The major shift towards user-centered innovation: Implications for China’s innovation policymaking
نویسنده
چکیده
An important form of user innovation – Internet-supported collaborative design of new products and services by user communities – is likely to progressively supplant producer product and service design in many fields. This shift will require changes in governments’ innovation policies, for example, with respect to intellectual property rights. We discuss some general categories of innovation policy that it will be important to re-examine. We also suggest some innovation policy opportunities specifically relevant to China, as an emerging major player in global innovation.
