experience, while probably qualifying him to discuss innovation, does not necessarily
qualify him to discuss entrepreneurship. Quinn’s [1985] (18) article in the Harvard
Business Review ‘Managing innovation: Controlled chaos ’ does bring innovation back
into the discipline. While not having high gravitas, Quinn’s article also introduces a
different orientation of corporate innovation which is continued by Burgelman and Sayres
[1986] (20) with ‘Inside corporate innovation’ and Bantel and Jackson’s [1989] (16) article
‘Top management and innovations in banking: Does the composition of the top team make
a difference’ which harks back to McClelland’s [1965] article on entrepreneurial positions.
Burgelman later int rod uces a new ontology, that of corpor ate entrepreneurship, that is
discussed in section 4.3.6.1.
4.3.5.04 Published in Research Policy, Teece’s [1986] (29) article ‘Profiting from
technological innovation: Implications for integration, collaboration and public policy’
writes from a policy perspective on innovation as a business strategy rather than
management strategy. The article also questions why some business firms who innovate
often fail to gain full benefits from such innovation, such benefits accrue to firms with
‘complementary assets’. In a variation on the innovation sub-aliran, the concepts of
‘innovating nations’ are also discussed by Teece, later followed by: Lundvall [1992] (17)
in 1992 with the lowly ranked text ‘National systems of inno vation: Towards a theory of
innovation and interactive learning’; Nelson [1993] (23) with ‘National inno vation
systems: A comparative analysis’; and Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff [2000] (19) with ‘The
dynamics of innovation: From national systems and ‘mode 2’ to a triple helix of
university-industry-government relations’. The concept of innovation having an ethnic or
national orientation was continued with Nonaka and Takeuchi’s [1995] (25) ‘The
knowledge-creating company: How Japanese companies create the dynamics of
innovation’.
4.3.5.05 The fairly narrow ‘sources of innovation’ orientation discussed by Teece is
further discussed by von Hippe l [1998] (18) in the text ‘Sources of innovation’ by looking
at functional sources of innovation and suggesting that innovations may in fact or igina te
from a wide range of diversified sources. This places a different perspective on that
