Abstract

:
In order to establish an innovation culture, a set of organizational procedures and practices called “Innovation Management”, which may differ among companies, should be followed. At the enterprise level, systematic innovation management becomes more complicated. A number of works covering various aspects of this subject have been published. However, a systematic synthesis of all of these contributions is still lacking in management literature. In this review, we aim to analyze and classify the main contributions published on the topic of innovation management systems/standards in management literature, seeking to discover the gaps which still remain in the literature, and to outline future avenues of research in this domain. More than 70 articles in Innovation Management Systems/Standards (IMS/St) studies published in peer-reviewed journals during 2006–2020 are reviewed and analyzed systematically by searching the science databases ScienceDirect, Scopus and Emerald, etc., and using Google Scholar and Mendeley Elsevier to identify related terms. A complete and accurate view of the latest literature on IMS/St is provided, which identifies the main topics developed in the management literature on IMS/St, as well as significant gaps, and demonstrates the low maturity level of the current state of the field. This paper contributes theoretically to the development of literature on IMS/St and provides a clear understanding of the state of the field during the period 2006–2020, shedding light on the research needed in the future in this field of study. From a managerial perspective, it can help companies to better understand the implications of IMS/St, and to harvest the best benefits from the implementation of IMS/St. Our study also answers these three important questions: 1. What are the main topics developed in the management literature on IMS/St so far? 2. Are innovation management standards mature from a practical point of view? 3. What are the main research gaps in management literature, and how could future avenues of research be shaped?

1. Introduction

We can describe innovation as the development of new products or the significant improvement of new goods or services. It can also be defined as new marketing, organizational, or business strategies [1]. In the innovation management systems literature, innovation is commonly considered to be a fundamental dynamic of the enhancement of corporate competitiveness [2]. Perhaps for this reason, the innovation process is deemed an indispensable corporate process which has to be appropriately managed in order to foster business performance in the aspects of business profitability, productivity, quality of service, and customer and employee satisfaction [3], and to achieve a reasonable return on investment for the resources required by the these processes.
Standardized innovation management systems (SIMS) are homogeneous management systems which accelerate the conversion of an organization’s innovation strategy into effective actions [4,5]. Thus, SIMSs ensure that innovation means not mere shiny novel inventions, but rather an organization’s ability to recognize and pursue new areas of opportunity while reacting to fluctuating conditions in its environment [6]. In 2006, the Spanish Association for Standardization and Certification (AENOR) issued the Spanish UNE 166002: 2006, the first innovation management standard, as sets of principles intended to aid organizations in navigating the multifaceted process of innovation, schematizing their activities and improving management efficiency. In the same context, other countries have developed similar standards, such as the BS 7000-1: 2008 standard (BSI, 2008) in the UK (first edition in 1989), while some countries have amended the Spanish standards, such as Portugal (IQP, 2007), Mexico (NMX, 2008), Brazil (ABNT, 2011) and Denmark (Dansk Standard, 2010).
Two systematic literature reviews for innovation management systems were conducted. One analyzed 27 articles in order to build a tentative interpretative framework of innovation management systems which critically highlights and discusses their most common elements and aspects [7], and the other focused exclusively on models that graphically represent innovation management [8].
This paper offers theoretical contributions to the literature on, and provides for a clear understanding of, innovation management systems/standards (IMS/St) in the period 2006–2020, and guides researchers in this field of study by shedding light on the research needed in the future. From a managerial perspective, it could support companies in better understanding the implications and fields of application of IMS/St, and in developing a productive method to adopt one of these systems/standards. This study will answer these three main research questions:
MRQ1. What are the main topics developed in the management literature on IMS/St so far?
MRQ2. Have innovation management standards matured from a practical point of view?
MRQ3. What are the main research gaps in the management literature and how could future avenues of research could be shaped?

