| Tiivistelmä: | The ability to generate successful new products is vital for organizations to adapt to changing markets, technologies and competition. But many large, established organizations find sustained innovation difficult. This study explores the role of power to show how it can both inhibit and facilitate innovation. Analyis by Cynthia Hardy and Deborah Dougherty shows that when organizational power is aligned with innovation, innovators can draw on the organization's competencies to develop viable new products. However, when organizational power is aligned against innovation, innovators cannot access these competencies, and must, instead, focus on protecting their new ideas from the anti- innovative context. They explore these implications by drawing on a study of 40 new products in fifteen firms. |
