The literature on innovation has introduced different terms to characterize innovation that break with existing knowledge: radical, breakthrough, architectural, disruptive innovation. Beyond the profusion of notions and the confusion induced, each type is defined by the results of the innovation process and not the activities needed to achieve them. The objective of this presentation is to propose a conceptual framework for the notion of exploratory innovation and the activities that underlie this process. We propose a framework for the management of exploratory innovation that differentiates two levels:

• A strategic level, the "strategic domain of ​​innovation "
• An operational level, "creative experimentation"

Thierry ISCKIA is full-time Professor of strategic management in Telecom Ecole de Management (Institut Mines-Telecom), Director of the Master in Strategic Management. Before joining Telecom Ecole de Management, he spent several years at the National Center for Telecommunication Studies (CNET, now Orange Labs) as a researcher in the Department of Economics & Technico-Economics Research. His research interests are in strategic management, innovation management and knowledge management. His current research investigates business ecosystems and/or network-centric innovation, knowledge-based inter-organizational collaborations and platform-based innovation management. He is author and co-author of numerous scientific articles published in academic journals and international conferences and workshops.
