Innovation Culture in Higher Learning Institutions: A Proposed Framework

This paper systematically reviews literature on the establishment of innovation culture among students in higher learning institutions. It takes a close look at the concept of innovation culture and its influence on the resulting student innovative behaviour. This paper proposes an operational framework for measuring innovation culture and its relationship with innovative behaviour specifically in a higher education context. This framework is important in facilitating institutions to design activities cultivating innovation culture among students. This will eventually lead to the production of more innovative graduates and product innovation, which will in turn be beneficial for institutions in achieving global recognition.