2. Methodology: Article Selection

Our approach to the literature review was designed to be organized, clear and reproducible [9]. The systematic literature review was conducted for the papers appeared between 1 November 2020 and 1 February 2021, and began with a search for peer-reviewed journal articles in scientific journal databases, as this review process is a tool for quality management that verifies the information presented by these articles [10].
We chose the Mendeley and Google Scholar search engines, as they are the main free tools for academic research that have expanded their research capabilities in recent years [11].
In searching and selecting the articles, five successive steps were followed:
  • As a first step, “Innovation Management” was searched as a keyword in the title, as is consistent with the current literature [9,12,13,14]; after combining the results from databases, 7476 outcomes were found.
  • In the second step, the number of articles was reduced to 599 after we applied three restrictions:
    • They should be peer-review published papers.
    • The papers should be written in English.
    • The publication dates should range from 2006 to 2020; 2006 is the year in which Spanish UNE 166002: 2006 standard was issued by the Spanish Association for Standardization and Certification, which was a major improvement in innovation management systems and standards. These characteristics excluded papers that may have had less scientific rigor, such as monographs, book chapters and other non-refereed journals.
  • In the third step, the sample was reduced to 431 titles after removing duplicates from the article list.
  • The fourth step, after having collected all of the results using reference management software, was to review all of the titles and abstracts in order to determine whether the basic relevance criteria were met [14,15], and then we excluded those beyond our context [12,16,17], i.e., articles not concerned with innovation management systems or standards were deemed irrelevant. As a result, 68 studies were accepted [18].
  • Finally, we manually resumed the search and tracked citations [14,16,19], which resulted in the addition of five more articles. In the end, samples of 73 publications were collected. Table 1 shows the above-mentioned steps, and Appendix A shows a list of the relevant papers.
The final sample was analyzed using an Excel datasheet [14], and the final database includes information such as the type of author (single author or collaboration), the type of paper (conceptual or empirical), the design, the type of research performed (survey, theoretical, data analysis), the applied methodology, and the key findings and contributions of each article.
After that, we pre-tested and shared the coding scheme with two field scholars in order to reach a consensus on the final information to be used. We synthesized the evidence, providing a clear perception of the status of the innovation management systems/standards literature. This systematic clustering process represents a consistent approach for future research.

3. Descriptive Results: Analysis

3.1. Analysis of the Article Years, Type, Effect and Recurrence

The database of the results allowed the extrapolation of some interesting information, even at a general level. First of all, the annual distribution of the articles reveals that the subject was of less importance before 2012; seven articles were published in 2012, and the article frequency peaked at 24 articles from 2015 to 2017, as shown in Figure 1.
In addition to the 57 other academic journals represented, the Journal of Engineering and Technology Management, Procedia: Social and Behavioral Sciences and Technovation are the most relevant journals which have published articles on this topic, with three articles each. In total, 32 articles were published in the journals with scores of more than 0.5 (impact factor 2019), as shown in Table 2.

3.2. Analysis of the Countries of Origin

The articles were created in a various geographical regions. As shown in Figure 2, 52% of the articles were from Europe, 10% were from Asia, 10% were from South America and 22% had no geographical identifications.
The highest proportion from any one country was from Spain, at 14%. This result maybe related to the fact that Spain was the first country to introduce innovation management standards (Spain 2006 UNE 166002:2006–R&D&I Management: Requirements of the R&D&I management system) [20].

4. Comprehensive Review of IMS/St

From the point view of the methodological approaches adopted in the papers, the 73 selected articles were classified into three different groups: Theoretical (group A), Experimental Qualitative (group B) and Experimental Quantitative (group C). The studies in group C were further divided into two subgroups: articles that investigated the ways in which innovation management systems/standards affect company performance (subgroup C1), and articles that analyzed innovation management standards and systems (subgroup C2). This classification will be used to identify the ways in which the papers contribute differently to the innovation management literature. In addition, we considered the key topics and subtopics studied and the models developed (if any) for each article.

4.1. Group A: Theoretical Studies

Articles discussing theoretical perspectives and expanding the use of theories are of great importance for the development of the academic debate (see Table 3). During our examination of the articles, we found that about half of them (13/24) relied on literature analysis as the main tool for research, and three of them relied on data analysis, whether expert review data [21,22] or empirical data [23], to verify their outputs. Only two articles used national data to verify the companies’ ability to face challenges through innovative management practices [24,25]. Four articles analyzed IMS/St innovation management standards by comparing them [26] or analyzing one of them in depth [27,28,29]. Only one article used a theoretical approach to develop an innovation management model, which the researchers called a “Cognitive Approach” [30].
Furthermore, 33% of these articles (eight articles) developed a new model, but five of them did not verify the outcomes [4,30,31,32,33], although each of them declared the unique characteristics for their models.
The innovation level in each sector in an organization can be identified at any time through an Innovation Management System Framework (e.g., [31,33]) that can create an environment in which innovation is a natural practice involving all of the stakeholders. Under challenging conditions of shifting resources in an innovative economy, Ref. [30]’s model may choose the company’s innovation development concept. Ref. [4] assumes that by using their framework, practitioners will be able to analyze their innovation management activities; recognize gaps, weaknesses, or defects; improve future extraction areas where innovation is only nominally adopted in their processes; and specify the areas in which interest and resources may be concentrated. Ref. [32] illustrates an approach that incorporates good and relevant techniques in the following management areas: (a) strategic management, (b) project management, (c) innovation models and methods, (d) innovation management standards, (e) knowledge management and (f) financial management.
Refs. [21,22] validated their models by having them reviewed by experts and senior managers. Ref. [22] shows that their Corporate Innovation Management Business Model encourages a company to recognize concepts, activities, or projects, eventually helping them to achieve market success. However, Ref. [21] illustrates, in their model, that customers and individuals can play a major role in the innovation process; in this model, Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 technologies are important enablers. Only [23] used experimental data to validate the model, of which the implementation in business reality has process-oriented implications.

