Abstract
Much has been written about the need for organizations to be more innovative if they are to have a source of sustainable competitive advantage. The literature describes approaches to innovation that range from doctrinaire, procedural methods to laissez-faire, complex methods. This paper takes the semiconductor industry as a case study of an industry where innovation is critical, and describes the systems that are actually in use in the industry today. It will be seen that a common theme running through systems to support innovation is the facilitation of discourse among and between people engaged in the design activity.
