“…This findings provide a more holistic approach to measurement that recognizes all aspects of innovation capacity and sustainability. This multiplicity nature of innovation capability construct has been well recognized in the innovation literature [5,9]. Secondly, the findings highlight the relative contributions of each dimension (j), to sustain the overall innovation capacity (βj).…”

“…Innovation is different from generating an idea, a method of executing works or technology. Instead, innovation must be considered a sustainable and continuous process of identifying and seizing opportunities in the ever-changing business environment [2,5]. Consequently, companies must commit to sustainability of their overall innovation capability, which is the critical driver toward sustained competitive advantages [6].…”

Abstract:The business environment is currently characterized by intensified competition at both the national and firm levels. Many studies have shown that innovation positively affect firms in enhancing their competitiveness. Innovation is a dynamic process that requires a continuous, evolving, and mastered management. Evaluating the sustainability of overall innovation capability of a business is a major means of determining how well this firm effectively and efficiently manages its innovation process. A psychometrically valid scale of evaluating the sustainability of overall innovation capability of a firm is still insufficient in the current innovation literature. Thus, this study developed a reliable and valid scale of measuring the sustainability of overall innovation capability construct. The unidimensionality, reliability, and several validity components of the developed scale were tested using the data collected from 175 small and medium-sized enterprises in Iran. A series of systematic statistical analyses were performed. Results of the reliability measures, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and several components of validity tests strongly supported an eight-dimensional (8D) scale of measuring the sustainability of overall innovation capability construct. The dimensions of the scale were strategic management, supportive culture and OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7 538 structure, resource allocation, communication and networking, knowledge and technology management, idea management, project development, and commercialization capabilities.

“…In practical field, integration of internal capabilities such as various functional groups working together and the external relations like supplier and customer involvement are equally imperative for NPD success (Johnson & Filippini, 2013). The effective integration of ideas, strategies, operational activities and commercialization procedure leads to the success of innovative product development (Sun et al, 2012). The very early stage of NPD consists of idea, screening and implementation phases which must be performed concurrently and as per time passes, these stages have been concurrently changed based on the practical environment (Nihtila, 1999).…”

Teamwork, for competitive advantage, involving techno-socio-cultural aspects of organizations for engineering developments, is gaining importance rather rapidly due to advent of globalization. The purpose of this study is to identify the importance of teamwork culture for new product development (NPD) success through enriching the NPD team's capability in Indian manufacturing industries. It accumulates the teamwork culture dynamics and practices, their interrelationships and their combined impact on NPD team's capability in terms of technological developments for NPD success. This practical analysis collects primary data from 263 design and development experts from Indian engineering manufacturing companies. Structural equation modeling (SEM) approach is applied to investigate the interrelationship among associated variables of teamwork culture and NPD team's capability for NPD success. Concurrent engineering team (CET), communication infrastructure (CI), system integration (SI) and result orientation (RO) have been recognized as allied factors of teamwork culture. Successful adoption of associated variables ensures NPD success through influencing NPD team's capability which in turn articulated by technological developments. The realization of combined impact of teamwork and its allied variables escalates technological developments which in turn enriches NPD team's capability assuring organizational success. The result indicates that both CI and SI support CET for accelerating NPD team's capability through technological developments. Besides, CET motivates innovation orientation most precisely referred as RO for escalating NPD team's capability through technological developments for innovation.

“…The study of a culture of innovation, therefore, supports this aim and may involve integrating the definitions of innovation and organizational culture. While it has not been the practice of most researchers to define culture of innovation in a systematic fashion through the integration of a formal definition of innovation with cultural domains, such as structure , support , risk , cohesiveness , and outcome orientation (Denison, ), authors have certainly canvassed these key domains indirectly, as well as those related to the strikingly similar topics of innovative culture, innovation capability, innovative capacity, innovation competence, innovation climate, and global innovation culture (e.g., Crossan & Apaydin, ; Hurley & Hult, ; Kleinschmidt, De Brentani, & Salomo, ; Panayides, ; Sarros, Cooper, & Santora, ; Shahin & Zeinali, ; Sun, Wong, Zhao, & Yam, ).…”

“…Most theorists and investigators have not defined innovation culture as an integrated construct, but have instead focused on describing the key dimensions or factors that contribute to an innovation culture. An example of this is Dobni (), who defined innovation culture as “a multi‐dimensional context which includes the intention to be innovative, the infrastructure to support innovation, operational level behaviors necessary to influence a market and value orientation, and the environment to implement innovation” (p. 540), a definition which has influenced and shaped the work of many other investigations (e.g., Humphreys, McAdam, & Leckey, ; Sharifirad & Ataei, ), as well as the four conceptual models of innovation described in the previous section (Crossan & Apaydin, ; Hurley & Hult, ; Rao & Weintraub, ; Sun et al, ). As interest in the culture of innovation in organizations has climbed, dozens of other voices have emerged to support or slightly modify existing notions of this multidimensional construct.…”

The ability for an organization to innovate has become one of the most important capabilities needed in the new knowledge economy. An organization's culture of innovation, in particular, predicts organizational innovativeness across multiple industries. While researchers have developed instruments to measure culture of innovation to inform organizational opportunities for improvement, few of these instruments have been validated or replicated beyond their initial use. The current article, which is part one of a two‐part investigation, employs confirmatory factor analytic methods to validate the factor structure of the six models defined in the Innovation Quotient instrument developed by Rao and Weintraub (2013) and assess the extent to which the models are reliable across organizational groups. While each model demonstrated adequate model fit, a lack of discriminant validity was identified for each model, as well as a lack of reliability across some organizational groups. Recommendations for model respecification are presented.
