[EDITORIAL] 20TH Special Issue For The ISPIM

Welcome to the 20th Special Issue of the International Journal of Innovation Management (IJIM) for the International Society for Professional Innovation Management (ISPIM). This draws upon papers submitted to the ISPIM Innovation Conference at Stockholm in June 2018. From this pool of 250 potential papers, nine were selected for further review, and the five papers published in this issue are the results of subsequent review and revision. The foci of the papers range from individual innovator characteristics, through organisational factors, to the ecosystem in which the firm is embedded, demonstrating the need to adopt an integrated approach to fully understand and practice innovation (Tidd and Bessant, 2018).
