Abstract

Time and innovativeness are crucial for organizations and human beings and are very hard to master. Without time management, this imperative resource is wasted or at least utilized poorly. Without innovativeness, there will be no new innovations, inventions, approaches or change to better. Even that these are commonly recognized to be very important, these issues are often still neglected. Time and innovativeness are quite similar also other ways. Both phenomena should be understood from a wider perspective in order to maximize their utilization. Both need to be approached from both personal and organizational point of views as well as understood human factor in both. Both phenomena can be utilized better by conscious awareness towards them and linkages between them should be understood. This paper presents research which shows that time and innovativeness development needs are behaving similarly. The correlation between these two phenomena was found and different development personalities are introduced as a conclusion. Future research aspects and recommendations are also discussed in this paper.
