They need a measurement tool to assess and improve their innovativeness which is suitable for Indonesian context. The study focuses on manufacturing sector due to its substantial contribution of Indonesian economy and its big challenges. A measurement model, as a function of the activities in the technological innovation process and the management of the innovation and its measurement tool to assess the innovativeness of a company have been developed using cases in 4 companies in pharmaceutical and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry. Consequently, the measurement tool is expected to help Indonesia’s manufacturing companies to recognize their state of innovativeness and eventually improve it. This study describes the pilot testing of the measurement tool, using questionnaires sent to manufacturing companies in Indonesia which classifies company’s innovativeness into CLAS-category (creative, lucky, automatic and superb). The measurement tool has predicted that most of companies in pharmaceutical and ICT industry are classified in superb-category. It has also predicted the innovativeness categories of other companies reasonably well. © Medwell Journals, 2014.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Innovation activities,Innovativeness category,Management of innovation,Manufacturing sector,Measuring innovativeness[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.3923/ibm.2014.285.294[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
