Abstract: Successful companies consider innovation as a manageable process that can lead to new idea generation and consequently result in significant benefits. For this reason, many researchers have proposed frameworks that help companies become more innovative in a systematic and perennial way. In this paper, we present the unified collaborative innovation framework (UCIF), a novel framework with many innovative features such as an environment-stimulated process and a multi-dimensional perspective. UCIF encompasses knowledge management activities and concepts as integral parts of innovation, and adopts an open and participatory approach to innovation. Furthermore, we present the findings of a literature review for innovation frameworks, along with a comparative analysis.

Keywords: innovation management; knowledge management; KM; collaborative innovation; participatory innovation; unified frameworks; collaborative frameworks; innovation frameworks; idea generation; innovative companies; systematic approaches; perennial approaches; environment-stimulated processes; multi-dimensional perspectives; open innovation; literature reviews; comparative analyses; learning; intellectual capital.
