Deep structural and sustained change is necessary to tackle contemporary environmental challenges. How such change emerges and can be governed has been explored through the notion of sustainable innovation journeys. To date research had conceptualised such journeys as transitions to more sustainable socio-technical systems, e.g. mobility, shelter, food and farming. However, there is a paucity o...

This paper describes a research-in-progress that explores the applicability and implications of open innovation in a multiple-project environment that employs agile approaches to information systems development. In doing so, it seeks to reveal any resemblance the open innovation model has with the agile process, while simultaneously investigating the challenges of such an approach for project m...

The technological innovation evolution is a selforganization process. There are complex characteristics in technological innovation system. From the perspective of system theory this paper illuminated the self-organization characteristics of technological innovation system and analyzes the self-organization mechanisms of the innovation process and characteristics of openness, dynamic, nonlinear...

Innovation provides the means for enterprises to survive and grow. Due to the distributed and heterogeneous characteristics, it’s difficult to manage innovation across the extended enterprise. A novel vision for Semantic Innovation Management (SIM) is introduced. The system architecture combines ontology, inference and mediation technologies used to create a semantic web of innovation knowledge...

This paper analyses IT innovation diffusion within communities joined through electronic networks. Emphasis is laid on qualitative system dynamics, as a methodology of structure and behaviour, in order to understand successful IT innovation. The focal point of interest is the adoption-diffusion continuum, from prior use to post-adoptive behaviour, analysed and modelled by means of “adaptive str...

Technology innovation and creative problem solving are necessary for long-term enterprise survival. Making strategic decisions for product development is a key step in the technical innovation process. Computer-aided innovation (CAI) systems based on TRIZ (Theory of inventive problem solving) support strategic ideas generation of innovation. TRIZ methods are applied to assess the maturity of a ...

Although several prior studies have outlined and examined models associated with knowledge innovation in different fields, the literature lacks any solid insights combining Triple Helix model Spinner Innovation ascertaining their relevance to innovation. This article correspondingly presents an unprecedented alternative based on two models, analyzing structuring a process innovate economic sect...

In the literature on National Innovation Systems (NIS),the role of country specific institutional framework in the light of technological capabilities has been discussed at length. However, the analysis of an innovation system in the light of emerging technologies is a rather new phenomenon. Bartholomew (1997) and Senker (2001) have attempted to analyze such an innovation system for biotechnolo...
