With focus on innovative performance the importance of modes of innovation, clues for organizing learning and ways of utilizing employee knowledge are considered as main challenges.

Identification of principles and management instruments are based on research, which means generated form theoretical knowledge and empirical panel data covering firms from the private urban sector in Denmark in the period between 2006 and 2010. In this period the global economy has been through an exceptional business cycle.
