Abstract
Innovation is necessary for organizations to remain viable. As structure is one of the factors affecting innovation success, this case study aims to diagnose and redesign the innovation structure of a specific company. Innovation structure is incorporated into the organization structure and approached from a socio-technical design point of view. Deductive research enabled to diagnose the innovation structure and the presence of other success factors for innovations at the specific company. Empirical data provided insights into the current situation of the company and has been collected via semi-structured interviews and the analysis of documents. Results on the innovation structure revealed which MIOS-functions need to be redesigned as they were not formally allocated, not sufficiently performing or a combination of both. In addition, the results also provided insight into the currently missing success factors for innovations. Based on the comparison of theoretical insights with empirical results, it can be concluded that there is a “gap” between the current and desired situation regarding the innovation success of the company. Based on the diagnosis, recommendations are given. Combined, all the recommendations should lead to increased innovation success.
