“…While psychological approaches of innovation leadership tend to concentrate on the interaction between leaders and followers on the one hand, and the relation between leadership and organizational aspects (such as culture) on the other (Amabile et al 1996;Basu and Green 1997;Jassawalla and Sashittal 2002;Lee 2008;Sarros et al 2008), the present study focusses on the behaviour of the project leaders of innovation projects. The interest lies in what project leaders do with regard to the innovation that occupies a central place in the execution of their project.…”

The purpose of this conceptual article is to demonstrate that Donald Schön's Reflective Practitioner actually outlines an explicit model of the steps that project leaders in practice apply largely unaware. This reflective research model furthermore can be meaningfully combined with Argyris and Schön's model of organizational learning. The combined research and learning model can support project team members and leaders to enhance their reflectiveness and improve their project success. Eighteen project leaders of innovation teams were studied by means of in-depth interviews aimed at assessing how project leaders act when dealing with critical incidents during their projects. Based on a selection of three project leaders, an empirical illustration of Schön's model is provided: they recognized there was a problem, researched the problem, developed alternative solutions, tested different solutions and alternatives on validity, tried out and experimented with solutions, selected and applied a particular solution, and evaluated the process completed. The authors' suggestion for practitioners is applying the combined model of the reflective practitioner and organizational learning, as this can help innovation leadership in practice at both the individual and the team level. The scientific value of this contribution lies in the conversion of Schön's latent (tacit) model into a manifest (explicit) model, and by relating it to the model of organizational learning, a result emerges that is both applicable to future research and practice.

“…A cultura empreendedora define-se, então, pela sua capacidade de inovar constantemente (JASSAWALLA;SASHITTAL, 2002). A literatura sobre inovação apresenta diversas conotações para o termo: tanto pode referirse aos resultados obtidos de um processo inovador ou ao próprio processo (DRUCKER, 2005).…”

ResumoEste estudo trata do Corporate Entrepreneurship, expressão que se refere às empresas capazes de estimular a iniciativa de seus funcionários, de forma que eles proponham novas ideias, novos negócios ou serviços e novos processos. A cultura organizacional, definida pelo caráter coletivo e pelos elementos que a constituem, é um fenômeno sujeito a influências sócio-culturais e históricas, o que implica considerar a existência de um componente nacional. Este trabalho analisou a Cultura Comercial do Grupo Algar à luz do conceito de Corporate Entrepreneurship, com o objetivo de identificar a presença das dimensões da cultura nacional. Utilizou-se da pesquisa documental, com a análise de documentos, impressos e eletrônicos, publicados com a finalidade de disseminar o conceito de Cultura Comercial. Os resultados apontam para uma convergência entre os conceitos de Cultura Comercial e Cultura Empreendedora; entretanto, isso não ocorre no que diz respeito às dimensões da cultura nacional.Palavras-chave: Cultura organizacional. Intraempreendedorismo. Inovação.

In addition, positive organizational culture also promotes creativity, cooperation, collaboration and risk taking within the organization (Jassawalla & Sashittal, 2002).…”

Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) in Malaysia are recognized as the core of new innovation development. This paper empirically studies one of IHLs in Malaysia with the objectives to gauge the perceived important level of success factors for innovation management, and to examine the relationship between innovation management success factors versus innovation performance. Descriptive statistical analysis and Pearson correlation test are used to validate the preliminary research framework. Finding from the study presents an interesting managerial implication where success factor that perceived as the most important is not strongly correlated with innovation performance. Suggestions to enhance the innovation performance are proposed, which comprising securement of greater research funding, expanding number and scope of collaboration or cooperation with external parties as well as continuously upgrading and enhancing the level of expertise. Finally, a revised framework of innovation performance management for Research University is proposed bases on literature review and complemented by the result of this study.
