8. WHY DO WE THINK A NEW MODEL IS NEEDED? • Because innovation, is not only matter of big business • Because existing models are very theorical and complicated, especially for small organizations • Because a simple and a practical way of understanding innovation is possible • Because we believe that a regional perspective adds value to the model

9. IN WHICH WAY WILL OUR MODEL BE DIFFERENT? Simple Understandable Take into account the views and need of small and medium organizations Easy to be applied Giving guidance, methodologies, tools and resources to be applied … In short, not only to propose what to do, but how

10. WHAT DO WE UNDERSTAND BY MANAGEMENT INNOVATION?

It contains the interaction between the actors who are needed in order to turn an idea into a process, product or service on the market.
