The paper aims to form a useful tool for evaluation of sustainable innovation process in large manufacturing company. Several studies proved positive correlation between innovation and increased performance of companies and since large companies have the advantage of wide-range activities which opens new possibilities to innovate, they became driving force in innovation field. The main determinants of successful innovation are established based on literature research and used to create a questionnaire for the purpose of the examination of innovation management in selected company. Research suggests that main determinants need to be managed jointly because it is not possible to separate completely one determinant from another. The synergetic effect of all determinants complying together is proven to be a cause of successful innovation.
