Organisational Innovation Leadership in Practice: The Eddyfi Technologies Case

Abstract

This chapter illustrates the concept of organisational innovation leadership (OIL) through a case study of the organisational transformation of Eddyfi Technologies to achieve superior innovative capacity through synergetic centralisation. The case study focusses on the real challenges faced when effecting organisational transformation, and how innovation leadership practices provided constructive resolutions that culminated in a successful reorganisation. We find that effective innovation leadership is conveyed primarily through establishing close relationships, open communication, and setting the example in a consistent and strict manner.
