Description
Providing practical and methodological guidance alongside valuable recommendations, the Handbook on Post-Schumpeterian Innovations presents a new framework for designing, developing and evaluating non-producer, especially user innovation.
Featuring a comprehensive worldwide view, chapters emphasise the role of users to innovation, showcasing key case studies and insights. Analysing significant theoretical and empirical developments in the field of post-Schumpeterian innovations, the Handbook utilises functional mechanisms, participant behaviours, adoption and reuse analysis to assess user innovation. Going beyond traditional producer-driven frameworks, the contributing authors use non-producer innovation paradigms as a crucial resource to illustrate the increasing importance of innovation models which employ extensive collaborative work and integrate diverse viewpoints and expertise.
This Handbook is an essential resource for innovation scholars and graduate students. The case studies also provide a useful guide for policymakers and researchers in business, evolutionary economics and entrepreneurship.

Reviews / Votes
'Jin Chen has coedited a fabulous Handbook which brings helpful attention to the distributed innovation model characteristic of today's global economy. The role of users/customers as compared to producers in the innovation process is given necessary emphasis. It has many how-to-do-it clues for executives and entrepreneurs.' -- David Teece, University of California, Berkeley, USA 'The Handbook on Post-Schumpeterian Innovations offers an insightful approach, a new paradigm to theory and practices, and the shift from traditional producer-driven innovation to more inclusive, citizen well-being focus approaches. With contributions from academics around the globe, it highlights how innovation with open, free, and social focus is reshaping economies and societies and contributing to the future of human progress, which we need more than ever.' -- Marina Dabic, University of Zagreb, Croatia 'The Handbook on Post-Schumpeterian Innovations offers a groundbreaking exploration of citizen-centered innovation paradigms, bridging theory and practice to redefine how we understand creativity and collaboration. An indispensable resource for academics and practitioners shaping the future of innovation.' -- Wim Vanhaverbeke, University of Antwerp, BelgiumMore details
