Abstract

This paper is about innovation processes studied in the light of the involvement of users during the development, implementation and usage of wireless information systems in organizations. The coincident appearance of a widely popular innovation, wireless information systems and the renewed interest for socio-technical aspects of information systems development (Wallace, Keil et al. 2004), provides the opportunity to further develop the understanding of user involvement in technology management processes.
