The significance of systems perspectives in addressing complex problems has been emphasized in literature. However, application of such perspectives in the field of innovation management has been relatively limited but is increasingly gaining attention. This study contributes to the advancement of knowledge in this field by presenting a novel approach for studying and measuring systemic aspects of innovation management approaches by introducing the concept of systemicity in an innovation management context. Systemicity encompasses how systemic a system is, thereby addressing important aspects that have not been taken into consideration previously. The empirical data, collected in semi-structured interviews with two established companies, were analyzed using a tentative framework developed in this study. The study suggests that the three system dimensions comprehensiveness, coherence and correspondence are suitable for capturing systemicity and can support in identifying strengths and areas for improvement, providing a more holistic perspective on the system's potential for fostering innovation. Further research is needed to explore practical implementation of the framework for researchers and practitioners, and to determine suitable levels of systemicity as this was not examined.
