The innovation process from an idea to a final product: a review of the literature
by Minisha Gupta
International Journal of Comparative Management (IJCM), Vol. 1, No. 4, 2018

Abstract: Innovation has been previously explored by academic scholars and organisations to identify its determinants, characteristics and has often ended in producing incompatible results. This paper advocates the research on innovation by systematically developing a structure of innovation process. The study has been incorporated by the underlying theories, types, processes, antecedent and contextual factors, and sources of innovation process. The conceptual developments, generation and adoption processes, antecedents, and influences of innovation on organisations have been explained thoroughly in the study. Previous research work has been aligned with either one of two components of innovation process. However, this paper discusses each and every part of innovation process to combine them in a single framework and discusses their contribution in generating diversified outputs. By developing an understanding of innovation as a process, this paper aims to complement existing theories of innovation to further extend and advance theory and research on innovation process and outcome in organisations.
