The one the company itself can generate – SCHOOL OF KNOWLEDGE

Tacit and explicit

2-PROJECTSMobilize knowledge and positive emotions in a single goal.

Providing interconnection between areas, hierarchical levels and the triangle suppliers - production / research - customers.

The balance between disciplinary area differentiation and their integration into projects optimizes results.

2-SHORT-TERM CROSS PROJECTS

3-MANAGEMENT

The company "does not allow" managers to be of a less quality, "forcing" everyone to submit to its dynamic.

The innovative attitude as part of the routine work.

3- LEADERSHIP

Management has to be close to the collaborators, developing initiatives that will increase their satisfaction and commitment.

In order to innovate, people need to work harder and better.

4-OPERATIONAL LEVELS (middle managers and shop floor)

“Taking bottlenecks away”

The necessary internal stability to make the necessary changes is not resistance to change but part of the innovation process.

4- WORKERS’ COUNCILS

The existence of representative bodies, who negotiate directly with management, helps to create goals for the organizational base.

4- START UPS AND SPIN OFFS

Innovation through Start-Ups, or Spin-Offs, is NOT a universal principle

5 - R&D

Innovation achieved in R & D centers, may have a secondary character as to innovation originated in production.

5 - CLUSTERS

Company clusters as innovation chains

6 -ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
