What makes some organizations more innovative than others?

A good strategy allows individuals to impose their own imagination towards organizational goals in a coordinated way. Good structure adds incentives that encourage creativity and removes requirements that stifle personal freedom. Together, a simple strategy, strong incentives, and personal freedom make organizations innovative. A complex strategy, weak incentives, and bureaucratic requirements reduce innovation.
