Abstract
Enterprise Systems purport to bring innovation to organizations. Yet, no past
studies, neither from innovation nor from ES disciplines have merged their
knowledge to understand how ES could facilitate lifecycle-wide innovation.
Therefore, this study forms conceptual bridge between the two disciplines. In
this research, we seek to understand how ES could facilitate innovation across
its lifecycle phases. We associate classifications of innovation such as
radical vs. incremental, administrative vs. technical innovation with the three
phases of ES lifecycle. We introduce Continuous Restrained Innovation (CRI) as
a new type of innovation specific to ES, considering restraints of technology,
business processes and organization. Our empirical data collection at the
implementation phase, using data from both the client and implementation
partner, shows preliminary evidence of CRI. In addition, we state that both
parties consider the implementation of ES as a radical innovation yet, are less
interest in seeking further innovations through the system.
