Abstract
Innovation is highly sought by organisations and is one of the key factors in boosting effectiveness, performance, and sustainability across businesses, both in commercial and defence contexts. Absence of innovation can affect organisations in a number of ways, including the wasting of opportunities for greater operational effectiveness and improvement of internal processes, with a negative impact on the motivation of human resources, the main repositories of knowledge, values, and organisational culture. Innovative organisations generate a strong sense of belonging across their ranks and convey an image of effectiveness and fulfilment. The objective of this text is to analyse the fundamental tenets and trends in organizing for innovation through a fundamental literature review and critical analysis. The results characterise and update an overview of current thought on the subject of organizing for innovation, encompassing culture, processes, and leadership towards a higher innovation maturity level within organisations, and providing guidelines.
