- Badania empiryczne potwierdziły istnienie pozytywnych relacji między realizacją działań innowacyjnych a przyszłymi wynikami organizacji. Firmy wykorzystują zasoby i możliwości do opracowywania innowacji w postaci nowych produktów, usług lub procesów. Niektóre firmy okazują się lepsze w odtworzeniu sukcesu innowacyjnego niż inne, a zdolność do tego określana jest jako zdolność do innowacji. Jednak termin ten nie jest jednoznacznie traktowany w literaturze. Istnieje kilka różnych definicji pojęcia, a rozróżnienie między zdolnościami innowacyjnymi a innymi rodzajami zdolności, takimi jak zdolności dynamiczne, nie zostało jednoznacznie określone, ani też zależności między tym pojęciem a innymi koncepcjami opartymi na zasobach i zdolnościach w teorii strategii. Chociaż zdolność do innowacji jest coraz bardziej identyfikowana jako kluczowa dla trwałej konkurencyjności przedsiębiorstwa we współczesnych, niestabilnych i złożonych rynkach, związek strategia - innowacje jest słabo rozwinięty w prowadzonych badaniach. Aby przezwyciężyć to wyzwanie, niniejszy artykuł podnosi następujące pytanie badawcze: Jaki rodzaj zdolności innowacyjnych jest potrzebny do pomyślnego wprowadzenia innowacji? Biorąc pod uwagę istniejące badania wybraliśmy konceptualny projekt badawczy po to, aby odpowiedzieć na nasze pytanie badawcze. W artykule uwzględniono ramy pojęciowe, aby omówić, jakie zdolności innowacyjne firmy muszą posiadać, aby odtworzyć sukces innowacyjny. Biorąc pod uwagę dokładne zbadanie obecnej literatury dotyczącej zdolności innowacyjnych oraz powiązania strategia-innowacje, sugerujemy, aby zdolności innowacyjne rozpatrywać w dwóch wymiarach - innowacyjności i cech rynkowych. Te ramy umożliwiają identyfikację czterech różnych kontekstów zdolności innowacyjnych w matrycy dwa na dwa. Omawiamy rodzaje innowacji, które są niezbędne w czterech różnych kontekstach. Te nowe ramy przyczyniają się do zrozumienia powiązania strategiczno-innowacyjnego, a także wyjaśniają pojęcie zdolności w literaturze strategicznej i ustanawia związek między tymi strukturami a teorią zarządzania innowacjami.

Empirical research has confirmed that a positive relationship exists between the implementation of innovation activities and the future performance of organizations. Firms utilize resources and capabilities to develop innovations in the form of new products, services or processes. Some firms prove to be better at reproducing innovation success than others, and the capacity to do so is referred to as innovation capability. However, the term innovation capability is ambiguously treated in extant literature. There are several different definitions of the concept and the distinction between innovation capabilities and other types of capabilities, such as dynamic capabilities, is neither explicitly stated, nor is the relationship between the concept and other resource- and capability-based concepts within strategy theory established. Although innovation is increasingly identified as crucial for a firm's sustainable competitiveness in contemporary volatile and complex markets, the strategy-innovation link is underdeveloped in extant research. To overcome this challenge this paper raises the following research question: What type of innovation capabilities are required to innovate successfully? Due to the status of the extant research, we chose a conceptual research design to answer our research question and the paper contributes with a conceptual framework to discuss what innovation capabilities firms need to reproduce innovation success. Based on careful examination of current literature on innovation capability specifically, and the strategy-innovation link in general, we suggest that innovation capability must be viewed along two dimensions - innovation novelty and market characteristics. This framework enables the identification of four different contexts for innovation capabilities in a two-by-two matrix. We discuss the types of innovation capabilities necessary within the four different contexts. This novel framework contributes to the understanding of the strategy-innovation link as well as clarifies the conceptual understanding of capabilities within the strategy literature and establishes the relationship between these structures and innovation management theory.
