Abstract

This study assesses progress in innovation and knowledge management research during 1980–2014, using a sample of “highly cited” journal publications. The assessment reveals a transformation in research from incremental to transformative innovation. The study discusses the nature of this transformation and outlines a future research agenda for the development of better research design and new competencies in theory and practice.
