| Description | This paper addresses the question of how the creation of innovation in organizations can be supported in such a way as to cultivate organizational sustainability. Seeking to identify, systematize and elucidate the process of redevelopment in an Austrian SME by means of Language-Information-Reality (LIR), a multidimensional system of semantics, it is argued that the coming about of innovation can be explained by the enactment and management of four well-selected knowledge components: expertise, competence and capabilities in their operational influence upon organizational action, as well as explanatory meta-theoretical reflection. The structure of this explanation is generalized into a holistic framework for the analysis, guidance and evolution of actions to be taken to support the emergence, selection and implementation of innovations for a sustainable future. |
