Book excerpt: Die Entwicklung von innovativen Lösungen durch Freiwillige in Online Communities – sogenannten „Open Collaberative Innovation“ (OCI) Communities – hat beachtliche Aufmerksamkeit durch die Wissenschaftsgemeinde erfahren. Ein Grund dafür ist, dass viele dieser Communities extrem erfolgreich sind, wie die Beispiele von Wikipedia oder unzähligen Open Source Communities zur Softwareentwicklung zeigen. Eine der Kernfragen bei der Erforschung dieses Phänomens ist die Problematik der Governance in solchen Communities. Governance umfasst die Mechanismen zur Koordination der Arbeit und zur Sicherung des Austausches zwischen verschiedenen Akteuren. Zusätzlich versuchen immer mehr Firmen die Vorteile von OCI Communities zu nutzen, indem sie entweder eigene Communities gründen oder mit bestehenden interagieren. Diese Entwicklung hat direkte Auswirkung auf die Frage der Governance, da sich der Fokus von einer reinen Selbststeuerung der Community hin zu einer externen Steuerung durch die Firma verschiebt. Die folgende Arbeit untersucht dieses Problem, indem die die Auswirkung von zwei verschiedenen Governance Ausprägungen (exogen vs. endogen) in einer Innovations-Community gegenüber gestellt wird. Dies wird mittels eines Experiments erörtert. Communities of volunteers creating innovative outcomes, so called open collaborative innovation (OCI) communities, have received considerably scholarly attention. Attention, because such communities have shown extremely successful as the outstanding examples of Wikipedia and numerous open source communities producing software confirm. When investigating OCI communities’ one key question is governance, that is, the way the community coordinates work and safeguards their interactions. Recently, a growing number of firms have started to make use of OCI communities, either by sponsoring or interacting with them. The emergence of firms shifts the focus from self-governance of volunteers to external, firm initiated, governance of communities. The following book examines this issue, by contrasting two modes of governance (exogenous vs. endogenous governance) within a community. The question is investigated through an experimental approach.

Download or read book Open Source Innovation written by Cornelius Herstatt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open Source Innovation (OSI) has gained considerable momentum within the last years. Academic and management practice interest grows as more and more end-users consider and even participate in Open Source product development like Linux, Android, or Wikipedia. Open Source Innovation: Phenomenon, Participant Behaviour, Impact brings together rigorous academic research and business importance in scrutinizing OCI from three perspectives: The Phenomenon, Participants' Behavior, and Business Implications. The first section introduces OCI artefacts, including who is participating and why, and provides a systematic overview of the literature. The second section stresses the behaviour of participants, highlighting participation progression, community selection, user entrepreneurship and fair behaviour, and answering key questions like how to manage governance rules, openness and community design aspects. The third explores the impact and implications of OSI for firms and economies by evaluating business models, uncovering opportunities for firms to interact with communities, and presenting value capture mechanisms. Open Source Innovation provides a full picture of the movement to help readers understand and engage with OSI from the micro perspective of individuals, to the community, to the macro perspective of firms and economies.
Download or read book Joining Decisions in Open Collaborative Innovation Communities written by Daniel Ehls and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel Ehls analyzes the impact of contextual factors on attracting volunteers into open initiatives. He answers challenging questions like why do users join one community over another and what are attractive conditions for user and open innovation With a discrete choice experiment, Daniel Ehls identifies openness trade-offs and joining preferences contingent on access, usage and sponsorship. Also, he reveals causes of taste heterogeneity and shows how context and personality determine joining decisions. Management insights target organizational behavior, e.g. how the governance structure affects user actions, and competitive strategy, e.g. how to source external distributed knowledge.
Download or read book Online Communities and Open Innovation written by Linus Dahlander and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of Internet marked a significant change in how users and customers can be involved in the innovative process. History is rife with examples of how users innovate, but Internet and its associated communication technologies brought radically new means for individuals to interact rapidly and at little cost in communities that spur new innovations. These communities are initiated and governed by people that differ in their motivations for taking part and participate to varying degrees. Such communities are outside the immediate control of companies seeking to develop open innovation strategies aimed at harnessing their work. This book brings together distinguished scholars from different disciplines: economics, organization theory, innovation studies and marketing in order to provide an improved understanding of how technological as well as symbolic value is created and appropriated at the intersection between online communities and firms. Empirical examples are presented from different industries, including software, services and manufacturing. The book offers food for thought for academics and managers to an important phenomenon that challenges many conventional wisdoms for how business can be done. This book was published as a special issue of Industry and Innovation.

