Innovation Culture

When an organisational culture or climate encourages the employees' innovation capacity, tolerates risk, and supports personal growth and development, the organisational culture may be labeled as an ‘innovation culture’. Source: Martín-de Castro, G. et al., 2013. The moderating role of innovation culture in the relationship between knowledge assets and product innovation

Innovation culture refers to the shared common values, beliefs and assumptions of organisational members that could facilitate the product innovation process. Source: Jassowalia, A.R. & Soshittal, H.C. 2002, Cultures that support product innovation processes.

Innovation Artifacts

Innovation-oriented cultural artifacts are stories, rituals, events, physical constructions, and graphical representations.

These artifacts transform innovation-oriented values and norms into visible and tangible symbols, providing a physical representation of what is important to the firm and facilitating employees’ interpretations of the firm’s innovation efforts.
