Chapter Chapter 8 in Managerial Decision Making, 2020, pp 155-179 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Utilizing a system of holistic thinking, this chapter, which is mainly based on (Forrest et al. 2018), identifies the primary factors that contribute to the innovativeness of a manufacturing firm and distinguishes the secondary factors which follow the primary ones. These primary factors are discerned out of the 20 plus internal factors that are recognized in the empirical literature. The impact of the general characteristics of firms’ culture on innovation in manufacturing is studied, based on general organizational culture. This chapter utilizes a cost-benefit analysis approach to identify the impact that firms’ general attributes have on innovation. Analyzing the systemic modelling of firms, the impact of firms’ structure on innovation is recognized. In particular, the impact of leadership at the firm level on innovation is demonstrated. Finally, pragmatic recommendations for effective managerial decision-making are presented.
