Existing literature has been used as secondary data to harmonize the constructs as delineated in the conceptual framework for the research. Findings: Several empirical and conceptual studies besides academic contributions have reasonably helped to find that innovation and technology management require essential support of creativity, knowledge and leadership vision. Not only a significant relationship exists but a sequential order is also affirmed for the whole process. Originality / Value: This study presents the mechanism through which organizations can ensure better innovation and technology management. The inclusion of vision, knowledge and creativity in an orderly manner has added another dimension to the subject matter as a new contribution.
