Employee-Driven Innovation: A New Phenomenon, Concept and Mode of Innovation

Abstract

The overall purpose of this chapter is to define the phenomenon employee-driven innovation and to unveil the nature of these innovation processes in the context of the workplace. This venture involves an investigation into the relations that link the worker, everyday practices in the workplace, work-place learning and employee-driven innovation. It is especially important to clarify the question: How do employees who are learning in the work-place produce innovation? Selected learning theories — linking workplace learning and employee-driven innovation — are presented and discussed to illuminate this question. The theories include both individual learning and organizational learning, and include classic theory as well as quite new theories presented in this volume. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
