Chapter 1 in Innovation Through Cooperation, 2014, pp 3-15 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Many people have ideas. Many others have the skills and means to realize them in the market. If the two would work together more ideas could get realized—both would prosper. But such cooperation requires trust. The book explores the emerging mechanisms that facilitate a trusted division of labour in the innovation process between inventors and firms. It traces the implications this has and how it is changing the nature of innovation. The introduction sets out this argument and provides an overview of the book.
