Abstract(s)
Innovation capabilities (ICs) represent a crucial source of competitive advantage for firms.
However, the literature on ICs is extensive, leading to a diverse understanding of their nature and
measurement. A notable gap exists in delineating the dimensions constituting ICs. This article
aims to address this gap by identifying and pinpointing the various dimensions of ICs through a
systematic literature review (SLR). The initial step involves identifying the diverse dimensions
used in ICs, providing a distinctive insight for assessing their metrics. Notably, this SLR stands out
as the only comprehensive analysis of various ICs dimensions, organizing them coherently.
Examining 103 articles from the Web of Science and Scopus databases spanning from 2001 to
2022, the results reveal an amalgam of scales and associated approaches for IC measurement. This
study contributes to the literature by systematically identifying and analyzing the main dimensions
employed by researchers to measure ICs. Additionally, it highlights the foundational
theoretical approaches of the identified studies. In practical terms, the study consolidates and
presents the identified dimensions and metrics in integrative tables, offering researchers and
companies valuable insights into diverse innovation paths that impact performance.
