Innovations have often been the subject of academic literature, where scholars attempt to identify the success and failure factors of innovative endeavors. A review of the contemporary literature has highlighted a knowledge gap in innovation studies. Although academics in innovations literature often agree that the salience of stakeholders is a very important factor, the challenges associated with cooperation are hardly ever identified or made explicit. This gap in the literature is one this paper attempts to bridge, by formulating a cooperation focused framework, in order to identify success and failure factors of innovative endeavors. To assess the efficacy of the framework, a case is applied. It is an innovative booking platform project in rail freight transport that relies on cooperation between stakeholders. Interviews with experts and project owners are applied to gather data and evaluate the findings. The analysis produces several success and failure factors of the project, along with key decisions that need to be made. Future research recommendations are made, most importantly a call for increased focus on cooperation in innovation literature.
