“…The emergence of the new category of environmental push has become clear. The literature on innovation traditionally highlights market pull or technology push as drivers of innovation (LAZERTE, 1989;CARAYANNIS, 2014) . However, the COVID-19 pandemic has put on the agenda an extreme situation that had little to do with technological developments or greater consumer awareness of environmental issues.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to identify the best practices and challenges of innovation management in large companies in Brazil. Theoretical framework: This paper draws upon recent literature on open innovation, with particular attention to communication processes and challenges. The research adopts Chesbrough´s open innovation (OI) definition and develops its argument from Mortara and Minshall´s proposal of OI high-level trends (CHESBROUGH; VANHAVERBEKE; WEST, 2006; MORTARA; MINSHAL, 2017). Design/methodology/approach: The researchers conducted qualitative research of eleven interviews with innovation leaders of big multinational companies. The corpus was submitted to a framework analysis, which allowed for identifying 63 emerging themes, structured in a thematic framework that supported the interpretation procedure. Findings: Key findings include the development of five emerging categories of management types, innovation drivers, and communicational dimensions. Research, Practical & Social implications: The research draws attention to the impact of complexification in open innovation strategies, and the need for new models of governance, communicative functions, and innovation drivers. Originality/value: The results support the emerging, but yet scarce, literature on open innovation in Brazil, and identify key challenges and emerging practices among Brazilian managers in large companies.

“…Innovations can arise from a pull-market relationship, that is, from market demand, or from a push-technology relationship driven by a new technology that is introduced to the market (LaZerte, 1989). In this case, the innovator pursues the intention of satisfying previously latent customer needs with a new idea.…”

“…In this context, entrepreneurship is related to the willingness to invest in innovations. 86 Thus, different factors, such as market-pull and technology-push (LaZerte, 1989), must be considered. Belda and Cabrer-Borrás (2018) have confirmed Le Breton-Miller et al's (2004) observation that there is a higher probability of survival among companies that push technologies compared to those that react to the market.…”

The thesis “Family Business Succession and Its Impact on Change Management” aims to discover whether business succession and the business transition accompanying it has an impact on the implementation and management of change in family firms. It focuses on medium-sized family businesses in the wholesale building materials and home improvement retail industry in Germany. Although there is a plenty of research into the two study fields—change management and family business succession—research into the combination of both topics, especially the impact of one on the other, is rather limited. Therefore, this thesis aims to contribute to theory by reducing the gap in research into the combination of the two study areas. Furthermore, it addresses additional research needs and aims to enlighten the research gap by providing ideas with additional research needs. Especially in family businesses, business transition and internal changes are significant due to high failure rates in family business successions. Change management, however, is mainly connected throughout the research to changes resulting from changing markets and changing customer demands. Nevertheless, external change also requires internal adaptation in companies. With a focus on the wholesale building materials and home improvement retail industry in Germany, interviews are conducted with family business successors and predecessors concerning the business succession process and the implementation of change within the company over the period of the succession process. General ideas and findings from the data collection section are cross-checked with existing literature for the two fields individually first. Then, the results are merged in a chapter about the impact of business succession on change management in the final part of this research. The research results show that a differentiation between propensity towards change implementation and the actual change implementation must be made. There is a higher propensity towards change implementation among family business successors. Thus, the actual change implementation and the success of implementing change is furthermore dependent on other variables, such as employee base and culture, the predecessor’s and successor’s visions and ideas, financial aspects, and the successor’s human capital.
