Democratizing Innovation : Video Lecture

This Lecture By Eric Von Hippel  and brought to you by MITWORLD.

If you have ever come up with a work-around or improvement for a balky product only to find that it performs better than the original, you are not alone. Eric von Hippel proffers multiple examples where an ordinary user, frustrated or even desperate, solves a problem through innovation. His research found innovative users playing with all manner of product: mountain bikes, library IT systems, agricultural irrigation, and scientific instruments. Often, manufacturers keep at arm’s length from these inventions. He describes the Lego company “standing like a deer in headlights” when technologically adept adults discovered they could design their own sophisticated Lego robots. User communities arise, freely communicate with each other, advance ideas and sometimes even “drive the manufacturer out of product design,” according to von Hippel. This widely distributed inventing bug is a good trend, believes von Hippel, because users “tend to make things that are functionally novel.” Not only is it “freeing for individuals” but it also creates a “free commons” of product ideas, parallel to the more restrictive world of intellectual property governed by less creative manufacturers.

DEVELOPMENT AND THE INFORMATION AGE
Four Global Scenarios for the Future of Information and Communication Technology

Edited by J. Howkins and R. Valantin
(for IDRC and the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development)

IDRC 1997

Around the world, new information and communication technologies are increasingly affecting societies and their governments, industries, communities, and individuals. The Information Revolution is producing astonishing transformation in virtually all spheres of human activity. But how can these technologies help to balance the scales of development between the countries of the “industrialized” world and those of the “developing”world? Indeed, will they narrow the existing gap, or will they widen it?

In June 1996, experts from around the world gathered to debate these questions. By thinking the unthinkable and asking the unaskable, four scenarios were envisioned. The March of Follies, Cargo Cult, Netblocs, and Networld present distinct futures with different measures of cooperation, protectionism, and preparedness, and they provide a stark and realistic view of the relationship between the new information and communication technologies and the goal of global sustainable and equitable development.

Development and the Information Age offers a glimpse into the future of the Information Age. Its brevity and clarity will appeal to all readers interested in development issues and the new information technologies, and will particularly inform policymakers, academics, students, and practitioners in development and information technology worldwide.
