Exploring networked innovation; Results of an exploration and the setup of an empirical study

The growing complexity of societal problems and the increasing need to co-design contexts together with the service or product; force companies to collaborate in innovation. This networked innovation requires people to design together; who not only come from different disciplines; but also come from different organisations and companies. The collaboration in networked innovation therefore adds another level of complexity in addition to the (better known) collaboration in mono- and multidisciplinary teams and introduces new issues.
