Abstract

Gegenstand dieser Studie ist die Analyse der spezifischen Innovationsstrategien von zwei Kleinunternehmen mittels der Fallstudienmethodik. Beide Fallstudien beschreiben Unternehmen, die als „good practice-Beispiele“ zu werten sind. Die Fallstudien basieren auf qualitativen Interviews und einer interpretativen Analyse der Interviewtexte. Im Mittelpunkte steht die Rekonstruktion der spezifischen Innovationslogik und -dynamik des jeweiligen Unternehmens. Die vergleichende Analyse der Fälle zeigt Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede. In beiden Unternehmen wird einerseits die Kreativität der MitarbeiterInnen mit wirtschaftlichen und marktlichen Entwicklungen kombiniert und nutzbar gemacht. Andererseits ist in einem Unternehmen eine ausgeprägte Produktspezialisierung beobachtbar, während im zweiten Unternehmen eine „trend scout“ Funktion für die Innovationsdynamik verantwortlich ist. / This paper analyzes specific innovation strategies of small businesses in two qualitative case studies. Both cases can be described as „good practices“. The case studies are based on qualitative interviews and interpretive analyses. A comparative analysis shows similarities in innovation dynamics, as both companies combine employees' creativity with economic and social market developments. In one case a high product/service specialization is observable, whereas in the other case a „trend scout“ function is utilized to maintain the innovation dynamics.
