Abstract
Innovation Concept is an abstract or generalized innovation idea which always encourages and pushes forward material/service innovation. A concept diffuses through social actors’ communication or discourse. Plus, there are always some sets of core concepts that dominate the agenda for research and practice as a field progresses that set evolves, with new concepts replacing old ones. Therefore, the sets of concepts, the relationship among those concepts and the evolution of concepts, all of them constitute the concept network. This paper will focus Information Technology as an exemplar field, leveraging the broad and accessible discourse on that topic found in vast collections of formal and informal sources. Text analytic techniques from information retrieval and computational linguistics will be adapted to detect specific concepts and to understand why those innovation concepts are popular in concept network and how they work well.
