title = {VALORizing Innovation},
year = {2026},
note = {Innovation measurement remains fragmented across existing frameworks,
creating ambiguity about effective approaches for assessing company
level innovation performance. Drawing on classification methodology,
this study synthesizes four established innovation measurement models
to develop the holistic VALOR framework—encompassing Values,
Activities, Longevity, Output, and Return on Innovation. For
operationalization of the framework 62 distinct indicators are
presented to measure performance. This research provides a
comprehensive analytical framework which includes traditional as well
as timely innovation aspects. The findings enable innovation managers
and asset managers to evaluate and benchmark innovation performance of
individual firms as well as to support their strategic
decision-making.},
