Tiivistelmä
The importance of innovation management has been growing, because of faster introduction of new technology, domestic and international competition, changing government regulations, and rapidly shifting market conditions change the way we do business.
The purpose of this thesis is to discover how organisations can use innovations as their key renewal process. There is no simple answer how to do this and there is no out of the box solution that works for everyone. The objective is to generate a framework that can be applied to most of the organizations and to find out how software tools can support the innovation process.
In this thesis a study on innovation management literature was used to create an innovation process framework with five sub-process. Also a case study on implementing innovation software in Company X was conducted to find out in what aspects can innovation software support the innovation process and the overall innovation maturity level of the organization.
