Innovation management standards. A Comparative analisys

Abstract

This paper analyzes and compares

two of the fi rst standards at the

global level for the management of

innovation: the UNE 166002:2006

for Spain and the BS 7000-1:2008

for the United Kingdom. During a

crisis, innovation has to be seen as

a key factor to overcome that crisis

and it is important to know which

standardized systems are available

in the world to manage innovation

effi ciently in enterprises.

This study was done in a good

time, because a new standard at

European level for the management

of innovation is currently being

developed by the European

Committee for Standardization

(CEN). Thus, after a review of

existing standards, it delves into a

deep analysis of the two standards

mentioned above through a

comparative study unprecedented

in the state of contemporary art.
