Abstract
In this article, we first present a brief overview of the historical evolution of global innovation in multinational firms. We then outline four components and challenges facing firms that are evolving towards global innovation. Next, we focus on the beginning and end phases of the innovation process: their inception and their diffusion. We show that the stakes related to inception tend to sustain internationalization but induce ever more complex innovation diffusion. In the conclusion, we present open issues and questions that merit further attention and research by the academic community working at the intersection of innovation management and international management.
Résumé
Dans cet article, nous commençons par présenter un bref aperçu de l'évolution historique de l'innovation à l’échelle internationale dans les multinationales. Nous présentons ensuite les défis auxquels sont confrontées ces multinationales lorsqu’elles développent des innovations. Ensuite, nous nous concentrons sur les phases de début et de fin du processus d'innovation : la création et la diffusion. Nous montrons que les enjeux liés à la création ont tendance à renforcer l'internationalisation, mais induisent des situations de plus en plus complexe lorsqu’il s’agit de diffusion. En conclusion, nous présentons les enjeux et les questions qui mériteraient d’être approfondis par les chercheurs travaillant à l'intersection du management de l'innovation et du management international.
Resumen
En este artículo, empezamos por presentar un breve resumen de la evolución histórica de la innovación a nivel internacional en las multinacionales. A continuación, presentamos los desafíos enfrentados por estas multinacionales en el desarrollo de innovaciones. Luego nos centramos en las fases iniciales y finales del proceso de innovación: la creación y la difusión. Se demuestra que las problemáticas relacionadas con la creación tienden a sostener la internacionalización, pero inducen situaciones cada vez más complejas cuando se trata de la difusión. En conclusión, se presentan las problemas y cuestiones que deben ser profundizadas por los investigadores que trabajan en la intersección de la gestión de la innovación y de la gestión internacional.
