Innovation can arise from many different sources, including individuals, universities, government laboratories, private nonprofits, and firms. However, the most important source of innovation does not come from any single one of these, but rather the linkages between them. Firms are well-suited for innovation due to greater resources and incentives to develop new products and services, but individuals, universities, and nonprofits also contribute to innovation. Collaboration and linkages across these different actors is an even more important source of innovation.
Teaching the Produsers: Preparing Students for User-Led Content ProductionAxel Bruns
My talk at ATOM2006 outlined the produser concept, with a view also to how educators can aim to enable students to engage in produsage through the development of their critical, collaborative and creative ICT and media literacies.
Openness to new ideas, freedom from investigation of operation, and promotion and pay based on merit encourage entrepreneurship.
Excessive regulation, rigid hierarchy, lack of freedom, and excess control discourage entrepreneurship.
User innovation: learning from creative consumersIan McCarthy
Users have long been identified as important sources of innovation. This includes innovations from intermediate users (i.e., when companies are the users) and consumer users (i.e., when individuals who are users). In this talk I will introduce one particular type of innovating consumer user – the creative consumer. These are individuals who adapt, modify and hack existing propriety offerings, as opposed to creating completely new products. Then, together we will explore the characteristics of different examples of creative consumers and examine how companies can identify, acquire and leverage the innovation-related knowledge produced by such users.

A summary of Diffusion of Innovations
Les Robinson
Fully revised and rewritten Jan 2009
Diffusion of Innovations seeks to explain how innovations are taken up in a population.
An innovation is an idea, behaviour, or object
that is perceived as new by its audience.
Diffusion of Innovations offers three valuable insights into the process of social change:
- What qualities make an innovation spread successfully.
- The importance of peer-peer conversations and peer networks.
- Understanding the needs of different user segments.
These insights have been tested in more than 6000 research studies and field tests, so they are amongst the most reliable in the social
sciences.
“Envisioning open innovation in destinations” explains the key strategies to develop and operate an open innovation system in a tourism destination. It also envisions many potential outcomes and benefits for the tourism business, the professional contributors and the local communities.
Innovation can arise from many different sources. It can originate with individuals, as in the familiar image of the lone inventor or users who design solutions for their own needs. Innovation can also come from the research efforts of universities, government laboratories and incubators, or private nonprofit organizations. One primary engine of innovation is firms. Firms are well suited to innovation activities because they typically have greater resources than individuals and a management system to marshal those resources toward a collective purpose. Firms also face strong incentives to develop differentiating new products and services, which may give them an advantage over nonprofit or government-funded entities.
"While retailers and their suppliers generally provide a contiguous path for selected solutions, their ability to accurately predict the consumer need will never match that of the consumer themselves. Therefore, the strongest solutions, and the products that wrap them, come not from the retailer or their suppliers, but from the retailer's customer. The retailer need only develop the innovative ecosystem that encourages the process." - From the white paper "Innovation reconsidered" by Mark Reyland
This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.

2. Innovation can arise from many different sources. It can
originate with individuals,
as in the familiar image of the lone inventor or users who
design solutions for their
own needs. Innovation can also come from the research
efforts of universities, government laboratories and
incubators, or private nonprofit organizations. One primary
engine of innovation is firms. Firms are well suited to
innovation activities because
they typically have greater resources than individuals and a
management system to
marshal those resources toward a collective purpose. Firms
also face strong incentives
to develop differentiating new products and services, which
may give them an advantage
over nonprofit or government-funded entities.
An even more important source of innovation, however,
does not arise from any
one of these sources, but rather the linkages between them.

CREATIVITY
An individual’s creative ability is a function of
his or her intellectual abilities, knowledge,
style of thinking, personality, motivation, and
environment

5. TRANSLATING CREATIVITY INTO
INNOVATION
The familiar image of the inventor as an eccentric and
doggedly persistent scientist
may have some basis in cognitive psychology. Analysis
of personality traits of
inventors suggests these individuals are likely to be
interested in theoretical and
abstract thinking, and have an unusual enthusiasm
for problem solving. Their tendency
toward introversion may cause them to be better at
manipulating concepts than
at interacting socially. Such personality traits appear
to suggest that the capacity to
be an inventor is an innate ability of an individual.
Others, however, disagree with
this conclusion and argue that inventors are made,
not born.

6. INNOVATIONS
BY USER
Innovation often originates with those who
create solutions for their own needs.
Users often have both a deep understanding
of their unmet needs and the incentive to
find ways to fulfill them.22 While
manufacturers typically create new product
innovations
in order to profit from the sale of the
innovation to customers, user innovators
often have no initial intention to profit from
the sale of their innovation––they create
the innovation for their own use.23 Users may
alter the features of existing products,
approach existing manufacturers with product
design suggestions, or develop new
products themselves.
7. RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT
BY FIRMS

8. FIRM LINKAGES WITH
CUSTOMER, SUPPLIERS,
COMPETITORS AND
COMPLEMENTORS
Firms often form alliances with customers,
suppliers, complementors, and even
competitors
to jointly work on an innovation project or to
exchange information and other
resources in pursuit of innovation.
Collaboration might occur in the form of
alliances,
participation in research consortia, licensing
arrangements, contract research and
development, joint ventures, and other
arrangements. The advantages and
disadvantages
of different forms of collaboration are
discussed in Chapter Eight. Collaborators
can pool resources such as knowledge and
capital, and they can share the risk of a new
product development project.
9. INNOVATION IN COLLABORATIVE
NETWORKS
As the previous sections indicate, there is a growing recognition of the
importance of
collaborative research and development networks for successful
innovation.40 Such
collaborations include (but are not limited to) joint ventures, licensing
and secondsourcing
agreements, research associations, government-sponsored joint
research
programs, value-added networks for technical and scientific
interchange, and informal
networks. Collaborative research is especially important in high-
technology
sectors, where it is unlikely that a single individual or organization will
possess all
of the resources and capabilities necessary to develop and implement
a significant
innovation.
