Abstract

” Innovation Management is a complex task that requires improved
methods to support the exploration of multiple innovation dimensions. We
suggest firms to adopt a language inspired approach in order to improve
existing methods. The language approach is supported by a graphical
innovation profile that maps the innovation features and choices. The
paper demonstrates the applications and perspectives of this approach
with reference to a qualitative case study.”
