Developing Strategic Innovation Capability of Enterprises. Theoretical and Methodological Outlines of Intervention

摘要

The research focuses on the question of the theoretical and methodological basis on which it is possible and sensible to approach and analyse the potentials and limitations of innovation and the development of the innovation capability in the specific context of communities of practice and situated action and decision-making. What kind of basic theoretical assumptions, basic concepts and methodological solutions are possible and sensible as a starting point in analysing the potentials and limitations of innovation and the development of innovation capability in the specific context of practical activities and decision-making. The key conclusion of the publication is that the self-referential, autopoietic and paradoxical nature of organisations, enterprises and practical operations in general must be taken seriously in research and development. The solutions proposed by Jan-Peter Vos are on that remarkably promising. The solutions and models developed by Jan-Peter Vos also offer an applicable and viable basis for the development of the strategic innovation capability of enterprises.
