Perspectives on User Innovation

Edited by Stephen Flowers and Flis Henwood

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: There has been a dramatic shift towards more open, democratised, forms of innovation that are driven by networks of individual users. Users are now visibly active within all stages of the innovation process and across many types of industrial output, and their influence is spreading across many sectors. They are actively engaged with firms in the co-creation of products and services, and firms can no longer control the innovation agenda. This developing phenomenon has large implications for our understanding of the management of innovation.
