Management argued that internal organizational competencies are safer in creating organizational competitive advantages.One of the internal organizational competencies is organizational innovativeness (ability of organizations to
innovate).Organizational innovativeness has been penciled as an important tool for improving the
effectiveness of tertiary institutions. The current business environment that tertiary institutions are can best be describe as dynamic, turbulent as well as unpredictable.Their success largely depends on their ability to strategically innovate and timely respond to the rapidly changing environment.The aim of this paper is to
discuss the correlations between organizational innovativeness and effectiveness of public tertiary institutions in Nigeria.Thus, the paper looks at the two types of innovations (technical innovation and administrative innovation) and how they could be employed by the Nigerian tertiary institutions in order to enhance their effectiveness. |
