Building towards a software based innovation modelling tool

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Management literature is renowned for producing concepts and frameworks but few of these are translated into software-based tools, even when they could be valuable to management. The area of innovation modelling is unfortunately a case in point. Management has heretofore been unable to effectively capture, communicate, and share its innovation models. Owing to the limited cognitive abilities of the human mind and the complexity and ambiguity surrounding innovation in organisations, the role of software-based tools in the future of innovation modelling should not be overlooked. But no standard approach to representing innovation models exists. The objective of this paper is to describe a prototype of an innovation modelling tool that resulted from our 24-month research initiative. We also include descriptions of an ontology upon which the prototype is built and the design science approach through which it emerged.