4.2. Group B: Experimental Qualitative Studies

By using single-case or multi-case research methods, we collected 29 qualitative articles (see Table 4), three of which analyzed big data to validate their claims. Ref. [44] analyzed the data of 730 European companies to affirm that the spread of the UNE 166,002 Innovation Management Standard followed the logical S-shaped curve of the internationalization model. In order to recognize “Trust” as the prevalent sentiment associated with innovation, and given the increasing relevance of emerging technologies in the company’s innovative activities and the declining of old technologies, Ref. [45] used data from 243 Spanish companies. Ref. [46] used samples of 460 Colombian companies, and found that it is possible to process innovation management and quality management in parallel and to promote each of them without harming the other. Ref. [47] used a sample of 122 Romanian companies and concluded that an Innovation Management System affects the company’s ability and understanding of innovation actions positively, and increases the innovation quality, which directly affects the organization’s business performance. Ref. [48] concluded—on the basis of 24 samples and one case study—that there is no direct correlation between the implementation of an innovative management system and increasing the competitiveness of construction companies, and that this may be due to the fact that these processes were in the early stages of implementation when conducting the research.
We also found that 34.4% of this group’s articles developed and verified a new model with specific added value. Ref. [49] developed a model which encourages the utilization and exploration methods from the front end of the innovation process in order for them to be shared at the same stage of implementation, and continues to create a shared understanding of the vision and the use information and resources. The model of [50] improved the incremental and radical product and process innovations resulting from consumer demands, market pull and technology push activities in the company. Complicated recent situations of management systems inside companies [51] facilitated the integration of an innovation management system in the complicated system by developing a new approach, and to solve the same complex issues in companies, the model of [52] created a community of learning as a space for innovation within the organization.
Technology, marketing and innovation management could be integrated, as [53] suggested in their model. Ref. [54]’s model was built on the concept of stakeholders combined with knowledge mining. For managers to innovate systematically, Ref. [55]’s model provided guidelines, which were verified by three years of observation in a Spanish company. Ref. [56]’s model facilitated decision-making in innovative sustainable process design and enabled development teams to identify their own most useful standards, required gateways and key goals. Ref. [57]’s model was the most appropriate for high-tech enterprises, because it encourages market-oriented cooperation along the industrial chain. Ref. [25] used their model to consider and integrate the degrees of innovation (incremental and radical).
The impact of IMS/ST on companies’ performances was analyzed in three articles. The findings of the case studies conducted by [28,58,59,60,61] were that innovation management techniques could be used to plan the activities and affect the company’s performance positively. They further demonstrated that IMS/St is consistent with ISO 9001, and with maintaining, developing, and innovating R&D&I research. Ref. [62] analyzed and improved organizational culture and human resource management to establish more fertile ground for an innovation environment, which reflects more on the structure and practice of dealing with innovation problems every day [63]. However, Ref. [61] believed that the effectiveness of a self-certification program relies on the company’s ability to manage processes, provided that internally guided motivation is established and the top management’s firm commitment is ensured.
In studies of this group, various fields were studied, i.e., services [64], communications, construction, industry, nanotechnology [62], education [60], labs [65], mobile industry [66], aerospace [58] and countries (Peru, Colombia, Spain, France, etc.). Just one study examined the main innovation challenges of managing uncertainty and risk, and the difficulty of cross-functional coordination [67].

