A key challenge for many organizations is the design and adoption of a mode of organizing that encourages innovation and creativity, allows flexibility and agility to respond in a timely manner to changes in the environment, and facilitates integration and coordination both internally, between functions and divisions, and externally, with users, suppliers, and universities, for example. The findings of studies since the 1960s provide us with a great deal of guidance as to the nature of the modes of organizing that can either encourage or hinder innovation and creativity within organizations and teams. What emerges from these insights is the importance and interrelatedness of leadership, organizational structure and culture, and the innovation process itself, to the successful management of innovation. These themes are explored.
