Special Issue on ActorNetwork Theory, Value CoCreation and Design in Open Innovation Environments

International Journal of Actor-network Theory and Technological Innovation, 2015

Value co-creation has emerged as a new innovation paradigm emphasizing that customers and end use... more Value co-creation has emerged as a new innovation paradigm emphasizing that customers and end users should be considered as active participants in the design and development of personalized products, services, and experiences. 1 It is based on the design and implementation of customer participation platforms, providing firms with the technological and human resources, tools, and mechanisms to benefit from the engagement experiences of individuals and communities as a new basis of value creation. According to the notion of co-creation, if a user or customer is involved in the design or production of a product or service, the end value will be enhanced for both, the customers and the firm, because of the opportunity for customers to creatively contribute to the design and innovation processes by tailoring the product according to their own personal visions. 2 Co-creation therefore refers to collaboration with customers for the purposes of innovation. Even though the end user is the ultimate destination of the value creation process, the interaction between designers/innovators and end users is not merely a bi-directional process since it incorporates the contingency of the activities performed by the different actors contributing to the emergence of customer value. The conceptualization of the contingent nature and the multiplicity of agency as well as the emergent nature of customer value have created challenges for design and innovation researchers requiring a deeper and more symmetrical understanding of the interaction between designers, innovators, customers and end users. As result, there is a need for a better understanding of the Copyright © 2015, IGI Global.

Exploring ANT in PD

Proceedings of the 12th Participatory Design Conference: Exploratory Papers, Workshop Descriptions, Industry Cases - Volume 2, 2012

The links between the two are multiple and offers multiple occasions to appreciate the relevance of ANT in PD. The workshop seeks contributions especially in three areas: ANT as a descriptive tool for PD, ANT as conceptual framework for PD theory and practice, and ANT and PD education.

Methods That Matter in Digital Design Research

Computer Supported Cooperative Work, 2010

The discussion of the methods used to capture the complexities of practices with a focus on social, cultural and economic layers represents an important resource for a discussion of designers' interpretative work with both traditional and new experimental methods. In previous chapters we have described our collaborative and multidisciplinary perspectives that are also mirrored in the methods we use in the exploration of practices. These practices are technical, organizational, knowledge-based and socio-cultural. Our aim is to explore and maintain the complexity in design as a mix of all of these. The chapter is structured in two parts; the first is processual and the second experimental. The first part starts with a discussion of what social science and humanities can contribute, followed by thoughts on reflexivity and methodological sensibility in digital design research. Then we move to a brief introduction of ethnographic analysis and its use in design research. Ethnography in participatory design (PD) and some aspects of participatory design are described, followed by concrete examples. New social media raise methodological challenges and also consideration of ethical aspects that appear in virtual or digital encounters. Further, technology or the digital becomes a more obvious actor as the site of the research or, rather, where to do the research is more ambiguous or unstable than in offline settings. Guiding principles for virtual or digital ethnography are presented and also discussed with practical examples in mobile communications and design experiments for digital engagement in museums. Methods employed in digital design research do not differ from design research in general, but in addition to this there is a need to develop new experimental methods. In the second part of the chapter we describe a set of experiments concerned with the design of physical and tangible digital systems, emphasizing the development of new practices. These experiments illustrate the use of creative and experimental methods that are playful and engaging: among them cultural probes and technology probes, as well as performative techniques for designing interactive installations. Finally, the importance of creating a rich design space and of 'having a sense of somewhere to go' (Heape 2007: 5) is addressed.

Further, the aim of Expand is to explore research methods suitable for participatory action research approaches to design-based studies of learning in science centers. This is a presentation of the research design of Expand in the first funding period 2011–2016.

Social Media and Community Involvement in Museums. A case study of a local history wiki community

The background for this study was to understand how web 2.0 and social media might open new possibilities for museums to collaborate with communities and lay professionals in cultural heritage knowledge creation. Digital technologies provide tools that in many ways overcome challenges of physical collaboration between museums and amateurs. But technologies also bring in new aspects of ordering, categorizing and systematizing knowledge that illuminates the different institutional as well as professional frameworks that writing local historical knowledge into digital forms in fact represents.
