In business terms, the ultimate purpose of innovation is to generate profitable growth, however for mature industrial technology firms (LMTs), operating in mature markets, endeavours of innovation often result in the maintenance of the market share and rarely in creating growth streams. This doctoral thesis intends to shed light on the management practices that make LMTs in mature markets succesful in the creation of innovation driven growth. To introduce the subject, on the basis of a literature review in related tapies, a conceptual framework describing the business environment influencing the innovation behavior of LMTs in mature markets is proposed, and contrasted to the conditions of companies operating in fast moving business environments. The state of the art analysis, based on a literature review, indicates that previous research done on the subject is scarce. A construct explaining the creation of innovation driven growth for LMTs in mature markets has not been found. To collect knowledge on the investigated subject, a multi-case qualitative research has been undertaken. The selected cases are six LMT companies, headquartered in three European countries, operating in mature markets. The collection of data has been primarily based on sem i-structured interviews to 28 executives of the selected companies .To carry out the research, a novel innovation management analysis structure, adapted from existing models, and made of twenty factors classified under chapters of Culture, Leadership, Resources & Competence, and Processes, has been developed. The outcome of applying the new innovation analysis structure to the six cases has been compared to the succes of every com pany in creating growth streams. The findings and analysis of the data have led to identify the key factors and its distinctive characteristics contributing to success in the creation of innovation driven growth. lnterrelations and dependencies across factors are also observed and analyzed. lnsihts into the cases explaining the innovation practices and links to success are presented. An inductive process and the cross comparison of the cases, finally leads to the identification of an innovation system construct, defined as a top management process that proves to contribute to create new growth streams in LMTs in mature markets.
