fernandes, Ferreira, &
Marques, 2012; Ferreira, Raposo, & Fernandes, 2012; Koc & Ceylan, 2007).
Despite innovation's universal importance to organizations across
different sectors, most studies focus on case studies or a single sector
(Ettlie & Rosenthal, 2011; Miles, 2005). Furthermore, the literature

drives innovation (Hult, Hurley, & Knight, 2004; Hurley & Hult, 1998;
Keskin, 2006; Lee & Tsai, 2005; Ussahawanitchakit, 2008).
2.4. Learning
Management theories emphasize the crucial relationship between innovation and learning in attaining and maintaining competitive advantage (Baker & Sinkula, 2002; Brockmand & Morgan, 2003; Darroch &
McNaugton, 2002; Dodgson, 1993; Fiol & Lyles, 1985; Garvin, 1993;
Gnyawali, Steward, & Grant, 1997; Nevis, Dibella, & Gould, 1995;
Vrakking, 1990; Wolfe, 1994). Researchers defending this position report
that learning dominates all innovation-based activities and increases
rms' exibility regarding innovation processes (Brown & Eisenhard,
1995; Jimnez & Sanz-Valle, 2011; Miles & Snow, 1978; WeerdNederhof, Pacitti, da Silva Gomes, & Pearson, 2002). Learning, innovation,
and performance interrelates positively (Keskin, 2006; Lee & Tsai, 2005;
Salavou & Lioukas, 2003). According to these authors, innovation requires
individuals to acquire and convey knowledge throughout the organization. Knowledge acquisition always depends on the organization's core
knowledge (Salavou & Lioukas, 2003). Greater core knowledge, gives organizational members greater capacity to absorb knowledge from the environment (Chang & Cho, 2008; Darroch & McNaugton, 2002). As Nonaka
(1994) proposes, innovation occurs whenever employees share their
knowledge with the rm. Yli-Renko, Autio, and Sapienza (2001) report
a positive correlation between knowledge acquisition and product innovation levels. Chang and Cho (2008) verify that sharing memories, using
external information, and implementing formal processes collectively expand the knowledge reserve, thus enabling innovation. Other authors
argue that investing in internal research and development, outsourcing
such practices, or engaging in research-based networks are the factors
that enhance and drive innovation capacities (Castellani & Zanfei, 2004;
Frenz & Ietto-Gillies, 2007; Fu, Diez, & Schiller, 2012; Moritra &
Krishnamoorthy, 2004).
2.5. Networking
The original and broadest approach to explaining why rms cooperate is the resource-based view. Wernerfelt (1984) claims that inter-rm
collaboration is essential to use complementary resources. From this
viewpoint, rms represent resource sets, and the most common motive
for cooperative relationships is resource interdependence. Firms ally
simply because they are not self-sufcient; through cooperation, rms
reduce uncertainty and access other resources (Chesnais, 1991; Dosi,
1982; Pfeffer & Salancik, 1978), especially technological resources
(Hagedoorn, 1993). Hagedoorn (1993) explains that rms cooperate
considering market and industry conditions. Particularly in sectors
with high interdependence and complexity levels, technological

42.47 8.22, 50.3% had attained graduate level educational qualications, and 13.5% had attained only the minimum educational level.
Regarding location, 31.2% of these businesses were in rural surroundings. In the most recent year (2012), 33.0% of rms received
500,000 in revenue, whereas 16.4% received less than 50,000 in
revenue. The sample's structure ensured equal representation of
Portugal's 22 mainland and archipelago regions. Finally, 46 owners
or managers responded to questionnaires either face-to-face or via
telephone.

and networking) were dependent variables in the MANOVAs. Subsequently, ANOVA with a single factor (innovation performance) evaluated which items were signicantly different to apply the Tukey post-hoc
test. Furthermore, chi-squared independence tests identied signicant
differences between rms' innovation performance.
3.3. Variable measurements
The original items in the T&B (2009) model measured the ve constructs in Table 1. The innovation performance variable had three levels:
low innovation performance (for rms reporting zero innovation), medium innovation performance (for rms reporting one innovation), and
high innovation performance (for rms reporting more than one innovation). The reference year was 2012.
4. Results
4.1. Innovation performance
Of all managers, 58.4% report low innovation performance, 28.8%
medium innovation performance, and only 12.8% high innovation performance. Table 2 presents a ranking of rms' characteristics by innovation performance.
Results reveal signicant differences (p b 0.001) between innovation
performance in different business sectors. Firms reporting high innovation performance all belong to the service sector (21.3%). All agricultural
rms and 75.5% of transformative industrial rms report low innovation
performance. All rms in the extractive industrial and construction sectors report medium innovation performance. Firms with high innovation
performance (9.88 5.98) are signicantly more mature (p b 0.001)
than rms reporting low (6.42 6.05) or medium (6.84 6.89) innovation performance. Regarding location, rms located in urban areas report
signicantly (p b 0.001) higher proportions of high performance levels
(16.9%) than do rms in rural environments (3.8%). Firms reporting
low innovation performance also generate less revenue than rms with
high innovation performance do. Firms achieving the highest innovation
performance are mature, urban-based service-sector rms with revenues of less than 200,000.
4.2. Managing innovation processes
This study analyzes the importance of each construct of the innovation management process using average scores (with a scale ranging
4.2.1. Strategy
Fig. 2 shows average rm innovation performance scores for the
strategy construct. Analysis yields signicant differences between
rms with different innovation performance in all items (except S6
and S8). In particular, items S1 (rm employees recognize innovation's
importance for competitiveness) and S7 (rm has mechanisms to analyze technological and market developments and evaluate these developments' effect on rm strategy) are more important to rms with high
innovation than to other rms.
Firms with high innovation place more value on mechanisms for analyzing developments in technologies and markets and for analyzing these
developments' effect on the organization's strategy than other rms do.
Firms reporting low innovation rates focus less than other rms do on:
sharing innovation strategies with all employees (i.e., ensuring employees
are aware of the rm's targets); employees' recognition of competencies
that make the rm competitive; and innovation as a determinant of the
rm's development among the professionals holding senior management
positions.
4.2.2. Process
Signicant differences between rms with different innovation performance appear in the eight items composing the process construct
(Fig. 3). Firms with high innovation performance attribute greater importance to all the process-related items. Notable items are P1 (rm
has mechanisms to help design and launch new ideas), P5 (rm systematically researches new product ideas), and P7 (rm has a clear system
for choosing innovation projects).
4.2.3. Organization
Signicant differences between rms with different innovation performance appear in the eight items composing the organization construct (Fig. 4). High-innovation rms emphasize fostering innovation,
using support systems, rewarding innovation initiatives, and ensuring
good organization and teamwork. Medium-innovation rms emphasize
staff members' involvement to generate ideas that improve products
and processes. Low-innovation rms emphasize structures conducive
to assistance and swift decision-making.

