Quo Vadis, open and user innovation theory?

摘要

Few topics in current management research are reviewed as often as open and userinnovation (Bogers et al., 2010, 2017; West & Bogers, 2014). As such, our aim for theintroduction to this special issue is not to contribute yet another review on what work hasor has not been done. Rather, in line with the purpose of the special issue – for work onopen and user innovation to make the “next step” – we want to take this opportunity tobriefly reflect how this literature to move from a challenger of an existing paradigm'(Kuhn, 1970) to a theoretical approach in its own right.
