NGEBIS’12
WORKSHOP ON NEW GENERATION ENTERPRISE AND
BUSINESS INNOVATION SYSTEMS
26 June 2012, Gdańsk, Poland
Michele Missikoff, Fabrizio Smith (eds.)
In conjunction with CAISE 2012
Preface
Innovation is one of the major drivers to enable European enterprises to compete in
global markets, especially in a tough economic juncture. Yet innovation is an elusive
term that is often used in an indefinite way. If we consider widely accepted definitions,
we can see that they capture only part of the essence of innovation. For instance, the
initial definition given by Wikipedia: “innovation generally refers to the creation of
better or more effective products, processes, technologies, or ideas that are accepted by
markets, governments, and society.” is a very schematic one. Reading further, the text
offers other perspectives. For instance, in an economic perspective: “innovation is the
catalyst to growth”, while in an organisational perspective: “innovation may be linked
to positive changes in efficiency, productivity, quality, competitiveness, market share,
and others.”
An innovation process is different from a “usual” business process we find in an
enterprise that is (supposedly) well defined in its activities, committed resources, etc.
Innovation is a creative activity confronted with “wicked problems”, i.e., problems
difficult to solve because of incomplete, contradictory, and changing requirements.
The New Generation Enterprise and Business Innovation Systems (NGEBIS) workshop
intends to address the area of business innovation that has been traditionally considered
too fuzzy and ill-defined to be systematically tackled by using existing information
systems and information engineering methods. The NGEBIS 2012 workshop has been
held on June 26 2012 in Gdansk, co-located with the 24th International Conference on
Advanced Information Systems Engineering.
We expect that the papers included in this volume will contribute to the development of
methods to be used in the implementation of a new generation of information systems
dedicated to business innovation. In particular, they are organized in three categories of
contribution: (1) Methods and Tools for Innovation Management, (2) Models and
Knowledge for Innovation, (3) The Technological Sphere in Innovation.
This edition of NGEBIS received 14 submissions, each of which was reviewed by at
least 2 program committee members in order to supply the authors with helpful
feedback. The committee decided to accept 8 contributions as full papers and 3 as poster
papers. The program also includes 1 keynote.
We would like to thank all authors for their contributions and the members of the
Program Committee for their excellent work during the reviewing phase.
Finally, we would like to thank also the organizers of CAiSE'12 conference for hosting
the workshop and the BIVEE European Project that is the initiator of this venture that
we expect to continue in the future.
