Perspectives on Innovation Processes
回顾了关于创新过程的文献，探讨了企业、多主体网络和社区中的创新过程，并识别了四种复杂性（演化、关系、时间、文化），主张利用而非控制这些复杂性以维持持续创新。
Innovation is often thought of as an outcome. In this chapter, we review the literatures on innovation processes pertaining to the invention, development, and implementation of ideas. In particular, we explore how these processes unfold within firms, across multi-party networks, and within communities. Moreover, we identify four different kinds of complexities associated with innovation processes that we label as evolutionary, relational, temporal, and cultural complexities. While one approach is to manage or control such complexities, we draw attention to literatures that suggest that it is far more productive to harness these complexities for sustaining ongoing innovation. We conclude the chapter by highlighting some areas for future research.
