#Result of Case AnalysisIngenuity cannot guarantee innovation as long as the environmental forces that encourage innovation are present. 3M clearly indicates that there needs to be an organizational culture that supports innovation for ingenuity to transform into innovation. For example, a particular employee might be ingenious but in the absence of encouragement and support, he or she would not be able to innovate or find creative solutions to work problems.#
