• Idea Management: "development of organization-specific methods for managing idea generation processes."
• Product Development Management: "realization of ideas in the form of commercial products and technologies."
• Environmental Innovation Management: "scanning the environment to forecast future innovations and threats."
• Enterprise-wide Innovation Management: "creation of an organizational culture that stimulates creative thinking."
• Innovation Life Cycle Management: coordinating innovation across the lifecycle and managing innovation metrics and incentives
