A Study of Innovative Behavior in High Technology Product Development Organizations

Originally published in 1999, this volume integrates several streams of research on the antecedents of innovation to test a model of individual innovative behavior in a high technology product development organization. The sample for this research was a group of Engineers, Designers and Lab Technicians employed in an engineering department responsible for the development of high technology products. Structural equation modeling techniques and multiple linear regression were used to evaluate the research.
