'This is a landmark study that tackles an important black box in
innovation studies - i.e. communities of innovation. While
conventional work focuses on formal organizations, a select group
of academic leaders highlights the various communities that cut
across firms and form the vital 'underground' for processes of
creativity and ideation. While targeted toward business and
management, this volume is a must-read for all social scientists
interested in the dynamics underlying the current knowledge
economy.'Journal of Economic GeographyThis book describes the
important role played by communities in innovation processes and
how organizations can benefit from it. A community brings together
individuals who share a common passion for a given area of
knowledge and can contribute to innovation at different levels:
capitalization of good practices, problem solving, sharing of
expertise, or development of new and creative ideas. The literature
has progressively identified many variants of communities such as
communities of practice, epistemic communities, communities of
interest, virtual communities, etc. These forms of communities
differ regarding the type of the specialized activities of
knowledge on which they focus. As practitioners and academics
increasingly emphasized the needs of collaborative approaches in
innovation, they progressively challenged the traditional idea that
innovation is mainly generated by hierarchical corporate
departments and highlighted the active role that communities play
in innovation processes. The aim of this book is to shed light,
using multiple examples, on the proactive and fundamental role of
communities in the new innovation practices of organizations.
