Abstract

This study has the main objective to understand, through a systematic literature review, the relations between TQM and innovation, in order to generate insights and theoretical propositions. Thereunto, we analyzed 16 of the top 20 items obtained from Scopus database through the terms TQM and innovation, further 23 additional publications obtained in reverse form from those reviewed ones, a total of 39 items. The survey results suggest that: TQM and innovation have several converging points; few studies correlate the element "teamwork" to the five types of innovation; previous studies have linked continuous improvement to incremental innovation; there is little evidence on the relations between TQM and radical innovation.
