Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract

The present article analyzes the contributions of individual competences to innovation management in two companies showing a strategic focus on innovation and that have competency management systems under implementation. In this research, data analysis relies on methodological triangulation, which combines the definition of theoretical concepts with the use of qualitative and quantitative methods. A literature review was conducted on the elements of individual competence and innovation management to guide the definition of research variables and the construction of a proposal for a comparative analysis between the two companies. The main evidences found in the literature review, case studies and surveys, highlight the importance of practices that stimulate the development and management of individual competences in improving business activities for innovation management. Based on the results of the study, it is possible to propose a taxonomy to integrate individual competences and innovation management that can be classified into three stages: Basic integration, Intermediate Integration and Full Integration.
