Innovation process models
| Model | Author | Characteristics | Dimension, process, phase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Technological innovation process | Utterback (1971) | Survival and expansion of the business competitiveness | Acknowledging the need Proposal Analysis, definition of goals and development Implementation |
| Innovation funnel | Clark and Wheelwright (1992) | Based on the principle of filtering ideas in order to select the best ones; such ideas are later translated into products that meet the market’s needs | Idea creation Definition of the project and selection Implementation |
| Stage-gate | Cooper (1993) | It is necessary to understand that technological innovation is a process focused on the development of new products | Idea; preliminary investigation Business plan Development Testing, validation and production |
| Advanced and high-performance innovation model | Jonash and Sommerlatte (2001) | This model is based on two principles: systemic innovation, competencies and technology through platforms. It presents four dimensions, from which innovation emerges, and a fifth, related to the learning capacity | Innovation strategy Innovation process Innovation resources Organization of innovation Learning |
| Emerging routines to manage disruptive innovation | Tidd et al., (2001) | Innovation is a generic process associated with survival and growth, composed of three phases. The effective innovation management assumes a good performance in four aspects | Innovation process: search, selection and implementation (permeated by learning) Strategy Organizational context Support Implementation mechanisms External relationship |
| Open innovation funnel | Chesbrough (2003) | To add value to the organization through multiple ways to see opportunities in the current or in new businesses | Gathering ideas is susceptible to inputs at any point: idea creation, internal development, acquisition of licenses, scale up products, etc. |
| Innovation value chain | Birkinshaw (2017) | Innovation as an integrated flow: from the creation of ideas toward the market entry. This approach enables the identification of challenges in the inactive process | Innovation process: idea creation, conversion and diffusion |
| Design thinking | Brown (2008) | Based on empathy, integrating thinking, experimentation, optimism and collaboration | Immersion (understanding and observation); ideation; prototyping; development |
| Pentathlon | Goffin and Mitchell (2005) | To boost the organizational innovation strategy | Creation of ideas; prioritization and selection; implementation; innovation strategy; people; organization |
