finAL concLusions

As it was indicated in this paper amongst market
tools for innovation management none dedicates
special attention to the role of information technol-
ogy - IT in its innovation processes. Such an insight
catalyzed the opportunity for the development of
a tool that could involve the complexity of what
it is means to manage modern IT technologies in
the innovation processes.
In this respect this paper showed two market
innovation tools: the TEMAGUIDE and the
NUGIN. Then, the INMATE- Innovation Man-
agement Technique was presented with its main
assumptions and dimensions.
The central concern of this paper was to
demonstrate some details (and complexity) of
one dimension of INMATE: the IT management
dimension. By appropriating from Computing
Science and Engineering the concept of Enterprise
Architecture, the paper has given special highlight
to a new methodology, called Architecture-Gov-
ernance-Enterprise Growth , which embodies an
analogy to the economic paradigm of Structure-
Conduct-Performance , which is traditionally
utilized in empirical market analysis. This new
methodology relies on three treatment approaches:
a) the Enterprise Architecture as an Strategy ap-
proach; b) the Enterprise Governance approach;
c) the Enterprise Growth approach.
Despite being presented in a brief fashion,
it is hoped that this INMATE tool, with its own
concepts and methodology shortly presented here,
can allow a new orientation for the analysis of in-
