“…Since the Internet allows for expansive forms and sources of information to an increasingly broad audience, 6 maintaining relevancy and updates that meet user expectations requires a hypermedia rich with concise but informative content, and a multimedia presence going beyond hyperlink navigation. 7 By watching user patterns, remaining cognizant of the average Web consumer's connection speeds, the Web site and application redesign strived to strike a balance between the expectations of consumers, and exploring the boundaries of current technology.…”

Recruiting volunteers into clinical research remains a significant challenge for many clinical research study teams, thus the Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research (MICHR) at the University of Michigan developed UMClinicalStudies (www.UMClinicalStudies.org) - a web application that links the community to a single gateway for clinical research. UMClinicalStudies (formerly named “Engage”) is an integral piece of MICHR's efforts to increase clinical research participation in order to advance medical discoveries. Despite the initial success of the application, barriers to research participation remain, including the applications accessibility for potential research volunteers and study team members. In response, new initiatives were instigated to identify user needs, in order to broaden the ability to simultaneously assist researchers in recruitment activities, while also aiding potential volunteers in the exploration of and participation in clinical research opportunities. To do this, improvements to the interface and functionality were identified and implemented for both the public and the research audiences through extensive system analysis, and through the application of human computer interactivity processes, resulting in significant improvements in usability and ultimately research volunteerism, indicating that utilizing such technology is pivotal in reaching broader audiences for clinical trial participation.

“…Before 20th century, knowledge was analog and knowledge sharing was mainly dependent on the actual movement of people [Tapscott (1996)]. At the beginning of 21st century, digital text displaced print as the primary means of access to the knowledge [Cope and Kalantzis (2009);Wilder and Ferris (2006)]. However,¯rms' ability to interact and collaborate with external actors was still limited and costly.…”

Based on an extensive literature review, this paper identifies nine erosion factors that lead to the birth of open innovation and discovers their interrelations by using Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM). As a result, digital technologies and globalization emerged as major drivers. More interestingly, erosion factors proposed by leading open innovation scholars emerged as weak drivers, meaning that open innovation is driven by other factors. We argue that a better understanding of these factors and their interrelations provide valuable insights for managers and policy makers in emerging markets on facilitating the adoption of open innovation and promoting a more open business environment.
