 Introduction: A Systemic View of InnovationDov Te’eni and Frantz Rowe A chapter in Innovation and IT in an International Context, 2014, pp 1-15 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract Innovation is not an option for firms these days, especially those operating in an international context. It is essential for competing, indeed surviving, in today’s rapidly changing and increasingly digital world. We believe that in order to understand how innovation in a digital world can be managed, supported and promoted, we must view it in an interdisciplinary way. This book takes a first step towards building such a view by first discussing perspectives from a number of different disciplines and then examining the ideas that arise from the interaction between them. This happens to be a well-known technique of innovation in general. In this introduction, we develop the rationale for a particular set of perspectives that, we believe, are essential for understanding innovation: strategic management, operations management economics, and information systems (IS). Moreover, as innovation is increasingly organized across national borders and organizational boundaries, we choose to pay special attention to innovation in the context of international business and open innovation.1 Keywords: Knowledge Management; Information System; International Context; Systemic View; Virtual Team (search for similar items in EconPapers) There are no downloads for this item, see the EconPapers FAQ for hints about obtaining it.
