Abstract
This paper aims to explore how organisational ambidexterity development is linked to a systematic approach to managing innovation. Specifically, it focuses on the adoption of Innovation Management Systems, such as the recently developed ISO 56002. Therefore, this paper presents preliminary results of a planned exploratory research focusing on Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs), which will be carried out as a longitudinal international project. The research will be conducted in several European and Canadian Small SMEs with a series of semi-structured interviews. The preliminary results of our pilot cases based on 6 organizations reveal that SMEs are open to the systematic approach to innovation capability development and display systematic tendency for some capabilities, such as collaboration and leadership.
