Abstract
Living Lab (LL) is an innovation platform through co-creation among users and other stakeholders. Existing LL studies have provided frameworks and guidelines for LL practices but not specific methods to manage the long-term and complex design process in an LL project. This study develops a self-assessment tool that supports the effective management of LL projects by assessing the state of LL projects and providing indications for adjusting and improving the design process. The evaluation results demonstrated that the tool is effective for LL project management, as it identifies points to be improved and facilitates introspective reflection on an LL project.
Living Lab (LL)是一个通过用户和其他利益相关者共同创造的创新平台。现有的LL研究为LL实践提供了框架和指导方针,但没有具体的方法来管理LL项目中长期和复杂的设计过程。本研究开发了一种自我评估工具,通过评估LL项目的状态,并提供调整和改进设计过程的指示,支持LL项目的有效管理。评估结果表明,该工具对LL项目管理是有效的,因为它确定了需要改进的点,并促进了对LL项目的内省反思。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning.
The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
