Abstract

Widespread agreement exists for the need to improve innovation in organizations. Despite significant steps forward, inefficiencies remain and little has been accomplished in understanding how innovation can overcome these. Current research focuses on organizational innovations. Here we focus on organizational innovations’ objectives and adoption. The analysis is based on a sample of 10,796 Spanish businesses. Measures of organizational innovations and innovation objectives are based on the Oslo Manual. Statistical tests find a dynamic behavior in organizations, since 41.5 % have accomplished some organizational innovation in the period 2007–2009. Results reveal the real relation between organizational innovation objectives and adoption, with improving innovation skills being the most influential organizational innovation objective.
