Abstract

Consulting engineering and design organisations, known as CEDOs, are responsible for much of the extensive technological innovation in the Canadian arctic offshore petroleum industry over the past decade. This research is an exploration of the roles CEDOs play in the innovation process in ocean engineering systems. The CEDOs are not strong in organising the project actors, or in supplying project execution services, but they play a wide variety of crucial roles as the source of innovation, in design and in the overall evolution of technology.
