Abstract
An increasing number of corporations engage with users in co-innovation of products
and services. But there are a number of competing perspectives on how best to integrate
these understandings into existing corporate innovation development processes. This
paper maps out three of the dominant approaches, compares them in terms of goals,
methods and basic philosophy, and shows how they may beneficially enrich one
another. We will present an industrial innovation case that has been instrumental to the
development of what we have termed ‘Participatory Innovation’. Based on this we will
list the challenges such an approach sets to innovation management, and discuss
research directions we see as fundamental to the development of the field of user-driven
innovation.
