Keywords

Abstract

Innovation may involve new design and production of a product or improvement of existing products and services of an organization. A major element for measuring organizational strength is its perception of innovation and its ability to build on and sustain such strength. While there is no shortage of research and study materials on innovation, there is shortage of thorough analysis of the intersection of innovation management and measurement of innovation within the systems engineering context of defense organizations. Moreover, while most research studies seem to adopt strictly quantitative innovation factors in determining innovation success, the qualitative side is overlooked. An objective of this research study was to address the need for exploring the innovation environment within the systems engineering context of a defense organization. In addition, the research presented a new model for exploring innovation factors using a number of data collection instruments to gather such data. The study identified significant factors that could be used to determine innovation within the specific environment. New indicators such as security and organizational leadership are discovered as important to define, monitor, and assess the innovation of the defense industry within the context of systems engineering.
