Abstract
This article describes three efforts to design research on aspects of innovation in organization, along with the theoretical and empirical assumptions behind them. Each study occupies a different, progressively more macro-oriented tier in terms of level of analysis—from the innovation project as the unit, to the organization, to the extraorganizational environment.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
