Abstract :
W.C. Miller´s Innovation Style Profile instrument was used to collect data from IS (information systems) personnel to compare the innovation styles of IS personnel to those in other occupations. Analysis of the results revealed significant differences. Knowledge of these differences should enable teams composed of IS personnel and user personnel not only to better tolerate their differences but also to better appreciate the value of multiple approaches to innovation
