AbstractIn a world of high technology, it is paramount to gain a thorough understanding of the factors and forces that shape and stimulate innovation. Herein, innovation is characterized as a process of organizational intervention where rationality is valued more for its process than for its results. An interactive dialectical process of learning leads to innovative solutions through the reconceptualization of models and of organizational logics. The roles of metamodeling and of metaknowledge in innovation are also outlined.
