What is it about?
The crucial questions of the investigation are as follows: "What does ‘luck’ mean in theories of innovation management?", and "What is luck in the practice of innovation management?" The study presents a spectrum of answers to these questions according to various normative theories including normative relativism, anti-relativism in metaethics, ethical egoism, universalism, personalism, liberalism, utilitarianism and eudemonism. The investigation shows that these premises indicate divergent directions of innovation management.

This investigation shows how directions of innovation management are determined by normative assumptions of the idea of luck.
Perspectives
The study opens a perspective for further research of the roles that normative assumptions come to play in the theory of innovation management and for empirical investigations about the impact of value preferences on decisions concerning the financing and implementation of innovations or their projects.
