Innovation is becoming more and more a success factor for companies worldwide and Morocco has adopted a national policy that encourages innovation and research and development in recent years. Our job is to make a diagnosis of the current state of business innovation challenges in Morocco. In this article we analysed the current situation of innovation in the Moroccan industrial sector. For this, we carried out a survey of forty companies in the industrial field in Morocco, based on a questionnaire that we have developed in our research laboratory. The interpretation and analysis of the results obtained are summarized, on the one hand, by the structural incompatibility of companies with the means required for innovation, and on the other hand by the problem posed by the technical level of the players and employees of companies to make possible the design and production of innovative products. We have dealt with issues related to innovation in Morocco from two different angles: firstly, the direct or indirect barriers or obstacles to the integration of innovation, and secondly, internal and external levers. That can encourage manufacturers to adopt innovative solutions.

Abstract
Innovation is becoming more and more a success factor for companies worldwide and Morocco has adopted a national policy that encourages innovation and research and development in recent years. Our job is to make a diagnosis of the current state of business innovation challenges in Morocco. In this article we analysed the current situation of innovation in the Moroccan industrial sector. For this, we carried out a survey of forty companies in the industrial field in Morocco, based on a questionnaire that we have developed in our research laboratory. The interpretation and analysis of the results obtained are summarized, on the one hand, by the structural incompatibility of companies with the means required for innovation, and on the other hand by the problem posed by the technical level of the players and employees of companies to make possible the design and production of innovative products. We have dealt with issues related to innovation in Morocco from two different angles: firstly, the direct or indirect barriers or obstacles to the integration of innovation, and secondly, internal and external levers. That can encourage manufacturers to adopt innovative solutions.

Abstract: (french)
L’innovation devient de plus en plus un facteur de succès que doivent adopter les entreprises au monde entier, de sa part le Maroc a adopté une politique nationale qui encourage l’innovation et la recherche et développement ces dernières années. Notre travail consiste à faire un diagnostic de l’état actuel des enjeux de l’innovation dans les entreprises au Maroc. Dans cet article nous avons analysé la situation actuelle de l’innovation dans le secteur industriel Marocain. Pour cela, nous avons effectué une enquête auprès d’une quarantaine d’entreprises dans le domaine industriel au Maroc, en se basant sur un questionnaire que nous avons élaboré dans notre laboratoire de recherches. L’interprétation et l’analyse des résultats obtenus se résumént, d’une part, à l’incompatibilité structurelle des entreprises avec les moyens requis pour l’innovation, et d’autre part au problème posé par le niveau technique des intervenants et des collaborateurs des entreprises pour rendre possible la conception et la production de produits innovants. Nous avons traité les problématiques liées à l’innovation au Maroc sous deux angles différents : premièrement des barrières ou des freins directs et indirects qui se posent à l’intégration de l’innovation, et deuxièmement des leviers internes et externes qui peuvent encourager les industriels à adopter des solutions innovantes.
Author Keywords: Enquête, questionnaire, recherche et développement, industrie, concurrence, barrières, leviers.
