Management of innovation in services
Article Abstract:
An analysis of the role of the development of innovation in the service industry reveals that most organizations do not have operations research budgets and that innovation comes as a result of search-and-learning processes. The study also reveals that R and D departments are likely to exist only in top-management levels of organizations and are based only on the generation and selection of ideas and not on scientific development. The innovation process in the service industry is found to have four stages, which includes generation of ideas, transformation into a innovation plan, development and implementation.
