A Framework Based on Sustainability, Open Innovation, and Value Cocreation

The MDPI website posted a paper which deals with a case study in an Italian maritime cluster seen through a multiple paradigms framework, based on Sustainability, Open Innovation, and Value Co-creation . The proposed theoretical framework helps to interpret a true phenomenon consisting of the design of a new product with a prototype created in a network of multiple actors.  The prototype was realized through open innovation aimed at sustainability, not only directed at environmental aspects but synergistically with value cocreation, which emerged from interaction among the actors, while also including social and economic aspects. The work concludes with a discussion of theoretical implications related to the proposed framework and the results that emerged from the case study, with both referring to sustainability, open innovation, and value cocreation.
