Abstract
While the increasing attention has been recently paid to the relationship between time and the innovation process, this area remains under-explored and under-theorized. Through the analysis of managers’ own accounts of innovation, this paper provides empirical evidence of the ways practitioners enact their present experiences as part of their past memories and future imaginings. It is through time, as an important lively and open-ended process, practitioners make sense of what is happening. In doing so, they socially construct meaning of innovation in different ways. Drawing from a sensemaking perspective, this paper explores practitioners’ use of time in making sense of innovation. This research contributes to our knowledge of researching past, present and future-oriented sensemaking.
