Innovation management in the aeronautical sector: the 5F3D model

Abstract
The aeronautical sector is one of the most innovative sectors
internationally due to the rigorous levels of safety and quality
required of aircrafts. However, we currently have limited knowledge of how firms develop the innovation management processes. The present study proposes an innovation model to
evaluate how the innovation is strategically managed through factors and determinants that enable the innovation processes in an
aeronautical firm. Based on a case study to a relevant firm in the
aeronautical sector, the results show the validity of the proposed
model and evaluate the efficiency and robustness of the innovation management process in the aeronautical firm by means of
the definition of three indexes. An index of innovation indicates
the development of the innovation management process of the
analyzed firm. A second index measures the maturity of the determinants that enables the innovation in the firm, and a third index
measures the level of global maturity of the innovation process.
