A chapter in Collaborative Innovation Networks, 2018, pp 15-24 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract A single organization or individual is almost always unable to provide completely satisfactory solutions to a community problem. Collaborative Innovation Networks (COINs) provide a method in which entities capitalize on existing human capital to spur cooperative innovation in community and economic development. This report details the successful experience of the U.S. EDA University Center for Regional Economic Innovation (REI) at Michigan State University in utilizing a COIN as a resilient economic and community development strategy. This method is successful as it allows for the resilience and adaptability of decentralized networks while retaining access to a large resource base.
