This chapter presents a comparison of the first 17 organizations studied with the Model Innovation and Organizational Structure (or ‘the MIOS’). This is a cybernetic model containing ‘necessary and sufficient’ functions that should be fulfilled in an organization that aims to remain viable. It is a research tool developed to study organizational structures, including the ‘innovation structure’, by making a systematic description.
By comparing organizational structures, the ultimate aim is to deliver concrete design guidelines for a well-integrated embedded innovation structure. This should help to improve the persistently low performance of innovation and change activities (less than 30% success on average) by organizations.
To date, seventeen organizations have been studied. Inevitably, due to pragmatic sampling by the student researchers and the limited number of very different cases, the comparison shows a few promising results:
• the comparison yields seven observations on the innovation structures and the way they are designed,
• This allows us to conclude that the MIOS is useable for further empirical research (and diagnostic application).
