Abstract

The chapter highlights the importance of workplace innovation in a global context, focusing on the role of the top management team (TMT) in driving innovation. It discusses the significance of generational cohorts within the TMT, exploring how different generations—Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials—contribute to innovation. The study uses a multiple case study methodology to analyze a sample of thirty-eight innovative firms, categorizing them by business life cycle phases: Maturity, Expansion, Growth, and Start-up. The findings reveal patterns in TMT composition and innovation strategies across these phases, emphasizing the importance of cognitive diversity in sustaining and enhancing innovation. The chapter concludes with implications for TMT composition and future research directions in the field of workplace innovation.
