碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 企業管理研究所 === 99 === Management innovation is about applying new practices and methods firms use for improving their performance. It has become the latest issue in the field of strategy and general management, but there is a research gap about knowing how management innovation really processes within a firm. In this exploratory study, we used the case study approach to explore how management innovation processes operated in local and foreign firms in Taiwan, and futher compared our findings with an exiting management innovation process model proposed by Birkinshaw, Hamel & Mol (2008). Our study shows management innovation processes operated in local firms were both affected by internal and external agents. However, those of foreign firms in Taiwan were only affected by actions of internal agents that different from the exisintg conceptual model we considered. This research provides new insights about management innovation and further discussions and implications are discussed in the end of this thesis.
