The Role of Career Adaptability and Flexible Expertise in Developing Individual Innovative Behaviour

Abstract

Innovation has been examined at the level of the firm, nation-state and at the European level. However, innovation is also dependent on active participation in working and learning processes by workers, and work process knowledge and practices can play a key role in innovation. Jensen et al. (2007) have distinguished between two modes of innovation:1.innovation strategies that emphasise Research {\&} Development and facilitate access to explicit codified knowledge: the Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) mode.2.innovation strategies mainly based on learning by doing, using and interacting (DUI) mode.
