Abstract

This paper presents the interaction of different systemic elements in innovation activities in complex business portfolios. The interaction of innovation and portfolio transformation is highlighted based on two empirical case studies. Systemic challenges with different drivers and external impacts are presented. The managerial implication is to focus on dynamism present in continuous change. This study contributes to innovation and portfolio business literature by creating a linkage between the two fields of study and by making the multiple interlinked systems visible. This paper extends the innovation discussion towards portfolio businesses.
