Australia is seen as lagging in the innovation that is needed for corporate success and national productivity gains. There is an apparent lack of consistent and integrated advice to managers on how to undertake innovation. Thus, this study aims to develop and investigate a framework that relates innovation practices to the type of innovation outcome, in the context of Information Technology (IT) enabled innovations. An Innovation Practice Framework was developed based on the Knowledge-Innovation Matrix (KIM) proposed by Gregor and Hevner (2015). Eleven commonly used innovation techniques (practices) were identified and placed in one or more of the quadrants: invention, advancement, exaptation and exploitation. Interviews were conducted with key informants in nine organisations in the Australian Capital Territory. Results showed that the least used techniques were skunk works and crowdsourcing. The most used techniques were traditional market research, brainstorming and design thinking. The Innovation Practice Framework was given some support, with genius grants being related to invention outcomes, design thinking with exaptation, traditional R&D with advancement and managerial scanning with exploitation. The study contributes theoretically with the new Innovation Practice Framework and has the potential to be useful to managers in showing how benefits can be gained from a range of innovation practices. Further work is in progress.

Technology utilization patterns and business growth in Small/Medium Enterprises
技术是为了支持和发展业务而创建的。有效利用技术的现代企业以惊人的速度增长(Statista.com,2018)。因此,我们的假设是,那些利用技术不足或使用技术效率低下的企业,会经历增长放缓,甚至可能出现业务下滑。技术发展在大多数行业中具有重要意义,特别是在减少浪费、优化流程以及提高收入和价格方面。到目前为止,我们已经看到了20世纪/21世纪的革命性技术发展(Ivanovic et al,2015),它导致了通信,计算机科学,操作监控,远程工作,高性能分析等领域的急剧增长。有些领域甚至纯粹是由于技术而存在的。技术设备无法弥补人类员工的技能、知识或创造力。然而,使用智能软件可以大大增强普通员工的专业知识。使用这种设备减少了对非熟练和半熟练工人的需求,但可以成倍地提高熟练工人的工作速度。创新是竞争差异化的关键定义标准-但其中一些可以很容易地复制,这基本上意味着创新和改进是一个持续的过程。当技术解决方案应用于工作中时,流程标准化将发挥重要作用。它调节/优化所需的员工数量,功耗,潜在地减少浪费,大幅改善卫生过程(如相关)。自然的结果是更高的过程效率和成本效率。关键词:技术,创新,流程效率,流程标准化,减少浪费,持续改进,业务投资回报率。
