Innovation and Organizational Trajectories

摘要：

The multiple-case study research in three industrial companies about organizational changing, comparing cases of lean production system implementation, revealed a suggested interpretation of the determinants and directions of organizational innovation.The model tries to account for both continuous changes and discontinuities in organizational innovation. Continuous changes are related to secondary innovation, which doesnt break an organizational paradigm, while discontinuities are associated with a new trajectory, since a primary innovation adopted by the whole organization, including changes in technological management.The greatest difference found in the companies for innovative diffusion process, was the aspect of spread the organizational principles or simply management tools.
