Innovations in Organizations

Abstract

Studies of organizational innovativeness have not managed to find a magic formula for implementing change and yet they have shown that some organizations are more innovative and embrace change quicker than others. Many studies have focused on the leadership roles rather than the end-users, with the result that the studies tended not to provide true representations of organizational behavior. Some studies have suggested that larger organizations are more innovative, 1 but this was long before the free and low-cost tools that social technologies provide came along. It is now far easier for small organizations to embrace social technologies with low risks, given that little investment is required to start using them and they often, by their nature, allow the smaller organization to tap into a far wider talent pool through crowdsourcing than ever before. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
