Both practitioners and researchers alike assign considerable importance to innovation. However, the process of how innovation unfolds over time is still not well understood. It is the aim of this dissertation to introduce an elaborated picture of innovation processes over time and to discuss the implications of the dynamics of the innovation process for individuals working in innovative contexts, that is, leaders and team members of innovative teams. The first paper of lays the theoretical and empirical groundwork of my dissertation in demonstrating that within the boundaries of the gradual development of innovation activities over time innovation processes are recursive and highly dynamic. These dynamics make the innovation process a challenge for everyone involved in it. In the second and third paper of my dissertation, I discuss this challenge in greater detail for leaders and team members of innovative work teams. Thus, with this dissertation I do not only to give a more elaborate picture of how innovation projects unfold over time, but also describe the challenges attached to the innovation process and give first answers to the question of how individuals involved in this process may be able to master these challenges.
