Individuals or organizations pursue innovation for different reasons and in different ways. The studies in this field of research seek to understand these different forms of behaviors and motives leading to innovative outcomes. Some of the observed behaviors are difficult to reconcile with classical economics assumptions and thus of particular interest. To get a better understanding of the factors causing innovation, innovation motives and performance are analyzed at different levels, i.e., the individual, team, organizational and regional level. Recourse to the econlab is of particular relevance for these studies.
