Digital manufacturing and innovation
这篇特刊导言概述了数字制造如何通过新技术改变产品设计、创造和消费,并总结了七篇相关文章,涵盖数字孪生到企业创客空间等主题,为创新管理研究提供未来方向。
Abstract Over the past decade, manufacturing has become increasingly digitized via an array of new technological developments. This digitization is transforming the way products are designed, created and consumed. However, relatively little is known about the impact of digital manufacturing upon innovation management. This special issue on Digital Manufacturing and Product Innovation begins to address this deficit via a collection of seven articles. Collectively, these articles cover a broad range of innovation‐related topics, ranging from digital twins to corporate makerspaces. In this opening article, we provide a brief overview of digital manufacturing and its relation to innovation, a review of prior research in this domain, a summary of the articles in this special issue, and an agenda for future research.
