In this paper, it is argued that innovation can be the result of a repetitive, multi-actor negotiation process. We present the case of an environment-related product innovation in a large multinational company that emerged as the outcome of a complex interaction process in which numerous external and internal actors negotiated to safeguard their own interests. This negotiation perspective chall...

Given the growing prominence of innovation in service sciences and international competitiveness, the context of innovation has emerged in adoption research. This study explores emerging trends of ICT adoption in an innovation context. More specifically, given the increased importance of interorganizational networks in fostering innovation, the study uncovers drivers of adoption of interorganiz...

Abstract: Innovations, commercialized by new or old established firms, located at the core of industrial renewal process. The innovation concept has suffered transformations, along with the evolution of the models that try to explain and understand the innovation process. The innovative process corresponds to all activities that generate technological changes and the dynamic interaction between...

During the past decade, the World Economic Forum has published its annual reports in which the Global Competitiveness Index is included. This paper aims to investigate the key factors for achieving an innovation-driven economy. In this paper, we used partial canonical correlation analysis (PCCA) to examine the relationships between key pillars in “efficiency enhancers” and “business sophisticat...

It is widely acknowledged that users are important actors in innovation projects: the market success of new products and services depends highly on addressing customer requirements without overloading them with too many new features and technologies (Lettl/Gemünden 2005; Mason/Harris 2005). Going beyond traditional market research and integrating customers intensively into the innovation proces...

This study considered specific market, firm, and project-level factors that exert important influences on the success of R&D projects under the EU Framework Programme. A quantitative analysis in a cross-European sample of collaborative R&D projects, supported with relevant qualitative evidence, indicated that partnering firm innovation experience, innovation protection mechanisms, effective man...

Formalised service innovation is a central tenet of enterprise systems lifecycle phases. Event driven process models extended with knowledge objects are found to be not useful in early lifecycle phases. When an upgrade is required, a map of the knowledge infrastructure is needed to better design further service innovation because functional maps no longer adequately describe the context adequat...

Innovation is a complex phenomenon and process involving translation of knowledge into new techniques, products, services. It is considered crucial for sustainable agriculture development and achievement of long-term food security. The review describes the diversity of innovation and relates it to agro-food sector. It also sheds light on different innovation models and explores their contributi...

A. W. Brown S. Iyengar S. Johnston Models, modeling, and model transformation form the basis for a set of software development approaches that are known as model-driven development (MDD). Models are used in reasoning about a problem domain and the corresponding solution domain for some area of interest. In this paper, we explore model-driven approaches to the realization of solutions for today’...
