CONCLUSION In conclusion, the above reviews have showed that managerial levers is one of the important essentials in determine the success of innovation implementation. Five managerial levers (strategy, organization structure, resource allocation, knowledge management and organizational learning and culture) as mentioned earlier have their own strength in assisting innovative performance in organization and it seems that those five are interrelated and supported each other (Smith, et al., 2008). For instance, structure configured organization to operate effectively and strategy is implemented through the structure (Crittenden & Crittenden, 2008). In fact, culture has acted as the key factor of innovation management because it impact other levers and also impacted by changes of other levers (Smith, et al., 2008). In fact, the role of knowledge management and also organizational learning is also related to each other. Thus, this paper proposes, the task of those levers would drive the innovation process of organization. Furthermore, the use of managerial levers would be in line with the theoretical perspective as innovation process interlink with the resource view and capability view (Muller, Valikangas, & Merlyn, 2005). 3.
