Francisco Calle Moreno, Carmen Perea Escribano · 2013
Abstract. Innovation is a complex endeavor, traditionally involving several stakeholders according to three basic approaches: (i) Push-mode and technology driven, when the innovation is generated on the supply side; (ii) Pull-mode and demand driven, when the innovation is requested by the demand side; (iii) Cocreation, when all the stakeholders cooperate together to generate product or process innovation. We are of the opinion that the latter is the most effective and the most difficult to achieve. The BIVEE’s Virtual Innovation Factory (VIF) is direct consequence of the co-creation concept. This paper aims to show the main goal of the VIF is to boost and manage innovation by creating both an easy to use and attractive tool to enhance the co-creation, the crowd-sourced projects and organizations.
