讲座摘要: To date, research on user innovation has largely focused on specific "important" product innovations developed by users.  In this talk, I will explain that a "system of use" perspective will usefully expand our focus to the contexts within which specific innovations function. This altered focus, in turn, draws attention to related adaptations and innovations that are often required to integrate specific innovations into such systems.

主讲人简介:

Eric von Hippel is T Wilson Professor of Innovation at the MIT Sloan School of Management.  His academic research focuses on the sources and economics of innovation with an emphasis on the very valuable role that innovation users play in innovation development.  Research on that topic is today conducted by many, and is triggering a rethinking of the Schumpeterian producer as innovator model.  The emerging view that users are at the center of pioneering within the innovation process promises to lead to major changes in company business models and also in government policymaking on innovation-related matters.
