DEMOCRATIZING INNOVATION
By Eric von Hippel
MIT Professor of Management of Innovation and Head of the Innovation and
Entrepreneurship Group at the MIT Sloan School.
In this book von Hippel examines the emergence and benefits of
"user-centered innovation", whereby individuals and groups meet their
needs by developing their own new products and services (from surfboards
to security software). He explains how the practice can benefit both
users and manufacturers and how its emergence will bring changes in
business models and public policy.
