A Theory of Innovation Systems

该项目的目标是开发和验证如何设计信息系统以帮助组织创新的新理论。技术创新的目的是提高生产力和经济增长，但缺乏关于信息系统如何能够有意义地支持组织创新的知识。该项目的目标是开发和测试“创新系统”理论，该理论将描述为组织创新过程提供有效和高效支持的信息系统的设计原则。预期的项目成果将有助于开发支持组织创新的新系统，管理创新活动以提高生产力和增长，以及有效评估支持创新的技术。

The goal of the project is to develop and validate a new theory for how information systems can be designed to assist organisations in becoming innovative. Technological innovation is designed to increase productivity and economic growth, but knowledge is lacking about how information systems can meaningfully support organisations in becoming innovative. The goal of this project is to develop and test a theory of ‘innovation systems’ that would describe design principles for information systems that provide effective and efficient support to organisational innovation processes. The expected project outcomes would assist the development of new systems to support organisational innovations, the management of innovation initiatives to increase productivity and growth, and the effective assessment of technologies to support innovation.
