Overview: Although organizational innovation with information technology is often carefully considered, bandwagon phenomena indicate that much innovative behavior may nevertheless be of the "Me too" variety. This paper explores such differences in innovative behavior. Adopting a perspective that is both institutional and cognitive, the notion of mindful innovation with IT is introduced. A mindful firm attends to an IT innovation with reasoning grounded in its own organizational facts and specifics. This was contrasted with mindless innovation, where a firm's actions betray an absence of such attention and grounding. These concepts are developed by drawing on the appearance of the idea of mindfulness in the organizational literature, and adapting it for application to IT innovation.
