Abstract: The purpose of this conceptual paper is to reveal how organising can enable innovation across organisational layers and organisational units. This approach calls for a cross-disciplinary literature review. The aim is to provide an integrated understanding of innovation in an organisational approach. The findings reveal a continuous organising process between individual/team creativity and organisational structures/control to enable innovation at firm level. Organising provides a dynamic approach and contains the integrated reconstruction of creativity, structures and boundaries for enhanced balance of explorative and exploitative learning in uncertain environments. Shedding light on the cross-disciplinary theories to organise innovation provides a contribution at the firm level to enable innovation.

Keywords: innovation enablers; organisational creativity; organisational learning; ambidexterity; exploration; exploitation; performance control; cross-disciplinary literature review; individual creativity; team creativity; organisational structures; organisational control; uncertainty.
