Abstract
Organizational innovation can suggest innovations in processes, products, services and management. This study discusses innovation management from an entrepreneurial perspective, and as a support for organizational development. The economic strength, quality of life and competitiveness of an organization in a globalized world are directly linked to issues surrounding entrepreneurship and innovation management. In most organizations there is a strong tendency to acquire new technologies and continuous process improvement. On the other hand, due importance is not given to people, i.e. the individuals primarily responsible for entrepreneurial and innovative initiatives. This is a literature review with emphasis on a systematic review, which comprised a large number of papers on innovation in processes, products and services. Concerning people management, however, there were very few papers. At a corporate level, innovation management may seem very complex, because it is usually found with technical barriers that may increase costs. Based on entrepreneurship concepts, we suggest organizational management geared to people capable of developing competitive advantage.
