The three sets of variables that have been found to stimulate innovation are an organization's structure, culture, and human resource practices.
Structural variables: Research into the effect of structural variables on innovation shows that organic structures positively influence innovation. Also, the easy availability of plentiful resources provides a key building block for innovation. Third, frequent inter-unit communication helps break down barriers to innovation.
Cultural variables: Innovative organizations tend to have similar cultures. They encourage experimentation, reward both successes and failures, have few rules, tolerate risks, conflict, and impracticalities, provide lots of positive feedback, and tend to focus on ends rather than means.
Human resource variables: Within the human resource category, innovative organizations actively promote the training and development of their members so that their knowledge remains current, offer their employees high job security to reduce the fear of getting fired for making mistakes, and encourage individuals to become "champions" of change.
