Innovation and the Dynamics of Capability Accumulation in Project-based Organisations

چکیده
Project-based firms face particular difficulties in managing innovation. This paper builds on the literature on concepts of project-based organisations to develop an approach to innovation management linking work acquisition, execution and learning. The conceptual framework is expressed in diagrammatic form, providing a succinct representation of the complex relationships and a starting point for analysis of the opportunities and challenges facing the management of project-based organisations, including those impeding success, in particular the role of time pressures. The analysis helps to elucidate findings from prior in-depth studies of a large number of engineering and design firms. The paper also provides pointers for future research.
