(*)The innovating organization is one that recognizes and formalizes the roles, processes, rewards, and people practices that naturally lead to innovations. According to Galbraith (1982), an organization that purposely designs these roles and processes is more likely to generate innovations than is an organization that doesn't plan for this function. Such a purposely designed organization is needed to overcome the obstacles to innovation. Because innovation is destructive to many established groups, it will be resisted. Innovation is contrary to operations and will be ignored. These and other obstacles are more likely to be overcome if the organization is designed specifically to innovate.
A consistent set of policies concerning structure, process, rewards, and people are needed to accomplish the goal of creating an innovating organization that will work. In fact, it is the combination of idea people, reservations in which they can operate, sponsors to supervise them, funding for their ideas, and rewards for their success that increase the odds in favor of innovation.
This course will therefore provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of both the fundamental elements of organizational design and the basics of innovating. By combining these two fields, the objective is to help students understand how an organization can be structured and led in order to motivate idea people that create innovations.
