ABSTRACT Makerspaces (MS) are widely considered to be sites for democratizing innovation outcomes away from conventional commercial and educational agenda of the entrepreneurial and scientific elite towards a grassroots and inclusive agenda. However, MS can reproduce elite-driven innovation outcomes as much as it can transform such towards a grassroots agenda, as is most evident in developing country contexts. Based on comparative case research of 10 selected MS in the Philippines, this study examines the variation of innovation outcomes among MS. Cases selected represent the heterogeneity of MS innovation outcomes in both material and cultural terms. The study finds three types of innovation outcomes that are research-based projects and elite culture, commercial-oriented projects and service culture, and creative and grassroots projects and maker culture. It further finds that MS governance, as determined by variation in host organizations, MS capabilities, and cluster dynamics, shape innovation outcomes. It highlights that grassroots innovation outcomes are most effectively facilitated by MS independence, design capabilities, and diverse and high-skilled clusters. The study’s main contribution lies in its empirical exploration of the factors and dynamics that shape diverse innovation outcomes in MS. Policy implications for grassroots innovation are discussed.
ABSTRACT Makerspaces(创客空间)被广泛认为是实现创新成果民主化的场所,从传统的企业家和科学精英的商业和教育议程转向草根和包容性议程。然而,创客空间既可以复制精英驱动的创新成果,也可以将其转化为草根议程,这在发展中国家的环境中最为明显。本研究基于对菲律宾 10 个选定 MS 的比较案例研究,探讨了 MS 之间创新成果的差异。所选案例从物质和文化两方面代表了会员国创新成果的异质性。研究发现了三种类型的创新成果,即以研究为基础的项目和精英文化、以商业为导向的项目和服务文化,以及创意和草根项目和创客文化。研究还发现,由东道组织的差异、微型企业的能力和集群的动态所决定的微型企业管理塑造了创新成果。研究强调,会员国的独立性、设计能力以及多样化和高技能的集群能最有效地促进草根创新成果。这项研究的主要贡献在于,它以实证研究的方式探讨了形成成员国不同创新成果的因素和动力。研究还讨论了对基层创新的政策影响。

The potential of inclusive medical technological innovations to create access to a ff ordable and appropriate products and services for local healthcare systems in developing countries has emerged as a critical area of academic and policy debates. This research contributes to these debates by studying the key factors, actors and their interactions in fl uencing the development and adoption of three innovative diagnostic devices to resolve the healthcare needs of the local population in the Indian healthcare systems. It highlights the critical role of the state in in fl uencing the development and adoption of inclusive MedTech innovations in resource-constraint settings. It further reveals that the availability of fi nance facilitated the early-stage development of innovations. At the same time, collaborative arrangements with a diverse set of stakeholders contributed to late-stage development and adoption of innovations in the local healthcare systems. This research also expands on the conceptualization of inclusivity in the MedTech sector by providing a holistic interpretation of a ff ordability as reducing healthcare costs over a longer period through access to early diagnostics rather than the purchase cost of a product. These research fi ndings have signi fi cant implications for innovation and healthcare policies that can help to resolve the challenges of accessible healthcare in developing countries.
