Innovation represents a source of growth and profitability for
firms in today's globalizing competitive environment. In
particular, radical innovations are gaining in importance for large
established companies as they can be considered a source of
organizational rejuvenation. Some large companies organize for
radical innovations by establishing dedicated organizational
structures. The present study provides a common basis for these
activities drawing upon research in the field of radical innovation
management and corporate entrepreneurship, which are integrated in
a new definitional framework of “New Business Creation” (NBC). In
six in-depth case studies and a cross-case analysis, Theo Fowinkel
explores the management of human resources in NBC as the
commitment, enthusiasm and self-motivation of employees
significantly affect the development of radical innovation.