Signicant differences arise in all eight items in this construct. In
items L1 (major commitment to employee training), L5 (rm shares experiences with other rms), and L6 (rm records its development progress for other organizational staff members' benet), rms reporting
high innovation levels report signicantly higher average scores than
medium and low-innovation rms do. Low-innovation rms report signicantly lower scores on items L2 (rm reviews projects to improve
subsequent actions) and L8 (rm deploys measures to identify when
and where to improve innovation) than do other rms. Conversely,
low-innovation rms report signicantly higher scores than do other
rms for items L3 (rm works with universities and other research centers that may help in advancing knowledge), L4 (rm systematically
compares products and processes with competitors), and L7 (rm
learns from other organizations).

are more innovative than rms in other sectors are (Lemon & Sahota,
2004).
Most variables in the strategy construct reect statistically signicant
differences between rms with high innovation performance and rms
with medium and low innovation performance. Sundbo (1997) and
Teece (1992) posit these differences. Thus, the study highlights two factors that drive innovation: employee awareness of innovation's importance to rm competitiveness, and employee understanding of the
correlation between distinctive competences and rm competitiveness
(Lemon & Sahota, 2004; Roberts & Berry, 1985; Slappendel, 1996;
Wheelwright & Clark, 1995). Similarly, rms strive to inform employees
of targets, work toward anticipating threats, and capitalize on opportunities in the environment. These rms' leaders perceive innovation to be a
determining factor in rm development and develop mechanisms for systematically analyzing new technological and marketplace developments
to foster innovation. Thus, as per the T&B (2009) model, rms that develop clearly innovative strategies and that share and foster corresponding
goals can achieve high innovation performance. Senior management's

commitment to innovation and the link between rm strategy and innovation are not signicant enough to differentiate between rms. This nding indicates that although all rms show concern for innovation-related
issues (high average response rate), some rms fail to establish the processes necessary for innovation.
Results reveal signicant differences between rms with high innovation performance and rms with low and medium innovation performance for the eight items composing the process construct. Amabile
et al. (1996), and Chen and Guan (2011) posit that rms with the
greatest innovation potential implement management processes to
search for new product ideas, offer support to manage new ideas, and involve all departments in management processes (i.e., exibly controlling
deadlines, budgets, and innovative projects). However, these processes
also require external orientation and support mechanisms to succeed.
Results reveal signicant differences between rms with high innovation performance and rms with low innovation performance for the
eight items composing the organization construct. Organizational culture proves a fundamental innovation driver (Hult et al., 2004; Hurley
& Hult, 1998; Keskin, 2006; Lee & Tsai, 2005; Ussahawanitchakit,
2008). Teamwork, ease of horizontal and vertical communication, innovation incentives and reward systems, and an innovation-friendly environment constitute the organizational culture factors fundamental to
attaining high innovation performance. Despite signicant differences
in all variables, the most signicant differences are between mediuminnovation rms and rms with low and high innovation in developing
ideas and suggestions for innovation. This result indicates that, because
of organizational shortcomings, rms with low innovation levels do not
gather employees' innovation-related suggestions and ideas. Highinnovation rms, in contrast, may have specialist groups dedicated to
idea generation and may therefore have no need to collect employees'
ideas. On average, medium-innovation rms score more highly on
items measuring structures that enable rapid decision-making than
rms with low and high innovation performance do. This nding calls
for analysis within organizations to ascertain whether a correlation between these two factors exists. Small rms may have atter hierarchies,
which enable communication. Conversely, large rms deploy highly developed, highly institutionalized communication systems.
Scholars report learning process as fundamental in all innovationrelated activities (Brown & Eisenhard, 1995; Jimnez & Sanz-Valle,
2011; Miles & Snow, 1978; Weerd-Nederhof et al., 2002). Results partially conrm this importance. Results show signicant differences between
