This view is incorporated by Swann (1986, p. 2) who the term as follows: ‘‘By quality innovation we mean a particular form of product innovation: the introduction of a new (often improved) version of an existing product, rather than a pletely new product. The quality innovation can be analyzed within an existing space of qualities or characteristics。 （ （英文參考文獻(xiàn)及譯文） 二〇一〇年六 月本科畢業(yè)論文 題 目： Innovation quality— a conceptual framework 創(chuàng)新質(zhì)量概念框架 學(xué) 生 姓 名 ： 陳 貴 飛 學(xué) 院 ： 管 理 學(xué) 院 系 別： 工 商 管 理 系 專 業(yè)： 工 商 管 理 班 級(jí)： 工管 063 班 指 導(dǎo) 教 師 ： 蘇 紅 梅 講師 學(xué)校代碼： 10128 學(xué) 號(hào)： 202020702088 內(nèi)蒙古工業(yè)大學(xué)本科畢業(yè)論文 1 Int. J. Production Economics 80 (2020) 31–37 Innovation quality—a conceptual framework UdoErnst Haner* Institute for Human Factors and Technology Management, University of Stuttgart, Nobelstr. 12, D70569 Stuttgart, Germany Abstract In this article a framework for a new concept—that of innovation quality—is presented and its relevance for considerations with respect to innovation and strategy is highlighted. The concept of innovation quality allows making a statement regarding the aggregated innovation performance in three different domains within an organization by paring the result, being it a product, process or service innovation, with the potential and considering the process on how the result has been achieved. The three domains of innovation quality are product/service, process and enterprise. After analyzing the foundation concepts of quality and innovation a short interpretation of the concept of ‘‘innovation quality’’ in contrast to ‘‘quality innovation’’ is given. In the second large section of this article the principle of innovation quality is presented, possibilities of determining and representing the concept are shown and a strong link among innovation quality and strategy is suggested. Keywords: Innovation。 Strategy。 x4 represent parameters of innovation quality in the enterprise domain, while y1。 z4 represent parameters of innovation quality in the process and the product domains, respectively. The higher the values of these parameters, the better the innovation quality is assumed to be and the further out from the diagram center the notation on the respective parameter line will occur. . Innovation quality and strategy As implied at the end of the previous section, different patterns of innovation quality might the states at different but similarly successful panies. While one might be strong in the product/service domain, another might be as strong in the process domain, but both are very successful. Evaluating one instance of an innovation quality pattern by itself does not make any statement regarding the success of the pany displaying this pattern—and it does not aim to do so! Measuring and displaying innovation quality is in a .rst stepa method of increasing awareness within an organization regarding its innovation pattern. For judging its appropriateness for the organization, the innovation quality pattern needs to be evaluated in conjunction with the strategy this organization pursues. Here it is, where innovation quality can receive a subjective connotation that adheres to quality concepts. With respect to product quality a consumer might be pletely disappointed with a particular product’s quality, while for an other and for the pany producing it, the quality level might just be optimal, possibly maximizing. The same holds true for innovation quality: For one pany in a particular market with a particular strategy a particular innovation quality pattern might be just optimal, whereas in a different pany even in the same market the same pattern would be considered pletely unsatisfactory. Two disguised examples of German panies will the notion that to successful panies different innovation quality patterns might belong. ‘‘A’’ is a medium sized enterprise in the wood and plastic processing business and has an o
