“…Innovations are expected to contribute to established markets beyond existing conditions, or widen viewpoints towards potential markets (Gök, 2014). Customer experience is seen as the center of innovation (Harrington and Voehl, 2012). Gök (2014) studied innovative outputs in terms of need, technology and R&D, and market value indicators within the depth of innovative convergence and divergence.…”

“…Health Service Managers play a vital role in setting the vision and strategy that guides the structure, allocation of resources, design and culture of an organisation that are critical for innovation. [38] Identification of information, technology and communication systems that release health care professionals to perform their roles, provide time for thinking and creative problem solving and to provide the best possible care is necessary to identify and implement innovative ways of working. Health service managers can foster team building and use diversity within their organisations to solve the complex problems facing our health services.…”

Background: Innovation is associated with improvement, however, there is little published about the “ingredients” for successful innovation in healthcare, and the skills required of Health Service Managers (HSMs) who facilitate change in their organisations. Aim: This paper synthesizes the findings of a literature review performed to describe the organizational and contextual factors that enable and sustain innovation in healthcare settings. Implications for the practice of Health Service Management and curriculum development have been extrapolated as innovation has been identified as a solution to escalating health system demands in a rapidly changing environment.Approach: A literature review used a systematic approach to source articles from the Scopus and Emerald databases over the period of 1993 to February 2016. Papers were also retrieved from a BMC Health Services Research weekly alert. Snowballing from relevant articles identified additional and significant papers. Grey literature, peer-reviewed papers and reports were similarly reviewed to incorporate contemporary perspectives on this topic across the business, health and University sectors, and to facilitate discussion of the skills and competencies for HSMs practice and education in relation to this topic. Context: Innovation is crucial to the sustainability and viability of Australia’s world class health system. There is potential for innovation to lead to more cost-effective and efficient ways to address the challenges of limited health budgets and increasingly complex morbidities in an ageing population. Main findings: Successful innovation according to the literature, is determined by a complex interaction of determinants including organizational culture, support and resourcing for innovation, leadership and a clear and shared vision. An organizational culture supportive of innovation includes strong transdisciplinary communication, engaged and invested staff and recognition of the role of innovation in health improvement and outcomes. A setting that is open to identifying, testing and evaluating initiatives for innovation requires capabilities to establish and maintain the working relationships, team dynamics and to prioritise resourcing to facilitate and sustain new ways of working, services, products or technologies.Recent research on the skills required for health service management employability and career success was also examined and identified the importance of skills such as communication, creativity and problem solving. These skills are critical and linked to the role of the HSM in accelerating innovation in their organisations.Conclusions: The key ingredients for successful innovation in health were inferred from the literature. HSMs are well positioned to support innovation as they possess the necessary technical and professional skillsets. The literature suggests that the development of graduate skills in the areas of communication, problem solving, and team work is critical to meet industry needs and for HSMs to enable innovation.Universities educating health service managers strive to ensure that graduates are professionals equipped to lead and manage health services. HSM graduates can foster the organizational and contextual factors that sustain and sanction innovative ideas to flourish and progress to implementation. Current research advocates that strong industry and higher education collaboration is important to further develop the graduate attributes necessary for innovation.

ResumoO objetivo do estudo é evidenciar os principais conceitos e abordagens sobre inovação para identificar as características e enquadramentos teóricos pertinentes aos estudos sobre inovação em Bibliotecas como organizações predominantemente públicas e sem fins lucrativos. Justifica-se pelo reconhecimento da importância da inovação nas Bibliotecas e pela necessidade de fundamentação teórica para o desenvolvimento do tema no âmbito da gestão da inovação cuja concentração se dá predominantemente na indústria de manufatura e relacionada a produtos. Trata-se de um ensaio teórico, de natureza qualitativa, conceitual e analítica. Espera-se com os resultados deste estudo possam contribuir na fundamentação teórica para o desenvolvimento de estudos futuros sobre a inovação em Bibliotecas. Palavras-chave Biblioteconomia; Epistemologia em Ciência da Informação; Gestão da Informação; Gestão da Inovação; Inovação em Bibliotecas Conceptual Foundations for Innovation Management approaches in Libraries AbstractThe objective of this study is to highlight the key concepts and approaches to innovation. Identifying characteristics and relevant theoretical frameworks to future studies on innovation in libraries as organization predominantly public and nonprofit. The main justification by the recognition of the importance of innovation in libraries and need to theoretical basis for the issue of development in the innovation management occurs predominantly in the manufacturing industry and related products. This is a theoretical essay, qualitative, conceptual and analytical nature. It is hoped the results of this study can contribute to the theoretical basis for the development of future studies on innovation in libraries. Keywords Epistemology in Information Science; Information Management; Innovation in Libraries; Innovation Management; Librarianship IntroduçãoO atual ambiente econômico globalizado enseja, além da capacidade de adaptação e flexibilidade das organizações, o incremento de diferenciais que agreguem valor em produtos e ou serviços ofertados na percepção dos usuários.Estes desafios apontam as discussões para necessidade de inovar e de como promover ou potencializar a inovação. De acordo com Stefanovitz (2011, p.1), "esta questão exige um conhecimento profundo de como ocorre o processo de inovação. E é neste ponto que se iniciam as dificuldades conceituais e práticas".Com bibliotecas e unidades de informação sem fins lucrativos não é muito diferente. De acordo com Kostagiolas, Margiola e Avramidou (2011), estas organizações devem enfrentar as pressões econômicas e sociais, de forma que, neste contexto socioeconômico, seus serviços sejam geridos de forma a satisfazer as necessidades R E V I E W
