Abstract

Specialet undersøger, hvordan både små og store virksomheder arbejder med innovation, med særligt fokus på, hvordan "innovationsforbindelser" i virksomhedens værdisystem påvirker innovationsaktiviteten. Innovationsforbindelser forstås som de relationer og kanaler, som en virksomhed bruger på tværs af sit værdisystem til at omsætte ideer til nye produkter, tjenester eller processer. Undersøgelsen ser på, hvordan disse forbindelser anvendes i praksis, og hvordan brugen kan variere mellem små og store virksomheder.

This thesis examines how both small and large firms undertake innovation, with particular focus on how the "innovation linkages" in a firm's value system shape innovation activity. Innovation linkages are understood as the relationships and channels a company uses across its value system to turn ideas into new products, services, or processes. The study looks at how these linkages are used in practice and how their use may vary between smaller and larger firms.
