Abstract
Open Innovation scholars as well as practitioners are still struggling with the practical implementation of Open Innovation principles in different contexts. Within this paper, we explore the value of a Living Lab approach for open innovation in SMEs. Therefore, we conducted a comparative case study analysis of 27 SME projects conducted by iMinds Living Labs in the period 2011-2015. The results suggest that a real-life intervention and a multi-method approach, methodological characteristics of Living Labs, increase the chance of generating actionable user contributions for the innovation in development. Moreover, the results also suggest that a Living Lab project yields maximal value when evolving from concept towards prototype. Besides these exploratory findings, this paper also demonstrates that Living Lab projects are a perfect ‘playground’ to test and validate assumptions from the Open Innovation literature.
