Empirical work in industrial research organizations has provided data useful for better understanding researcher behavior during innovation. The role of information during idea creation and idea submission is described based on these data. A model of a management information system is structured which is consistent with and supportive of researcher behavior and which includes technical planning, project selection, and manpower planning. The critical problems of information search and dissemination are examined.
