accompanied by the monetary expansion and this is the main factor behind the fluctuations of the
business (Moulaert, 2016). However, his theory points that innovation in the business is the key
reason behind increased or maximised investments and fluctuations of the very business. As per
him, the cyclical process exclusively the outcomes of the organisational innovation, both commercial
and industrial. Furthermore, as per the theory presented by Karl Marx, innovation is done by the
employees or the people working for the company. It is not only duty of innovation managers to
pitch ideas and implement something that is innovative. If an organisation truly wants to get
succeed, then it have to welcome and celebrate innovative ideas of each of the employees who are
