Hi All!
Please join us for a PDW on User Innovation at the upcoming AoM Conference in Chicago. The details are as follows:
Title: Users as Sources of Technological Innovation: Consequences for Firm Strategy and Industry Evolution
Research questions: Does the phenomenon of user innovation support existing theories of technological innovation and industrial change or is this alternative source of innovation one that will force us to reconsider, extend, or radically alter existing theories? Does user innovation apply to all the stages of industry evolution or does it apply to emerging industries only? We try to address these questions through the PDW.
