New web-based tools are transforming how technology companies manage innovation, R&D, production, customer service, and marketing to create an entirely new 21st century business model. Utilizing on-line resources that are readily and inexpensively available to any sized company, organizations as diverse as Google, Cisco Systems, Proctor & Gamble, Hasbro Toys, NASA and the Department of Defense have demonstrated faster time to market, reduced cost, and superior quality products and services that are specific to customer requirements.

Web-based tools such as Cloud Computing, Crowdsourcing, self-forming communities, and social networking are forcing an evolution in traditional corporate structures fueled by the interconnectivity of like-minded individuals. Eric von Hippel, the head of the Innovation & Entrepreneurship Group at MIT’s Sloan School, calls this User Innovation Communities.

This short course will present case studies demonstrating the successful implementation of User Innovation Communities.
