Innovation is widely regarded as the key driver of growth for businesses. However, the effective management of innovation remains a complex and challenging task. Despite the significant increase in publications on innovation over the past two decades, gaining a comprehensive understanding of its critical aspects remains a daunting challenge. While there has been a wealth of literature discussing the potential benefits of innovation, there is a clear lack of understanding of its potential drawbacks at the innovative firm level. This lack of awareness can lead to detrimental consequences, including reduced commitment to innovation, ineffective innovation strategies, organizational designs that hinder rather than promote innovation, and approaches to innovation that are either overly cautious or risk-averse.

To address these gaps, this book aims to explore the concept of innovation management and shed light on both the positive and negative aspects of innovation within innovative firms. By gaining a deeper understanding of the positive and negative effects of product and process innovation, we can expand the knowledge base on innovation management and empower managers to manage innovation more efficiently and effectively.

This book is designed to be valuable to a wide range of stakeholders, including researchers, academics, managers, and advanced students in the fields of management studies, strategy, and organizational studies. It provides a comprehensive and insightful examination of the challenges and opportunities associated with innovation, offering valuable insights and practical strategies for navigating the complex landscape of innovation management.
