“…Marti et al (2016) reports the importance of interconnected products and services ecosystems, in order to successfully cope with the complexity of social challenges, although specific features of a supporting technological solution are not described. Schaffers et al (2009) proposes a platform based on open service-oriented architecture that allows for reusing and sharing services and applications.…”

Social innovations (SI) are solutions that simultaneously meet a social need and lead to new or improved society capabilities. Although SI have been one alternative to modern societies challenges, little evidence is found on how this process occurs, including methods and tools. This research analyses the state of art in the academic research on the development of SI projects through a systematic literature mapping related to the development of SI projects. Main findings are that SI development processesfrom ideation to implementation and scalability -are not completely described, little detailed information exists about the use of methods and tools, lack of implementation results, and very limited knowledge can be found on how organizations develop capabilities to manage SI projects. This paper brings to the SI research community a landscape of approaches already used in SI projects management, giving ground to a research agenda in the field.Resumen: Las innovaciones sociales (IS) son soluciones que satisfacen simultáneamente una necesidad social y generan capacidades sociales nuevas o mejoradas. Si bien las IS han sido una alternativa a los desafíos de las sociedades modernas, se encuentra poca evidencia sobre cómo ocurre este proceso, incluidos los métodos y las herramientas. Esta investigación analiza el estado del arte en la investigación académica sobre el desarrollo de proyectos de IS a través de un mapeo bibliográfico sistemático relacionado con el desarrollo de este tipo proyectos. Los principales hallazgos revelan que los procesos de desarrollo de la IS, desde la ideación hasta la implementación y escalabilidad, no se describen completamente, existe poca información detallada sobre el uso de métodos y herramientas, faltan resultados acerca de la implementación y se encuentra un conocimiento muy limitado sobre cómo las organizaciones desarrollan capacidades en la gestión de proyectos de IS. Este documento, brinda a la comunidad investigadora del campo de IS un panorama sobre los enfoques utilizados en la gestión de proyectos de IS, dando paso a una agenda de investigación.Palabras clave: innovación social, desarrollo de la innovación social, mapeo sistemático de la literatura.

However, after making such general statements, the focus of these studies usually turns entirely back towards the user research part, leaving the business model aspect undefined and providing no practical guidelines whatsoever on how to make the link.…”

“…The largest group of studies focuses on multi-actor living lab consortia and considers the collaboration model between these partners as a key issue in securing a sustainable and long-term collaboration agreement (Garcia-Guzman et al, 2013; Grezes et al, 2013;Mulvena et al, 2010;Niitamo et al, 2006;Nikolov & Antonova, 2012;Pitse-Boshomane et al, 2008;Schaffers et al, 2009). In these studies, the lack of a good business model is considered to be a major possible roadblock to open innovation within living labs.…”

“…Businesses seem to get involved in LLs to have access to an intermediary, the LL itself, which allows them to open their innovation process and to find new applications and new paths for their technologies, inside or outside their organisation (Almirall and Wareham, 2008;Commission, 2009;Schaffers et al, 2009;Schuurman et al, 2013). Among other methods, this is achieved through the development and testing of products and services, with the LL becoming a strategic tool to collect data on users, and even competitors (Almirall and Wareham, 2008;Dutilleul et al, 2010;Leminen, 2013;Nyström et al, 2014).…”

“…The obstacles mentioned in our analysis all have to do with the question of intellectual property and the difficulty of transforming the experimentations taking place in the context of an LL into products and services that have market value (Schaffers et al, 2009). As a result, in both cases, businesses hesitate to join the partnership proposed by LLs and limit their financial investments in the partnership (Kommonen and Botero, 2009;Mulder et al, 2008).…”

Abstract Purpose -This paper aims to explore the role of private stakeholders in the living lab (LL) ecosystem and the relationship of private stakeholders to open innovation (OI) practices. There is extensive literature on private stakeholders and OI, but seldom mention is made on the specific question of how private stakeholders integrate OI in the context of a LL. Design/methodology/approach -The authors will analyze qualitatively how private businesses that have participated in a in situ open innovation evaluate and perceived their open innovation practices. Therefore, how they relate to open innovation. Then, the authors will identify a typology of the businesses in relation to OI. Findings -The research focused on the relationship of private stakeholders to OI in the context of in situ OI activities. The results obtained are consistent with literature on OI (Chesbrough, 2003). However, there are differences: if the elements mentioned by the respondents are described in literature, their representation of OI and its components allows us to affirm that this practice is not generalised and that it is often open to interpretation. That emphasises the importance of the role LLs can play as intermediaries to accompany private stakeholders in the OI process. Private stakeholders look for a guide to develop their OI know-how and find their way in the OI ecosystem. Originality/value -The value of this paper is to bridge the research on OI done with private organisation and the research on LLs. The research literature did not pay much attention to the representation of the private stakeholders in the OI ecosystem. This paper has provided the start to open up that field.
