The advent of Internet marked a significant change in how users and
customers can be involved in the innovative process. History is
rife with examples of how users innovate, but Internet and its
associated communication technologies brought radically new means
for individuals to interact rapidly and at little cost in
communities that spur new innovations. These communities are
initiated and governed by people that differ in their motivations
for taking part and participate to varying degrees. Such
communities are outside the immediate control of companies seeking
to develop open innovation strategies aimed at harnessing their
work. This book brings together distinguished scholars from
different disciplines: economics, organization theory, innovation
studies and marketing in order to provide an improved understanding
of how technological as well as symbolic value is created and
appropriated at the intersection between online communities and
firms. Empirical examples are presented from different industries,
including software, services and manufacturing. The book offers
food for thought for academics and managers to an important
phenomenon that challenges many conventional wisdoms for how
business can be done. This book was published as a special issue of
Industry and Innovation.

This volume is designed to renew, stimulate and facilitate
discussion about project-based organizations (PBOs) and how they
increasingly pervade business dimensions, from R&D and new
product development, to the production of complex capital goods and
implementation of organizational change across very different
industries such as management consulting, engineering or
entertainment. Contributors analyze PBOs as firms, units or
networks of firms set up to complete a specific assignment, as well
as address the evolution from traditional operations-driven project
management, to the strategic role of projects in delivering
innovation and organizational change, and the implications for
research and teaching. The volume brings together scholars with a
diverse theoretical background and using a wealth of methodological
approaches in studying PBOs. It focuses on theoretical frameworks
for understanding PBOs through different lenses, looks at learning
at the individual, team and organizational levels in temporary
organizational structures, investigates current issues related to
projects and networks, and identifies new areas for future
research.
