Sustaining Innovation：Collaboration Models for a Complex World
内容简介:
In many ways, the process of innovation is a constant social dance, where the best dancers thrive by adapting new
steps with multiple partners. The systematic and continuous generation of value in any innovation system relies on
collaboration between different groups, who must overcome multiple, often competing agendas and needs to work
together fruitfully over the long term. Featuring contributions from leading researchers, business leaders, and
policymakers representing North America, Europe, India, Africa, and Australasia, this volume investigates different
combinations of collaborative arrangements among innovation actors, many of which are changing conventional
expectations of institutional relationships. Collectively, the authors demonstrate that no particular combination
has emerged as the most dominant, or even resilient, model of innovation. Several authors expand on our
understanding of the triple helix model, with both academics and practitioners looking to the quadruple helix
(encompassing business, academic, government, and civil society) as the new standard. Other authors address aspects
of open innovation, co-creation, and user-centered design—all testaments to the rapidly shifting landscape. At the
same time, many businesses, academics, and governments, not to mention non-profit organizations, foundations, and
society at large, are active in conversations about how to pursue a more sustainable model of innovation. The
pursuit of this holy grail of innovation is both facilitated and complicated by an ever-accelerating technological
environment in which social networking and mobile tools are emerging as new dance arenas.
