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.
