Literature on organizational innovativeness seems to measure innovativeness based on: adoption of innovation; creation of innovation; combination of both adoption and creation. I have decided to proceed with the creation perspective. This perspective has measured innovativeness through Input approach, output approach and combination of both. Some research has synthesized input approach as innovation capacity or innovation capability. Output approach has been considered as performance of innovation process. whereas, mixed approach has been criticized. I have created a framework considering I'm aiming to measure from the beginning to the end (Input -Process-Output) to measure actual innovativeness level by calculating composite score (diagram attached here).
I would like to get your advice on it.

I think there is room to explore how organizational culture can influence innovation.
Do you know the Google project "Aristotele"?
Google found out, that innovation in teams, and also financial success depends on how safe people feel in their teams, how predictable their work situation is, how much impact they have and the meaning of their work. They even developed a questionnaire with 7 items to measure this safety
As a work psychologist I found the approach and the results quite reasonable.
For details see

Further I would recommend the results of Frey & Osterloh: "Managing Motivation". Basically they recommend to introduce a bottom-up innovation program (Betriebliches Vorschlagswesen) to keep employees motivated in their work and to share adequately the financial success of even small innovations, which help to improve the whole business.
Kaukab Abid Azhar culture does influence innovation, but do you think measuring only cultural perspective will determine overall innovativeness of a company?

Siribuppa U-tantada Read your article, it was informative and interesting.
Do you think all the dimension should be incorporated while measuring organizational innovativeness (six strategic marketing attributes ) or only innovation?
As I have seen on various articles, it is up to what your reason or angle you would like to study which are based on literature reviews. Thanks

You may want to look at this comprehensive view of Innovation, incorporating all the elements that you referred to above and more.

In addition to the above, if your objective is to measure the "innovation orientation or bias" of an organisation, you may want to look at the "Exploration Vs Exploitation" framework.

Kheepe Moremi Thank you for your advice. I went through those articles and they were very informative.
Exploration vs Exploitation could be part of innovation process as innovation is as much about knowledge creation as knowledge exploitation. What do you think
Jaydip Datta Thanks for your advice.
what if the industry is technology industry where good manufacturing practice and good laboratory practice don't apply?
Based on a discussion that i remember with Professor Laszlo Polos on the same, the success of innovation is random, as the majority of new innovative products just fail. One way to measure it is to calculate the share (%) of innovative products out of the total new products by the organization. Then, to measure the survival rate (how many of them have survived) after one year, for instance or a certain time.
In the practical life, taking the telecom industry as an example, you will find some research companies such as Global Data tracks the innovative products that are being launched by every telco operator through a certain criteria and review the scores every 6 months.
