Abstract

Abstract The latest studies are focused on innovation. Both theory and practice are based on concepts as: innovation, innovative persons or organizations, innovation potential, innovation capability, innovation audit and innovation management. The effort of a firm to gain a certain competitive advantage implies to be capable to innovate; the organization has to offer an adequate framework for development and valorisation of the employees' creative initiatives. The innovation capability of a firm depends on the ability of the managers to identify specific factors that work on it and finding out the way they act. Based on the results of a preliminary investigation regarding other complex tools used in the innovation management, the authors are proposing a model of analysis and improvement of the firm’s innovation capability.
