The Methodlogy of the Study of Innovation : The Way to Make Wake Up Dreaming Cyborg(<Special Issue>Interpretivism in Information and Management Research)

Abstract

In this paper, the author advocates the mutual shaping of socio-technical practices as an understanding of innovation. This concept is brought from reflexive analyzing a case of real-time CT development in Japanese medical industry in 1990's. The reflexive analyzing would let us clear the theoretical assumptions informer concepts of innovation through failures of explanation, and modify the concept more relevantly as study of business administration.
