Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project has examined the following three issues from quantitative and qualitative researches to discuss the theory how to catch user innovation(UI)into open innovation of companies; (1) Industries that user innovation happens frequently, (2) Motivations of user innovation in each industry, (3) Diffusion of the innovation in the industry.
Important findings of our research are these; (1) UI happens frequently in the manufacturer, agriculture and mining industries compared with other industries, (2) UI might happen in the industries; High degree of maker's oligopoly and globalization and new entrant users from other industries, (3)Many of these innovation are useful for other users in the same industry, (4)These innovations have not diffused in the industries.
