Acceleration of training management innovation process: Conceptual approach on theorization and labeling

Management innovations need to be progressive because they evolve into legitimate management. A company becomes adaptable if it develops updated management practices that increase cross boundary learning, breakthrough ideas, and greater degree of customization and standardization. The purpose of the study is to investigate the management innovation process and explain the slow development of management innovations into legitimate management practices. Literature review suggests that the lack of well-developed theorization and labeling was a gap in the management innovation process, along with the lack of empirical observations to validate a management innovation process. Specifically, the study examines the institutional and individual factors in the training management innovation process and determines how the individual factors mediates the influence of institutional factors on theorization and labeling. Managers can use the conceptual framework for business practices. I also propose a case study research design and qualitative research methods on how the study can be realized.
