The Uk

Examples of the value that can be created and captured through crowdsourcing go back to at least 1714, when the UK used crowdsourcing to solve the Longitude Problem, obtaining a solution that would enable the UK to become the dominant maritime force of its time. Today, Wikipedia uses crowds to provide entries for the world’s largest and free encyclopedia. Partly fueled by the value that can be created and captured through crowdsourcing, interest in researching the phenomenon has been remarkable. For example, the Best Paper Awards in 2012 for a record-setting three journals—the Academy of Management Review, Journal of Product Innovation Management, and Academy of Management Perspectives—were about crowdsourcing. In spite of the interest in crowdsourcing—or perhaps because of it—research on the phenomenon has been conducted in different research silos within the fields of management (from strategy to finance to operations to information systems), biology, communications, computer science, economics, political science, among others. In these silos, crowdsourcing takes names such as broadcast search, innovation tournaments, crowdfunding, community innovation, distributed innovation, collective intelligence, open source, crowdpower, and even open innovation. The book aims to assemble papers from as many of these silos as possible since the ultimate potential of crowdsourcing research is likely to be attained only by bridging them. The papers provide a systematic overview of the research on crowdsourcing from different fields based on a more encompassing definition of the concept, its difference for innovation, and its value for both the private and public sectors.

Analysis Of Results

Abstract. The purpose of this study is to analyze the key factors for managing the product innovation process, from existing models over time. Different proposals are presented by different authors who have studied this phenomenon, and as a result of these have conceptualized the knowledge in different models of innovation, so this work focuses on meeting certain elements in a new model including a new variable was not been considered in previous models (Organizational Creativity). This study was focused on SMEs and theirimportance in the economy of any country. The analysis of results and findings are presented from a study of 53 samples to the industry of information technology in Nuevo León, México.Key Words. canieti, innovation management process, new product development (NPD), organizational creativity, SMEs.Resumen. El propósito del estudio es analizar los factores clave para gestionar el proceso de innovación de producto, a partir de modelos existentes a través del tiempo. Se presentan diferentes propuestas por distintos autores que han estudiado este fenómeno, y como resultado de estos han conceptualizado ese conocimiento en diferentes modelos de innovación, por lo que este trabajo se enfoca en conjuntar ciertos elementos en un modelo nuevo incluyendo una variable nueva que no había sido considerada en modelos anteriores(Creatividad Organizacional). Este estudio va enfocado a las PyMEs por la importancia que tienen en la economía de cualquier país. El análisis de resultados y las conclusiones se presentan a partir de un estudio de 53 muestras a la industria de las tecnologías de la información en Nuevo León, México.Palabras Clave.

PurposeThis study discusses the application of Insider Action Research to the systematic integration of an environmental perspective into industrial product innovation processes and projects. Applying Insider Action Research, it aims at a broader integration between top-down and bottom-up and soft and hard perspectives in the intersection of ecodesign and innovation and project management disciplines.Design/methodology/approachThe research design is based on action research and specificities from Insider Action Research to capture the change and transition aspects involving two main action research cycles. The longitudinal five-year research was carried out within a Brazilian cosmetics company. The outcomes of these cycles are analysed including customisation of ecodesign tools and related application, and views of different stakeholders of the challenge for the transition.FindingsThis paper describes an action research application aiming at faster learning loops in the field of sustainable innovation management. As a second contribution, an Ecodesign Transition Framework (ETF) is proposed, combining both technical and soft sides. The proposed framework is structured in three levels (strategic, tactical and operational), with two complementary perspectives of a mature ecodesign pattern and a transition pathway.Practical implicationsThe action research led to the intended outcomes both on the applied side, with increased diffusion of ecodesign in the company, and on the research side, with the ETF formulation and application. Practitioners interested in sustainable innovation can follow the ETF procedures, challenges faced, lessons learnt and conclusions.Originality/valueThe Insider Action Research addressed the literature gap to better relate the recommendations in the field to business reality. The resulting ETF brings a novel perspective for integrating environmental considerations in the product innovation process of a company. It organises the soft issues to be considered for the necessary transition towards such integration, consolidating and advancing previous theoretical views of ecodesign, with associated new practical implications.
