This paper analyses information system implementation from an innovation research perspective. The basic assumption is that information systems can be regarded as special types of innovation, so that the results of research concerning innovations may be of value within information system implementation research. The paper gives a brief overview of innovation research, identifying the characteristics of innovations as its most distinctive research area. Principal attention is paid to the analysis of four characteristics - complexity, radicalness, originality and divisibility - as factors influencing the implementability of innovations and information systems.