4.3. Group C: Experimental Quantitative Studies

As mentioned earlier, the Experimental Quantitative Studies were divided into two subgroups. In Group C1, articles investigating the ways in which the innovation management system/standards affect company performance, we studied the papers in which one or more directions of the company’s performance were the focus. Operational procedures for product innovation performance meeting the unidimensionality, reliability, and validity criteria were proposed by [68], and these procedures were validated by structural equation models in 253 French biotech manufacturing companies. The research concluded that the impact of IMS on the company’s performance was directly analyzed in seven of these articles [2,20,69,70,71,72,73]. Ref. [71] linked the main components of the innovation process with growth success, and this finding was confirmed in six companies. From a sample of 763 companies, Ref. [69] found that innovation is poorly related to company sales, although administrative innovation, rather than technological innovation, has become the most important innovation element impacting sales.
In that same context, Ref. [72] argued that excellent company performance may be due to organizational innovation and technical skills in products and processes. Ref. [20] used a sample of 1000 companies to demonstrate that Innovation Management Standards have a strong positive relationship with a company’s Innovation Capability (IC) and Business Performance (BP), while [73] concluded—from a sample of 3668—that management innovation positively affects company performance in the form of subsequent productivity growth.
As mentioned above, except for [69], which pointed out that there is a poor link between IMS and sales, all of them showed that IMS has a positive impact on company performance. The impact of IMS on Innovation Performance was examined by four studies [70,74,75,76], but after evaluating five certified and four non-certified companies, it was found that commercialization and diffusion for product/service and innovation achievements benefit even more from the reinforcement of a formal innovation management system when the IMS organizational strategy of innovation is applied. Concerning the predictive factors of the company’s innovation performance, Ref. [70] studied a sample of 566 companies and found that using IMTs in the companies could create these factors, particularly when considering incremental innovation results. Furthermore, the use of innovation management technology has a major impact on the performance of incremental and radical innovation, as radical and incremental innovation contributes to innovation performance [75]. Therefore, all types of innovation and their benefits will also be helped by the implementation of SIMS [76]. Ref. [70] mentioned that when a company has not yet reached a reasonable size but is willing to certify IMS, this often overloads it.
Further details of all of these studies are shown in Table 5.
When reviewing the articles in Group C2, i.e., articles researching IM standards and systems, we found that [77] claimed that the innovation management standard Cen/TS 16,555 is ineffective, mainly due to the lack of consensus among European countries. Ref. [78] found that when agendas and methods are standardized, the management innovation process within the organizations may have a significant effect. In other words, the more standardized the company innovation processes are, the more incremental innovations take place in the organization, rather than more exploratory and revolutionary changes.
The primary innovation capabilities (innovation skills, information security, management and performance evaluation) and the significance of company management in the field of innovation in the public service sector were identified by [79] after examining a survey with a sample of 321 articles. However, Ref. [80] found that understanding innovation strategies, encouraging management, risk tolerance culture, and autonomy are also valuable innovation management tools.
Ref. [81] discussed four key reflections for the assessment of organizational innovation: the complexity of the organizational innovation, the life cycle of the organizational innovation, the extent of the use of the organizational innovation, and the quality of the organizational innovation.
Concerning Dual Innovation Management Systems, which consist of two innovation management systems, one for processing current business areas and the other for the development of new business areas, Ref. [82] identified this concept and found that CTOs who effectively implement dual innovation management actively strive to obtain technical information and information about their companies’ social environment. Ref. [83] examined the role of management innovation in achieving technological process innovation, and explained the interlinkages of the two innovation types over time. Management innovation theory is expanded by conceptualizing management innovation in an inter-organizational environment. Refs. [79,84] developed their innovation management frameworks through questionnaires, but neither of their models were verified.
Further details of all of these studies are shown in Table 6.

