- Description
- Innovation champions are likely to enhance organisational innovative capacity through the use of selling and influence techniques, idea generation and exploration activities, networking behaviours and political skill. Research to date however has not explored innovation champions within social enterprises. This article seeks to address this shortfall by presenting a literature review which explores several features of social enterprises and the implications for innovation champions. Research is currently being conducted which will empirically investigate the propositions presented in this article.
