Tesis ini dibuat berangkat dari ketertarikan penulis terhadap agenda artikel riset empiris The Impact of Entrepreneural Leadership on Innovation Management and Its Measurement Validation (Fontana dan Musa, 2017). Salah satu temuan yang disampaikan dalam artikel tersebut adalah tidak ada hubungan signifikan antara Proses Inovasi dan Kinerja Inovasi. Riset itu menggarisbawahi peran manajemen inovasi dalam menentukan hubungan positif antara proses dan kinerja inovasi. Penulis bermaksud mengeksplorasi faktor lain yang dapat memediasi hubungan antara Proses Inovasi dan Kinerja Inovasi. Dengan menggunakan metode kuantitatif SEM-PLS, peneliti melakukan survei terhadap 100 pucuk pimpinan dari 60 perusahaan non Keuangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Pembelajaran Organisasi pada level tim merupakan salah satu faktor yang dapat memediasi hubungan antara Proses Inovasi dan Kinerja Inovasi. Hasil lain yang diperoleh adalah adanya hubungan langsung antara Proses dan Kinerja Inovasi pada perusahaan non Keuangan, sehingga dapat diidentifikasi dengan jelas kontribusi manajemen inovasi terhadap kemampuan daya saing perusahaan.
