The process was formalized by Eric von Hippel in the article PERSPECTIVE Usertoolkits for innovation and it is based on his belief in innovation made by lead user s. The process is based on the idea that manufacturers possess the knowledge of the solution possibilities, while the users possess the knowledge about needs. This information is sticky information sticky and can therefore not be transferred easily between the user and the manufacturer. The process can be used in a variety of settings, and has been shown to be applicable in systems ranging from production of electronic circuitry to Apache security software.

The concept of a system of innovation was introduced by B. . Lundvall in 1985 however ... Economy 1841 , which might just as well have been called The National System of Innovation Freeman, 1995 . Christopher Freeman coined the expression National Innovation System or in his 1988 study of the success of the Japanese economy. The concept, similarly used as National System of Innovation or National Innovation System was later applied to regions and sectors. According to innovation system theory, innovation and technology development are results of a complex set of relationships among actors in the system, which includes enterprises, universities and research institutes. Innovation systems have been categorized into national innovation system s, regional innovation system s, local innovation system s, technological innovation system s and sectoral innovation systems. There is no consensus on the exact definition of an innovation system, and the concept is still emerging. Innovation is often the result of the interaction among an ecology of actors, and the term innovation ecosystem is occasionally used to emphasize this. For some, the expression innovation ecosystem is a subset or synonym of innovation system . Others separate between the expressions, using the expression innovation system for labeling a planned innovation environment, and innovation ecosystem for an ecological innovation environment.

Orphan date February 2009 Hidden innovation refers to innovation that is not captured or recognised by traditional indicators such as research and development R&D spending or number of patent s. The term generally refers to innovation that takes place outside science & technology sectors, which are the primary sectors which invest in formal R&D and patents. For example, although technological innovations are often developed in the oil & gas sector through oil exploration activities, these innovations are unaccounted for in innovation metrics because oil exploration is not counted as formal R&D. Other types of innovation, including social innovation , can be classed as hidden innovation. Although originally coined in the 90s by Diana Hicks and Sylvan Katz in their research on the hidden research system involving hospital researchers, and Mike Hopkins research on genetic testing within the UK healthcare system, the concept of hidden innovation has most recently been promoted by NESTA , in their Innovation Gap Report, published October 2006. A later report, called Hidden innovation , further expands on the concept and identifies four types of hidden innovationInnovation that is the same or similar to activities that are measured by traditional indicators, but which is excluded from measurement. Innovation without a major scientific technological basis, such as innovation in organizational forms or business models. Innovation created from the novel combination of existing technologies and processes. Locally developed, small scale innovations that take place under the radar and are therefore unrecognised or accounted for.

neologism No footnotes date June 2010 Innovation Intermediaries is a concept in innovation studies to help understand the role of firms, agencies and individuals that facilitate innovation by providing the bridging, brokering, knowledge transfer necessary to bring together the range of different organisations and knowledge needed to create successful innovation. Innovation intermediaries have always played a key role in innovation, for example the agricultural middlemen in 16th, 17th and 18th century Britain who not only bought and sold wool, but facilitated the transfer of knowledge of new techniques. With the recent fashion for Open Innovation involving complex networks of firms and users, organisations such as consultants, conference organisers, trade organisations, government innovation agencies etc are now recognised as playing a central role in facilitating and coordinating innovation. Innovation intermediaries are variously described as bridgers , change agents , brokers . They are important as the developers of a new invention or technique are seldom connected to their potential ... and knowledge together to build supply networks and markets.

An Innovation Capitalist is a type of innovation intermediary . Innovation capitalists are firms, often with a particular industry expertise, that seek out and evaluate ideas and technologies from the inventor community and other external sources. One type develops and refines those ideas to the point where their market potential is validated, and they then sell the rights to the innovation to large client firms. Another form of innovation capitalist seeks out ideas and technologies under contract from large client firms develops and refines those ideas to the point where their market potential is validated, then sells the rights to the innovation to their client. Both types of innovation capitalist invest in the technology in order to reduce the client company s acquisition costs and early stage risks. In return, they share in the proceeds from the innovation. The term Innovation Capitalist was coined by Prof. Satish Nambisan of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Mohanbir Sawhney Prof.Mohanbir Sawhney of Northwestern University in their article in the Harvard Business Review in March 2007.

The research is primary because the data collected is gathered directly from customers or prospects and is intended to answer a specific research question. Secondary research is data collected previously by others, usually through primary research, that may or may not address a specific research question.

In some cases, though, game players may be any person or system who is or would be affected by a product or service.
