An alternative conceptual framework for studying innovation to suit the challenges in practice
Expert contributions built on service and practice-based theories to explore innovation in a multidisciplinary perspective
Provides evidence to conditions which lead to successful co-innovation and elements supporting it
The purpose of the book is to devise an alternative conceptual vocabulary for studying innovation by stressing the role of social, contextual and cultural perspectives. This vocabulary is drawn on a service and on sociological perspectives on innovation based on the ontological assumption that innovation is a value co-creation matter and that it takes place in a reality that is multiple, constructed and socially embedded. The aim is to tackle key issues such as social construction, service innovation, knowledge and learning processes, value (co) creation, innovating and innovation activities networking and collaborative innovation
