The objective of this paper is to contribute to a perspective on economic performance;
i.e. the interaction between norms specific to a company, the knowledge basis of
the company and innovation.
The main questions in this article are: What is the connection between norms specific
to the company, the knowledge basis of the company and innovation? The main thesis
in the article is that a companys capabilities are primarily developed on the basis
of social norms and values already existing in the social relations of the company.
This in turn influences how the
company develops and applies the knowledge basis, thus influencing innovation strategies.

The present paper lists the management constraints that impact on innovation in business
firms. Some of these constraints may thwart innovation, or make it slower, others
may accelate the process or increase the number of innovations in the firm, others
still may influence the nature of the innovations which the firm will endeavour.
Only management constraints are considered here, i.e those constraints pertaining
to the interface between intention and really implemented action, as well as those
influencing the intention in a partially predictible manner. The related interfaces
may be formalized (e.g. management tools and methods like the business plan), they
may be partially or totally informal (e.g. the power system, or the innovation process
itself). It may be that some of, or all the actors in the innovation do not perceive,
or perceive with a bias, the
very existence of the constraint, i.e. of the link it has with innovation.
The first part of the paper is devoted to the constraints that impinge upon senior
managers, lower level managers and others involved in the innovation process (paragraphs
1 and 2). The constraints are then viewed from an organizational standpoint (what
they are in different types of organizational structures, what is the contribution
of different organizational vital systems), and through models of the innovation
process produced by empirically valid organization research (paragraphs 3 and 4).
The paper ends with some considerations on the origin of innovative ideas and on
the usefulness of constraints for innovation.

It has been assumed by design professionals and educators that designers are innovators
or at least contribute to innovation, indeed there have been numerous studies linking
design to creativity and innovation. Often design is linked to intangible as well
as tangible values in product success but do we know exactly how; what models exist;
and how do designers really provide real value to the organisation and indeed to
the supply chain? These are the questions that this current research study has been
addressing in the UK.
