Abstract
In the increasingly competitive environment that characterizes the world today, the need to develop innovations quickly has become the key driver of growth for many organizations. To be able to respond more effectively to this new challenge, organizations would make best use of their corporate knowledge resources and memory.
Managing heterogeneous and distributed knowledge sources available in different forms and rather weakly structured has become a challenging problem.
In this paper, we introduce taxonomy as one of the key technology for innovative knowledge management in an open context, we revisit and review, discuss and explore the existing classifications of innovation and we present a Generic Taxonomy for Innovation Management.
Taxonomy is the science of ordering things in a hierarchical manner. Originally developed for the classification of organisms, the term is now generalized and often used either as a synonym of classification or of systematics. Etymologically, taxonomy means to “put in order” and systematics means to “put together”. So when attempting to build taxonomies, one creates a special kind of classification that compares similarities between the objects of study, using systematics to make groups, based on the observed relatedness, and finally order them.
Taxonomy for Idea Management
In this paper, we have proposed a generic taxonomy for innovation management that aims to help innovation actors accessing, providing and sharing valuable knowledge in machine understandable form. We perceive this contribution as strong basis for the development of an efficient innovation management framework that aims to orchestrate collective intelligence and collaborative learning in a multitude of contexts.
