Summary/Abstract: Innovation is seen as a key element of an organization's competitiveness. Along with the current imperative for innovation comes the need to adequately measure it. The purpose of this paper is to perform a literature review in the field of innovation performance models and metrics. The performed work aims to make an important contribution by facilitating the identification and categorization of innovation performance models and metrics formulated until the present time. A survey methodology was adopted to identify the most predominant contributions in the field. For that, the top three most popular bibliometric indexes (Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar) were used. Then, the top ten most relevant studies on innovation performance models and metrics were compared to determine similarities and differences between each generation of models and metrics. Finally, the main innovation performance models and metrics were identified, classified and compared.
