The competition is based on a scientific selection process. Innovation researcher Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Franke from the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration and his team evaluated estos on the basis of more than 100 criteria from five categories: Top Management Promoting Innovation, Innovation Climate, Innovative Processes and Organization, External Orientation/Open Innovation, and Innovation Success.
Of particular importance is whether a company's innovations are systematically planned and therefore repeatable in the future.
"TOP 100 is about the question of how important the innovation goal is within the company. Do routines and practices dominate, or is the company capable of questioning the status quo, thinking creatively and innovatively, and successfully asserting itself on the market?" said Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Franke, scientific director of the competition.
Since 1993, compamedia has been awarding the TOP 100 seal for special innovative strength and superior innovation success to medium-sized companies.
The scientific management has been in the hands of Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Franke since 2002. Franke is founder and director of the Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Vienna University of Economics and Business. With 26 research awards and over 200 publications, he is one of the leading innovation researchers internationally. The mentor of TOP 100 is science journalist Ranga Yogeshwar. Project partners are the Fraunhofer Society for the Promotion of Applied Research and the BVMW association of small and medium-sized businesses.
