Benefits of involving users in service innovation
Abstract
Past research has demonstrated that industrial customers can, in effect, bring about product innovation among their suppliers. However, little seems to be known as to whether consumers are also potential inventors of new services. Presents results from an empirical study with the objective of exploring whether ordinary users can contribute novel service ideas regarding mobile telephony. An experimental approach was used to compare the characteristics of new services suggested by ordinary users with services suggested by professional developers. It was found that the service innovations suggested by the users were more creative and useful than those suggested by the professionals. On the other hand, the suggestions of the professionals were deemed easier to produce. Concludes with a discussion on the contributions and limitations of user involvement, wherein the organisational role of the users involved is discussed. Also makes a proposal regarding how to further investigate the potential of the user as a co‐worker in the innovation process.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
