This paper takes the concept of usability one step further and proposes a framework to assess suggestion systems. Thus taking the concept of usability one step further and applying it in the area of ideas management through suggestion system. The fundamental premise of the article is that a suggestion system designed, with usability in mind, will improve innovation among employees, and hence increase participation. This framework was then used to assess four suggestion systems in an oil and gas company in the middle-east. These systems were further assessed for employee perception of their usability and participation. After collecting data on these three different aspects conclusions are drawn. Out of the four systems analyzed, the most usable suggestion system had the highest participation rate and the least usable system attracted the fewest suggestions.  ISSN : 1319-1047  Journal Name : Engineering Sciences Journal  Volume : 21  Issue Number : 2  Publishing Year : 1431 AH 2010 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Tuesday, April 5, 2011  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email محمد عارف Arif, Mohammed Researcher Doctorate m.arif@salford.ac.uk هاني محمد أبوراس Aburas, Hani M.
