Abstract | This paper presents a debate between the authors designed to articulate two different perspectives on designing for continuous innovation and sustainability at Central Queensland University and the University of Southern Queensland in Australia. One perspective, drawn from engineering and the physical sciences, conceives of innovation in terms of technology understood as applied science, with quantification and reduction essential precursors to effective optimisation. The other perspective, derived from education and the social sciences, understands innovation as transformation of practice (Denning 2004) and as contingent and situated and concerned with issues such as value and community. |
