Numerous studies have highlighted companies’ challenges to manage innovation systematically. Recent strands have explored cases where this practice is associated with a specific organizational function constitution (i.e. Innovation Function – IF). The concept of organizational function adopted in this context refers to an identifiable group with defined goals in the organization. Despite such progress, it is still necessary to understand how the Innovation Function consolidates over time in an organizational environment. In this regard, this paper presents the dynamics of implementation of the IF in a Brazilian industrial group. From 3.5 years longitudinal study focused on the sequence of events associated with the IF’s team, the innovation function assignments emergence is discussed (e.g. idea generation, portfolio management, funding and tax incentives, partnerships). Based on these findings, we present considerations about the IF’s consolidation process, suggest assignments causal relations and identify the most relevant assignments for the case.Downloads
