Abstract

Abstract The mounting costs of higher education mean that successful innovation cannot be left to chance. Over the last two decades the increase of innovation in higher education has highlighted a need for understanding of the processes of innovation and the ways in which successful innovation may be achieved. Planning of innovation is a management process aiming to facilitate the widespread and enduring adoption of the innovation. This paper considers the planning of innovation in higher education from four aspects: the nature of innovation, the planning process, educational planning and higher education. There are both technical and human constraints in planning of innovation. In the absence of sudden external pressures to change attitudes and beliefs, planning of innovation must seek to create a favourable environment. This may be achieved through altered organisational structures and the provision of support for innovation.
