Revisiting Rogers: the diffusion of his innovation development process as a normative framework for innovation managers, students and scholars

Innovation has evolved into a core management function for most organizations. Business managers, regardless of sector or firm size, now require an understanding of and practice with the innovation process in order to develop a competence with navigating its winding path. To effectively engage in innovation processes, individuals require a distinct set of knowledge, aptitude and skills, or key innovative competencies. This paper examines a broad multidisciplinary literature focused on how innovation happens and the normative elements of its process, to inform key innovative competencies across its many phases. Through document analysis, empirically-based innovation process theories and models are examined with the intent to discover and propose a normative framework. The literature review provides a broad classification of innovation process descriptions and phases reflecting Everett Rogers' original innovation-development process (IDP). Rogers' IDP is proposed as a normative framework from which individual innovative competencies are identified and classified. Both the framework and typology are proposed as guides for innovation process understanding, participation and management. For innovation researchers and educators, this article suggests an innovation process normative framework may act as a recipe for further research on innovative competencies and innovation management pedagogical models.
Competence to Innovate?
Jari Jussila
Innovation competence has become a key interest in many organizations. Yet there is confusion in the concepts related to innovation competence. To be able to evaluate innovation competence concepts and structure are needed. Concept analytical method was used to discover the concepts that deal with innovation competence. As a result of the literature survey a novel ontology of innovation competences was introduced.

In search of entrepreneurial competencies: Peripheral vision and multidisciplinary inspiration
andrew penaluna
This paper returns to the question of whether business schools alone can meet the challenges of enhancing creativity and innovation in entrepreneurial education. Policy makers have side-stepped definitional argumentation in order to embrace a more nuanced potential for entrepreneurial competency development, using multidisciplinary practice in learning and assessment that can be found beyond business and management discourse. Insights from other disciplines can be missed as different terminologies and definitions apply. Design education is inherently multidisciplinary and has been instrumental in facilitating significant policy-level changes. To delve more deeply into this phenomenon, the authors illustrate what actually happens in a classroom in which business and design intersect. Neuroscience research into the learning brain informs learning, teaching and assessment related to creativity, visioning and dealing with ambiguity – through the progressive development of flexibility an...
Disentangling competences: Interrelationships on creativity,innovation and entrepreneurship
Mónica Edwards Schachter, Nabil Amara
Creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship are recognized as crucial to foster anentrepreneurial culture, but their relationships from the competence-based approach arenot yet sufficiently understood. This paper contributes to the ongoing debate on the natureof entrepreneurial competences critically analyzing the theoretical underpinnings to suchinterrelationships. Our literature review informs that the focus, core assumptions andeducational approaches to entrepreneurial competences and the role of creativity andinnovation may vary substantially depending on which educational paradigm is consid-ered (educating ‘for’, ‘about’ and ‘through’ entrepreneurship). We present arguments onthe adequacy of Social Cognitive Theory and Social Constructivism to explain the develop-ment of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship (CIE) as a meta-competence. In thisframework we undertake a preliminary empirical approximation to the area under studyexploring how engineering students from two different socio-cultural contexts, Spain andUSA, perceive CIE relationships and to what extent they believe they are developed by theeducation system. Empirical findings show that most students see themselves as creativepeople and consider that creativity is strongly related to innovation and entrepreneurship,being more convinced American than Spanish students on the relevance of creativity amongentrepreneurs’ competences. Moreover, their perceptions contrast with the role assignedto education, where they consider that creativity is still a pending subject in engineeringeducation.

Innovation and Creativity as the ‘Nucleus’ of Entrepreneurship

Science and Education Development Institute (SEDInst)
This paper lucidly presents why creativity and technological innovation is considered as a major force in the field of entrepreneurship and the fulcrum of economic growth. It also focuses on some of the most distinctive features of innovation. The psychological study of creativity is essential to human progress. If strides are to be made in the sciences, humanities, and arts, we must arrive at a far more detailed understanding of the creative process, its antecedents, and its inhibitors. One of today's primary management challenges is the development of organizational cultures that value innovation, change, and creativity. The adoption of an ethic of innovativeness allows the organization to stretch the limits of individual and collective knowledge, skill, and ability to meet complex consumer needs. Creativity within organizations is influenced by management practices in conjunction with creativity-relevant work group skills.
