Information quality factors affecting innovation process

Abstract

This research aims to identify the information quality (IQ) dimensions and measures affecting the innovation management process. The research employs case study methodology and uses an information quality technique knows as Information Function Deployment (IFD). The selected case is an organisation dealing with the design and manufacture of electronic equipment and tools used for medical testing. This research identifies four IQ dimensions and six IQ measures affecting the innovation management process. The identified IQ dimensions are timeliness, interpretability, coherency and completeness while the IQ measures are information sensing, information collecting, information processing, information organising, information integrity and information sharing.
