| Summary: | This conceptual paper contributes to understanding of individual innovation competence by providing a comprehensive view of the concept, integrating different theories from innovation management into one model and linking it to the theory from studies of competence. It is filling the gap in existing innovation management theory where most researchers focus only on specific dimension of innovation competence. The integrated model of innovation competence shows how individuals need to combine different knowledge, personality traits, functional and interactive skills to demonstrate innovative behavior in practice. There is a certain ambidexterity in the elements of innovation competence that enables individual to move between exploration and generation of ideas on one hand, and promotion and implementation of ideas on the other. The model can be used both in recruiting innovative talent, developing innovation as a core competence among employees, and forming innovative teams. |
