Abstract

Innovation represents a major strategic element, critical to the development of the company. Management has to routinely evaluate company's capability with respect to innovation. Even if innovation systems adopted by enterprises are specific, a methodology for measuring the innovative process is warranted. In this paper we propose an evaluation methodology regardless of the industry specifics. It is based on an innovative pilot model, which contains 13 practices, developed in our laboratory. In this paper, a comparison is presented between an in-house methodology called IPI (Innovation Potentiality Index) and two multiple criteria methods (Electre and AHP) to measure the innovation process capacity of companies. IPI defined their strong and weak points regarding to several indicators. The result of our research leads to an evaluation tool allowing both a local and global comparison between companies issued from the same industrial field or not.
