This paper has dealt extensively in understanding the two modes of governance that of organic and mechanistic and their interplaying role in shaping the ultimate innovative activity. The review has been extensive including papers from 1952 to 1997 with a concluding paragraph consisting of a brief summary, and some discussions of the review. From 1996 to 2010, a new trend to differentiate innovation has come, namely aspects like 'exploitative innovations'; 'exploratory innovations' etc. are extensively dealt with in innovation literature which in turn gives rise to new organisational structures. This paper has also included those papers from 1995 to 2010 which deals with these new categorisation, new dimensions of innovation which were previously unexplored.
