“…These different interpretations give different schools of economics the opportunity to formulate their own theory of innovation (for example the institutional, the evolutionary, and the neoclassical economics also highlights other aspects). Kotsemir and Abroskin (2013) conclude that almost all definitions of innovation are related to novelty, change, and efficiency. On the other hand, it is a special economic concept that, paradoxically, cannot be given a precise, comprehensive, general definition, such as the economic concepts of inflation, depreciation, or debt.…”

“…If we highlight parts of the innovation process, we also find dozens of types (for example application, platform, or integration innovation). A typology can also be formed on the basis of what are the results of innovation, such as cost reduction, market leadership, improvement of company operations, and possibly the renewal and repositioning of the company in the value chain towards higher added value (Kotsemir & Abroskin, 2013). In terms of the method, stakeholder, result, goal, and even source of innovation, as well as many other viewpoints, many definitions can be created, guided by the aspect and context to be highlighted and examined by the researcher.…”

The overall aim of the study is to create the theoretical model of spatial production for innovation, which provides a measurement basis for later research as well as providing a measurement framework for the territorial indexation of innovation. In addition, it raises the question of what factors can hinder and which can help the formation and development of the spatial production of innovation. In the context of the above, based on a chronological, multidimensional review and analysis of literature research, it summarizes and presents the possibilities of interpreting the concept of innovation, paying attention to its territorial aspects. The model presented in our study builds on the literature on the external–internal divisions of innovation barriers, but also differs in that the model simultaneously displays the socio-economic space (innovation ecosystem), the regional scales as well as time. Presenting the typological barriers to innovation and summarizing the related factors, as well as developing a model to measure the issue, can help by specifically promoting the development of regions with less innovation capacity and potential in this field, at the same time providing a basis for assessing the territorial aspects of the phenomenon, which may also support the creation of development programmes to support the resolution of territorial disparities.

“…Lambooij and Hummel (2013) points out that adoption of an innovation is experienced when an actor start to use or implement an innovation, a view shared by Heunks (1998) who described innovation as the successful technical and economic implementation of an idea. The goal of innovation therefore is value addition and having positive impact on the operation and development of organizations and may include only the changes that have favorable consequences for organizations (Kotsemir & Abroskin, 2013).…”

Influence of Perceived Employees’ Pressure on Innovation in the Tea Subsector in Kenya

A major constraint in decision making in a firm is the power of environmental elements. The power of the dominant coalition in an organization determines the course of strategic action. The dominant coalition can be viewed as a key stakeholder group who greatly influences decisions of a firm. A firm's strategy therefore can be said to be influenced by stakeholder pressure. Stakeholders are known to disagree on the relative importance of innovations and may therefore use their resources to influence other stakeholders and resort to politics and power to affect implementation processes. The different positions of stakeholders and the associated differences in priorities and interests are likely to affect stages of the implementation process of innovation from the first stage of experiencing and defining a problem to looking for solutions. Tea industry in Kenya has identified a type of process innovation which is comparatively cheaper i.e. mechanical tea harvesting technology yet the perplexing thing is that the uptake of this technology is low despite its cost advantages. This study therefore provided an opportunity to empirically test the theoretical basis of this contradiction. It sought to establish the influence of perceived stakeholder pressure of employees' stake holder group on innovation with regards to adoption of mechanical tea harvesting technology. The study employed diagnostic survey research design. The target population was all tea plantation firms in Kenya. The respondents were the managers in charge of these business units. A census enquiry was used due the small nature of the target population. Data collection was done using a semi-structured questionnaire that targeted both qualitative and quantitative data. Data processing and analysis employed both descriptive and inferential statistics which included correlation and logistic regression analysis. The results of the study showed that perceived employees' pressure influence on innovation was negatively significant at 5% level of significance with beta coefficient and p value being -1.463 and 0.016 respectively. The goodness of fit based on Nagelkerke R square of the individual models was 0.248 the findings suggest that the employee stakeholder group is important in the tea subsector in Kenya with regard to firm's decision to pursue innovation as perceived by managers in the industry. The findings are in consonance with expectation from both theory and past empirical research therefore further firming up underlying theories. Based on the findings, it is recommended that those firms wishing to successfully pursue innovation in mechanical tea harvesting technology must engage constructively with employees in order to get full benefits of the innovation.

“…Though the term innovation is used widely by policymakers, marketing specialists, business sector, and curriculum developers, it is sometimes applied as a metaphor, political promise, slogan or a buzzword rather than a scientific concept (Kotsemir et al, 2013). Premised on this it is necessary in teacher education curriculum innovation implementation to understand the nexus or connection between innovation and industrialisation, so that the goal of industrialisation is pursued aligned to the mandate of the institution.…”

Higher and tertiary education graduates in any country should possess job – relevant knowledge and skills to meet needs of industry. Consistent with this, the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Science, and Technology Development of Zimbabwe, adopted Education 5.0, comprising five components: teaching, research, community service, innovation, and industrialization. This case study sought to explore the understanding by science and mathematics teacher educators of Education 5.0 curriculum innovation implementation at 3 teachers’ colleges in Zimbabwe. Science and mathematics teacher educators, purposively sampled participated in focus group discussions. To gain insight on Education 5.0 curriculum innovation implementation, policy documents were analyzed. Emergent themes were interpreted, guided by the interpretivist paradigm, which acknowledges multiple realities. Findings show that science and mathematics teacher educators were positive that Education 5.0 curriculum innovation implementation would cause socio – economic development. However, diverse interpretations of the Education 5.0 curriculum innovation seemed to threaten successful implementation. Therefore, curriculum innovation developers should ensure that implementers understand the envisaged innovation implementation to counter the adverse effects of diverse ontologies. Also, conditions should be conducive to successful curriculum innovation implementation.
