In this research, a framework was developed with six building blocks: Innovation Capacity, Innovation Performance, and Firm Performance, Innovation Strategy, Innovation Networks and Market Turbulence. The previous researchers in this project also developed a questionnaire for measuring these building blocks. This questionnaire combined with a calculation method together form the Innovation Challenge tool. This thesis reports on the research done to finalise this tool and make it useful for IBM.
