The unique pace of today’s
globalization process, with a huge impact on
innovation, has attracted much attention in recent
years. Literature show that Research and
Development plays a vital role in innovation since
it functions as the technological ‘gatekeeper’ in
organizations. Many studies show a considerable
relationship between innovation and R&D
activities. Innovation needs competent leadership
to make it happen. However, there are limited and
disjointed studies on innovation leadership
competencies and in the available body of
knowledge, the importance appears to be
discipline rather than a broad review of the core
competencies required for innovativeness. This
article proposes a human resource competency
structure for organizational innovation leadership
derived from research in engineering-based
Research and Development institutions in
Tanzania. The structure includes human resource
competencies identified in a core sample of
leaders whose leadership resulted in the
successful technology adaptation or
development, and the adoption of these by
intended recipients in public applications,
commercial and non-commercial. The study
proposes a competence structure which may
become a model through further research.
Beneficiaries from this study, include innovation
leaders, trainers of innovation leadership and the
authorities who appoint innovation leaders. |
