Abstract: | Innovation in the ICT service industry, as it is mediated by the internet, remains understudied despite unique industry characteristics. Current theoretical frames suggest strong incentives, and low technological boundaries, to support co-innovation among small and medium enterprises. However, there is indication about a disconnect between the theoretical frames and reality. Six interviews with C-suite decision makers were conducted to research how SMEs in the information communication technology service industry pursue radical innovation. Additionally, four sub questions in relation to resources and partnerships for resources were researched. |
