Abstract: This study involved a series of case studies that were combined with an extensive literature review to frame and construct a large-scale survey, measuring systematic innovation capability, and innovation performance (IP). Previous literature is quite fragmented with little inherent cohesion. Relatively few truly holistic studies have been done, especially in a large-scale multi-industry context. The case studies and structural equation modelling (SEM) in the present study validated important predictor variables of IP, including leadership and innovation strategy, customer focus and innovation process management, culture and human resources management, knowledge and technology management. The SEM determined that systematic innovation capability is a valid concept and can be measured as such, relating strongly to IP and business performance. Based on deep case studies and our large sample, innovation capability was demonstrated to be a holistic concept comprising a number of core elements that act together to strongly determine performance outcomes.
