Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
Although less prominent in the studies related to the national indicators of innovation and innovative activities, organizational innovation began to receive attention from researchers due to its contribution to the development of other types of innovations. Significant changes in philosophy and management principles, organizational structures and policies, practices, processes and techniques management have been implemented by organizations seeking a new competitive level. Considering the importance of such innovations for competitiveness and the new challenges in organizations, this article aims (1) to discuss the main theoretical and conceptual approaches on organizational innovation, and (2) to analyze the evolution of indicators from Brazil (PINTEC) and Portugal (CIS) in national surveys regarding this type of innovation. The conclusions point out the differences in the results of both surveys, which reflect the realities of Brazilian and Portuguese organizations, and the possibilities for future research to understanding the new challenges to management.
