The paper is concerned with the management of front end phase of the innovation process. The most common models are presented here. Attention is paid to the characteristics that determine the management of this phase of the innovation process. A system assisting management in this area is proposed. This system relates to a wide range of innovations including any policy, structure, method or process, or any product or market opportunity that is perceived as 'new'. The factors that determine the methods and tools which are used are pointed out. The need of using various approaches in management according to the duration and scope of innovation is indicated. The summary implies directions for further research.
