The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis of selected organisational and individual factors affecting innovativeness of organisations. The authors have focused on the mechanisms which are triggered within an organisation whose managing officers deliberately choose to support their employees’ inventiveness, creativity and provide them with talent management in order to develop a good organisational culture. This article is supposed to depict the analysed phenomena from a broad perspective. Therefore, the authors have included references not only to studies focusing on benefits which can be attained by organisations which support creativity, but also to those which analyse factors preventing companies from benefitting from an openness to innovation and creativity in their work environments.
