By giving a definition of "innovation" and explaining its requirements, forms, stages and types, it is then possible to explore the drivers and environments that can either stimulate or discourage innovation and the role of management therein.
On the basis of the model of the seven C's, various triggers for encouraging innovation are discussed. Reasons for failure are explored on the basis of internal and external factors. The management of a company or organisation plays a key role in these processes.
