Whereas the managerial/practical implications gleaned from the quantitative empirical understanding of the atypical causalities in the innovation research plethora serve to provide the ‘do’s’ and the ‘don’t’s’ for the organizations, it is needed that the extant literature of such ‘advisory’ implications be scanned through and significant lessons be learnt and/or experimented by the HRD/managers/organizations. The present study delves in one such endeavor vis-à-vis research in innovation development and implementation. Vis-à-vis the significance of innovation studies in the research context, the paper seeks to underscore the need to ‘learn’, ‘unlearn’, and ‘re-learn’ some lessons for the organizations. To the best of the author’s understanding, this is the first such bottom-up approach where the literature on managerial implications is being scanned, and, analyzed. In a bid to fortify the HRD of the organizations, such directly-derived understanding of the innovation research in organizations shall serve as the pointers for the managers as well as future research as well.
