My dissertation focuses on the Corporate Accelerator (CA) as a firm's organizational artifact that, configured correctly and with the accompanying enabling conditions, can significantly contribute to enhancing a firm’s long-term innovative capability. Using a Critical Realist approach with a mixed-methodology, I describe seven CA mechanisms, four in detail, that emerge from my data collection, from 13 large organizations across 3 continents, as generators of innovative results. I also describe more than 60 new micro foundations that will bolster existing firm dynamic capabilities to enable the amplification of the CA’s innovation benefits. The Full Stack CA emerges as the CA type that will maximize the CA impacts. I describe a new, emergent, CA Success Oriented Model that helps identify a firm’s CA type based on whether it creates or follows strategy, and whether it does this by maximizing the firm’s Dynamic Capabilities. I conclude with a recommendation for firms to create an Innovation Generation function that is based on a Full Stack CA, and which continuously matures the firm’s innovation capability.