Download or read book Collaborative Innovation in the Public Sector written by Jacob Torfing and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public sector innovation is important because the pressures of growing expectations from citizens, budget crunches, and a surge of complex governance problems cannot be solved by standard government solutions or increased funding. In order to innovate, government increasingly needs to collaborate with networks of partners across agency boundaries and especially with the nonprofit and private sectors to find new solutions. This interaction within a network can enhance creative and effective governance solutions. In this book, Jacob Torfing closely examines the link between network-based collaborative governance and innovation, proposes a framework for the study of collaborative innovation, and discusses this approach in light of theoretical insights from other disciplines and from examples of public innovation drawn from the United States, Europe, and Australia. This book will move scholars closer to being able to develop a theory of collaborative innovation.
Download or read book Innovation Governance in an Open Economy written by Annika Rickne and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-04 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an increasingly globalised world, paradoxically regional innovation clusters have moved to the forefront of attention as a strategy for economic and social development. Transcending international success cases, like Silicon Valley and Route 128, as sources of lessons, successful high tech clusters in niche areas have had a significant impact on peripheral regions. Are these successful innovation clusters born or made? If they are subject to planning and direction, what is the shape that it takes: top down, bottom up or lateral?
Download or read book Unpacking Open Innovation written by Manlio Del Giudice and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-12-18 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disintegrated or distributed innovation, collaborative innovation, collective invention, collegial innovation, free innovation, open knowledge disclosure, free knowledge disclosure: are these all the same thing? This shows us there is some confusion regarding open innovation, or at least there is a need to cast a wider net around what open innovation is all about. The prevailing thought is that open innovation allows organizations to simultaneously expand their breadth of ideas, opportunities, and know-how while minimizing the technical and market risks associated with innovation. As a result, open innovation appears to come with little down side. Del Giudice, Della Peruta, and Carayannis fill the gap in our understanding of this emerging research field of open innovation. Their work depicts the major tendencies of publications through identifying the main themes in literature and investigating the research frontier. It also discusses potentially important fields of investigation that are still left rather unexplored.

Download or read book Collaboration in the Digital Age written by Kai Riemer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how digital technologies enable collaboration as a way for individuals, teams and businesses to connect, create value, and harness new opportunities. Digital technologies have brought the world closer together but also created new barriers and divides. While it is now possible to connect almost instantly and seamlessly across the globe, collaboration comes at a cost; it requires new skills and hidden ‘collaboration work’, and the need to renegotiate the fair distribution of value in multi-stakeholder network arrangements. Presenting state-of-the-art research, case studies, and leading voices in the field, the book provides academics and professionals with insights into the diverse powers of collaboration in the digital age, spanning collaboration among professionals, organisations, and consumers. It brings together contributions from scholars interested in the collaboration of teams, cooperatives, projects, and new cooperative systems, covering a range of sectors from the sharing economy, health care, large project businesses to public sector collaboration.

Download or read book Imagining the Internet written by Robin Mansell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an impressive survey of our collective and cumulative understanding of the evolution of digital communication systems and the Internet. Whilst the information societies of the twenty-first century will develop ever more sophisticated technologies, the Internet is now a familiar and pervasive part of the world in which we live, work, and communicate. As such it is important to take stock of some fundamental questions - whether, for example, it contributes to progress, social cohesion, democracy, and growth - and at the same time to review the rich and varied theories and perspectives developed by thinkers in a range of disciplines over the last fifty years or more. In this remarkably comprehensive but concise and useful book, Robin Mansell summarizes key debates, and reviews the contributions of major thinkers in communication systems, economics, politics, sociology, psychology, and systems theory - from Norbert Wiener to Brian Arthur and Manuel Castells, and from Gregory Bateson to William Davidow and Sherry Turkle. This is an interdisciplinary and critical analysis of the way we experience the Internet in front of the screen, and of the developments behind the screen, all of which have implications for privacy ,security, intellectual property rights, and the overall governance of the Internet. The author presents fairly the ideas of the celebrants and the sceptics, and reminds us of the continuing need for careful, critical, and informed analysis of the paradoxes and challenges of the Internet, offering her own views on how we might move to greater empowerment, and suggesting policy measures and governance approaches that go beyond those commonly debated. This concise book will be essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the challenges the Internet presents in the twenty-first century, and the debates and research that can inform that understanding.
