Innovation Management Systems
Edit

Standardized innovation management systems (SIMS) are homogeneous management systems which accelerate the conversion of an organization’s innovation strategy into effective actions. Thus, SIMSs ensure that innovation means not mere shiny novel inventions, but rather an organization’s ability to recognize and pursue new areas of opportunity while reacting to fluctuating conditions in its environment. In 2006, the Spanish Association for Standardization and Certification (AENOR) issued the Spanish UNE 166002: 2006, the first innovation management standard, as sets of principles intended to aid organizations in navigating the multifaceted process of innovation, schematizing their activities and improving management efficiency.

1. Introduction

We can describe innovation as the development of new products or the significant improvement of new goods or services. It can also be defined as new marketing, organizational, or business strategies [1]. In the innovation management systems literature, innovation is commonly considered to be a fundamental dynamic of the enhancement of corporate competitiveness [2]. Perhaps for this reason, the innovation process is deemed an indispensable corporate process which has to be appropriately managed in order to foster business performance in the aspects of business profitability, productivity, quality of service, and customer and employee satisfaction [3], and to achieve a reasonable return on investment for the resources required by the these processes.

Standardized innovation management systems (SIMS) are homogeneous management systems which accelerate the conversion of an organization’s innovation strategy into effective actions [4][5]. Thus, SIMSs ensure that innovation means not mere shiny novel inventions, but rather an organization’s ability to recognize and pursue new areas of opportunity while reacting to fluctuating conditions in its environment [6]. In 2006, the Spanish Association for Standardization and Certification (AENOR) issued the Spanish UNE 166002: 2006, the first innovation management standard, as sets of principles intended to aid organizations in navigating the multifaceted process of innovation, schematizing their activities and improving management efficiency. In the same context, other countries have developed similar standards, such as the BS 7000-1: 2008 standard (BSI, 2008) in the UK (first edition in 1989), while some countries have amended the Spanish standards, such as Portugal (IQP, 2007), Mexico (NMX, 2008), Brazil (ABNT, 2011) and Denmark (Dansk Standard, 2010).

Two systematic literature reviews for innovation management systems were conducted. One analyzed 27 articles in order to build a tentative interpretative framework of innovation management systems which critically highlights and discusses their most common elements and aspects [7], and the other focused exclusively on models that graphically represent innovation management [8].

MRQ2. Have innovation management standards matured from a practical point of view?

2. Methodology: Article Selection

Our approach to the literature review was designed to be organized, clear and reproducible [9]. The systematic literature review was conducted for the papers appeared between 1 November 2020 and 1 February 2021, and began with a search for peer-reviewed journal articles in scientific journal databases, as this review process is a tool for quality management that verifies the information presented by these articles [10].

We chose the Mendeley and Google Scholar search engines, as they are the main free tools for academic research that have expanded their research capabilities in recent years [11].

The final sample was analyzed using an Excel datasheet [12], and the final database includes information such as the type of author (single author or collaboration), the type of paper (conceptual or empirical), the design, the type of research performed (survey, theoretical, data analysis), the applied methodology, and the key findings and contributions of each article.

After that, we pre-tested and shared the coding scheme with two field scholars in order to reach a consensus on the final information to be used. We synthesized the evidence, providing a clear perception of the status of the innovation management systems/standards literature. This systematic clustering process represents a consistent approach for future research.

3. Descriptive Results: Analysis

The database of the results allowed the extrapolation of some interesting information, even at a general level. First of all, the annual distribution of the articles reveals that the subject was of less importance before 2012; seven articles were published in 2012, and the article frequency peaked at 24 articles from 2015 to 2017, as shown in Figure 1 .

Figure 1. Number of articles per year.

In addition to the 57 other academic journals represented, the Journal of Engineering and Technology Management, Procedia: Social and Behavioral Sciences and Technovation are the most relevant journals which have published articles on this topic, with three articles each. In total, 32 articles were published in the journals with scores of more than 0.5 (impact factor 2019), as shown in Table 1 .

The articles were created in a various geographical regions. As shown in Figure 2 , 52% of the articles were from Europe, 10% were from Asia, 10% were from South America and 22% had no geographical identifications.

Figure 2. Geographic scope analysis.
The highest proportion from any one country was from Spain, at 14%. This result maybe related to the fact that Spain was the first country to introduce innovation management standards (Spain 2006 UNE 166002:2006–R&D&I Management: Requirements of the R&D&I management system) [13].

4. Comprehensive Review of IMS/St

Furthermore, 33% of these articles (eight articles) developed a new model, but five of them did not verify the outcomes [4][14][15][16][17], although each of them declared the unique characteristics for their models.

In studies of this group, various fields were studied , i.e., services [18], communications, construction, industry, nanotechnology [19], education [20], labs [21], mobile industry [22], aerospace [23] and countries (Peru, Colombia, Spain, France, etc.). Just one study examined the main innovation challenges of managing uncertainty and risk, and the difficulty of cross-functional coordination [24].
