Abstract
Small and medium-sized enterprises depend heavily on their capability to differentiate themselves from their competitors through innovative approaches. Innovation management assumes that systematically applying strategies combined with appropriate methods and tools increases the ability to build innovative products and services. To leverage their competitive capabilities, small companies involved in software development must combine innovation management and software engineering practices. Researchers have proposed an innovation activity model tailored to these companies' needs. The model is based on the relevant literature and standards and the experience of small companies or departments that have successfully developed innovative, software-based products. The model comprises defined activities, outcomes, tasks, and work products and establishes interfaces with software development processes.
