Technology development is changing where it is possible to master hundreds of thousands of functionalities with one single device. The design of targets of use and purposes for technologies has thus become an increasingly important issue in industrial design, where the innovative value can be found increasingly often in new ways of using technologies rather than in developing new technical arti...

Both the cloud computing and open innovation paradigms represent recent phenomenon and as such many unanswered questions still persist. Indeed cloud computing’s full innovation potential may only be fully realised through an open innovation approach. In responding to this research gap we propose a new value creation framework which is based on a review of the literature on cloud computing, inno...

Innovation events the introduction of new products or processes represent the end of a process of knowledge sourcing and transformation. They also represent the beginning of a process of exploitation which may result in an improvement in the performance of the innovating business. This recursive process of knowledge sourcing, transformation and exploitation comprises the innovation value chain....
