Chapter Chapter 4 in Communities of Practice and Vintage Innovation, 2014, pp 71-88 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter reports two case studies (vinyl emulator for disk jockeys and film scanners for analog photographers) illustrating the corporate approach of vintage innovation. The common characteristic of these case studies is that vintage innovation is developed by companies. The unit of analysis of the study is the improvement, by vintage innovation, of customer effectiveness of old technological products after the emergence of new competing technologies. Three different dimensions are illustrated for each case in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon: (1) The process of technological change; (2) The community of practice centered around the OTBP; (3) The vintage innovation. The study is based on primary and secondary data. The chapter ends with the main managerial implications of vintage innovation for companies.
