Answer to Question 2

Motivation to innovate: Individuals must be motivated to be creative; organizational innovation requires that organizations have the kinds of cultures that encourage innovation. Resources to innovate: People must have certain skills to be creative; organizations must possess certain basic human and financial resources to make innovation possible. Skills to manage innovation: Individuals must hone their creative skills; organizations must develop special ways of managing people to encourage innovation. Managers can promote innovation by a balanced approach to goals, reward systems, and time pressure.
