Situated novelty: Introducing a Process Perspective on the study of innovation
Research Policy, 2015Co-Authors: M. Janssen, A. M.v. Stoopendaal, Kim PuttersAbstract:This paper introduces a Process Perspective to innovation studies to answer the research question: What is innovation and how are different meanings ascribed to it in a healthcare setting? Drawing on four ethnographic case studies of projects in a public-funded innovation program in rehabilitation care in the Netherlands, we challenge some well-known assumptions about innovation that have long inspired traditional understandings of innovation. The findings are based on data derived from observations and interviews with managers, project leaders, and (para) medical professionals involved in the four innovation projects. The results indicate that (1) people often assign other meanings to innovation than mere 'novelty'; (2) that innovation usually entails extensive work that also constructs the value of an innovation; and (3) this has major implications for the management of innovation in organizational practice. This paper builds an argument for introducing an alternative ontological Perspective on innovation based upon the notion of 'situated novelty'. In proposing the contextual Perspective, we aim to extend current understanding of innovation Processes.

A Process Perspective on Industrial Symbiosis
Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2014Co-Authors: Frank Boons, Wouter Spekkink, Wenting JiaoAbstract:type="main"> It has been long recognized in the conceptual literature that industrial symbiosis requires a Perspective that focuses on long-term evolution. This has not yet been matched by adopting an adequate Process-oriented research methodology. This article provides the underpinnings for such a methodology, presents a developed methodology, event sequence analysis, and shows its added value through a set of research questions and an empirical example. It shows how the Process Perspective leads to asking new research questions as well as the uncovering of new insights about the emergence, evolution, and dissolution of symbiotic relationships and the institutional capacity required to build such relationships.

Investigating Business Intelligence and Analytics from a Decision Process Perspective: A Structured Literature Review
ECIS, 2013Co-Authors: Martin Kowalczyk, Peter Buxmann, J BesierAbstract:In recent years business intelligence and analytics have gained an increasing amount of interest among researchers and practitioners due to a number of success cases that have reported tremendous improvements in organizational performance. Despite evidence from those success stories, the realizable benefits from such decision support technologies depend on their effects on organizational decision Processes. Evidence on those effects is scattered throughout management and decision support systems research. The need for more integrative research on this topic has been expressed from both research communities. Therefore we focused our research goal on those effects and conducted a structured and extensive literature review. In this context, this paper provides three major contributions. First, we develop a research framework by integrating existing results on managerial decision Processes. Then, using this research framework, we present the results from the structured literature review on the effects of decision support technologies on the distinct phases, characteristics and outcomes of decision Processes. Finally, we discuss the findings and implications for business intelligence and analytics systems from a decision Process Perspective and propose future research directions.
