User innovation, design space, and everyday practices: Rodeo Kayaking case revisited
نویسنده
چکیده
User innovation school by Eric von Hippel and his numerous co investigators has done ground braking work in exploring how and why users innovate, in identifying lead-users and contributions from user innovation communities. The present paper focuses on four understudied issues in this framework that come visible when one re-examines the analysis of rodeo-kayaking by Baldwin, Hienerth and von Hippel (2006) and Hienert (2006) originally geared towards exploring the role of user-innovators in industry development also after the earliest stages. These themes are 1) the scope of user innovation; 2) the evolution of design space for a user practice; 3) the range of ways users are involved in innovation; and 4) the range of users that are innovative in design relevant ways. The findings related to these issues add some qualifiers and suggest re-phrasings to some of the questions user-innovation school asks about user-innovation and industry development.

How User Innovations Become Commercial Products: A Theoretical Investigation and Case Study
In this paper we model the pathways commonly traversed as user innovations are transformed into commercial products. First, one or more users recognize a new set of design possibilities and begin to innovate. They then join into communities, motivated by the increased efficiency of collective innovation. User-manufacturers then emerge, using high variable cost / low-capital production methods. ...
