INNOVATION: COFFEE SHOP SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT INNOVATION OCCURS WHEN WORLDVIEWS ARGUE

摘要

The authors are concerned about how Information Systems (LS.) managers might contribute their expertise in the management of information to encourage the birth of innovative industries. Evidence from the now extensive management and economics innovation literature argues that, in order to encourage innovation, it is necessary to design an evolving mix of social networks between organisations that encourages a range of very different tacit core competencies to meet. The soft and multiple perspective literature from the Information Systems discipline literature may then be useful to provide a more 'personal level' analysis of these meetings, especially using the 'inquiry systems' work that has derived from Churchman[1971].
