Technological innovations provide an opportunity to improve product performance and reduce cost. Therefore, design organizations are interested in monitoring technological innovations. A large number of innovations are announced every year. Monitoring them manually is very time consuming. We are developing web-based innovation-alert services that can be used to monitor and communicate informati...

The is much discussion about the challenges posed by what have variously been called " disruptive " , " discontinuous " , " breakthrough " and " radical " innovations. It is clear that under conditions in which the dominant " rules of the game " change as a result of emergent or shifting markets, major movements at the technological frontier, dislocations in the regulatory environment etc, even...

This study investigates the impact of innovation on users of an evolving Information Systems (IS) product. Building on two different streams of research, Levitts (1980) Total Product Concept and the Three Factor theory (Kano. 1984) this study identifies three types of innovation: Basic, Expected and Augmented. The impact of introducing these innovations on user satisfaction was found to be depe...

Game changers are radical innovations that result in fundamental and durable changes. The global HIV program scale-up witnessed over the past decade has included some innovations that are not well appreciated. The willingness to rapidly adopt and implement innovations, the flexibility and speed of program implementation, and the readiness to re-examine professional roles are just a few of such ...

There has been a longstanding concern among construction scholars and practitioners in classifying innovations, whether as “incremental” or “radical,” “technological” “organizational,” “product” “process”. In this paper we extend interest classification to examine what work accomplishes within innovation practices. Instead of addressing the validity categories objective representations explore ...

The controversy among scientists on whether standards and regulations hamper or stimulate innovation contains too little specificity and provides too few clues for innovation managers to act upon. In this article, we underscore the importance of timing and start by focusing on the effect of pre-existing standards and regulations on the subsequent development and diffusion of product innovations...

The fast growing body of radical innovation research is fragmented and difficult to overlook. We provide an overview the most cited journals, authors, publications conduct a bibliographic coupling structure literature landscape. identified following clusters: management innovations, organizational learning knowledge, financial aspects innovation, adoption diffusion, industry innovations as chal...
