This paper examines the implications for research into the diffusion of innovations (DOI) arising from a growing body of literature in two related fields. The first area concerns the debate on the role of regional and national systems of innovation (NSI) in the innovation process. The second area deals with the argument that enterprises must move from a “closed innovation” to an “open innovatio...

this paper seeks to trace some of the roots and problems of the rational view of innovation. concentrating primarily upon product innovation, we point out that the eighteenth century notion of social progress in the light of reason has gradually given an enormous impetus to a rational view of product innovation in modern organizations. we summarize several decades of research into management of...

As an effective way to aggregate a crowd's wisdom, crowdsourcing has attracted much attention in recent years. Especially for product innovation, crowdsourcing shows huge potential for generating more creative ideas in terms of quantity and innovativeness. However, there are still some deficiencies in the existing crowdsourcing work: i) lack of a crowdsourcing system under a systematic or unifi...

this study aims to examine how open innovation can be effective in changing organizational inertia to create business model innovation and improve firm performance. it also seeks to explore whether the existence of open innovation has a mediating effect and influence. this study constructs a theoretical model to explore the relationship between latent variables and uses a questionnaire to colle...

This study investigated the relative contribution of perception/cognition and language-specific semantics in nonverbal categorization of spatial relations. English and Korean speakers completed a video-based similarity judgment task involving containment, support, tight fit, and loose fit. Both perception/cognition and language served as resources for categorization, and allocation between the ...

In the field of Open Innovation, virtual communities set up by companies in order to integrate customers into their innovation process are a new and promising instrument. As there is actually a lack of systematic approaches for designing these communities, in this paper, we propose a pattern based two-step model, which enables non-intuitive design choices for virtual communities for innovations.

the purpose of this research is to determine indicators for innovation survey in the field of biotechnology in iran. in order to achieve this goal, theoretical basics on innovation survey are required to be studied to reach the needed indicators. finally, with a view to the advantages and weaknesses of the innovation survey procedures and also on the basis of a comparative study in the approach...