5. Discussion

The first research question put forward in the introduction of the paper was the following: MRQ1—What are the main topics developed in management literature on IMS/St so far? As shown in Table 7, of the 73 quantitative articles found, 50 studied innovation management systems as the mainstream of innovation management, and eight articles studied innovation management systems’ impact on innovation performance.
The standardization process is essential, as it provides common language, terminology, credibility, facilitated implementation, and a benchmarking basis [85]. Unifying these characteristics supports the adoption of IMS/St all over the world; as such, in Table 8, we classified the “Innovation Management Standards” articles into three sub-groups (compatibility, impact on companies, standard analysis).
As to MRQ2—Are innovation management standards mature from practical point of view, as shown in the literature?—as shown in Table 7, only 15 articles studied innovation management standards, and this may be due to the relative newness of the standards or because they have not been widely disseminated globally, particularly because the ISO 56,000 series had only recently been released by the time of writing this article.
Standards analysis was mentioned twice, as [44] dealt with the predicted prevalence curve of the UNE166002 Innovation Management Standard, and [26] compared two IMSs—the Spanish UNE 166002: 2006 and the UK BS 7000-1: 2008—to improve the actions taken to create IMS in the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), which, as [77] found in their research, was ineffective. As shown in Table 8 above, there were seven articles analyzing the impact of IMS/St implementation on the enterprises, and explaining the ways in which the implementation of IMS/St can encourage innovation, improve procedures [28], and promote various types of innovation and outcomes [76]. From another point of view, IMS/St implementation can broaden innovation capabilities and encourage value creation through innovation activities [2,59], eventually creating more value for the organization and its stakeholders [27]. Researchers found that “trust” is the predominant value associated with innovation among stakeholders [45]. The positive effect of implementing IMS/St on innovation and marketing performance was also validated [61].
Regarding compliance with ISO 9001, several articles concluded that IMS/St is consistent with this standard, and that they can be processed in parallel and reinforce each other [46,62]. In the context of the education sector, Ref. [60] found that IMS/St could be used to organize higher education level activities, and could have a significant effect on students’ learning and achievements. However, in the context of the high-tech sector, Ref. [57] studied a telecommunications company in China and concluded that three main elements should be prioritized in IMS/St: “Strategic innovation plan, Internal R&D practices and External cooperative innovation”, in addition to considering the intellectual property management, market focus and cooperation on the industrial chain. Furthermore, theoretical research has shown that companies which implement innovation activities while following IMS technical specifications can combine the “Knowledge Triangle” and “Quadruple Helix” approaches in order to keep from isolating themselves [43]. In addition to the above, the fact that a relatively large number of articles (23) suggest new innovation management models and a relatively small number of articles discuss IMS/St shows the low maturity level of the IMS/St.
This leaves MRQ3—What are the main research gaps in management literature and how could future avenues of research be shaped?—to be addressed. Apart from the gaps and future avenues of research which emerged from answering the previous research questions, some other areas in the IMS/St domain are of particular interest from a management point of view. In particular:
  • IMS/St needs to be studied in relation to the added values which have been mentioned for each of the new models above, in order to validate whether IMS/St (specially ISO 56000) covers each of them, and if not, to find the needed improvements for IMS/St to fulfill the needs of companies for these added values. The conformity of IMS/St with various sectors of services and industry could also be a very interesting topic for further investigation.
  • Various management standards (environmental management standards, sustainability management standards, social responsibility management standards, quality management standards, etc.) have been adopted in companies. The method of the adoption of IMS/St needs to be clearly studied in order to make the adoption process successful, and to reduce opportunities for conflict between these management standards and IMS/St.
  • More standard analysis of the present IMSts is still needed.
  • A comparative study on IMS/St standards is still needed in order to find the strengths and weaknesses of each of them (although one paper [26] considered here did address this issue). This provides a good opportunity to develop IMS/St standards.
  • The impact of IMS/St on each type of innovation still needs more research in order to give better understanding of it.
  • The impact of IMS/St on innovation performance should be tested and evaluated in different sectors.
  • The connection between IMS/St and value creation should be investigated.
  • The impact of IMS/St on the performance of companies in detail and overall, also deserves more attention, as the impact of IMS/St is linked to the readiness of companies to invest real money in the implementation of IMS/St.

6. Conclusions

This systematic literature review provides good reasons to believe that Innovation Management Systems/Standards (IMS/St) have not been thoroughly discussed, especially regarding their impact on innovation performance and companies’ overall performance. This literature review used a well-structured and replicable methodology to find the main gaps in this research field, providing a better understanding of the directions and dimensions of the literature, and insight for future directions.
The main gaps are the lack of research in the following domains:
(a)
The methods of the parallel implementation of IMS/St and other management systems.
(b)
The impact of IMS/St on each factor of the companies’ performance.
(c)
The analysis of the IMSts.
(d)
The impact of IMS/St on each type of innovation.
(e)
The empirical study of the IMS/St in different sectors (services, industry, etc.).
Moreover, this paper contributes to the IMS/St arena from a theoretical point of view in two major ways.
(a)
Previous reviews of the literature have been updated and extended, even if this is the first review of the IMS/St literature.
(b)
It provides recommendations for future paths of research for IMS/St domains.
Apart from the above-mentioned theoretical contributions, this paper also provides some managerial implications that could help firms to put it into practice. The literature shows that IMS/St can boost various types of innovation, and that it can increase innovation capabilities and value creation through innovation activities, thus eventually creating more value for the organization. Managers can also benefit from the implementation of IMS/St on innovation and marketing performance, which has been validated in the literature. These could be useful to managers who intend to adopt IMS/St, and could support them in better understanding the implications and fields of application of IMS/St, and in developing a productive method to adopt one of these systems/standards.
