“…Taking this perspective a step further, researchers from the participatory design tradition frame problems and solutions as constructed and as resulting from negotiations of concerns during the design process (Pedersen & Brodersen, 2020). At the inter-organizational level, a key question raised in the negotiation literature on open innovation is how to provide value for all involved entities to increase the likelihood of integration and create a win-win scenario (Wuggetzer et al, 2010).…”

“…In comparison, those who adopt a design research perspective approach problems and solutions as interlinked pairs that co‐evolve during the design process (Dorst & Cross, 2001). Taking this perspective a step further, researchers from the participatory design tradition frame problems and solutions as constructed and as resulting from negotiations of concerns during the design process (Pedersen & Brodersen, 2020).…”

Open innovation has attracted significant attention as companies respond to increasing innovative complexities by opening their organizational boundaries to interact with stakeholders along the innovation funnel. However, knowledge from customers and users is not always easily translated into solutions that can be commercialized. Micro‐level challenges of open innovation projects that might be impeding commercialization remain under‐explored in the literature. To address this research gap, we use a collaborative staging approach inspired by actor‐network theory to focus on micro‐level negotiations of actors' concerns at the project level. Analysing data collected via ethnographic research and participant observation in a longitudinal qualitative case study, we investigate how managers and designers navigated value creation and capture when conceptualizing an app for hospitalized stroke patients. Our findings reveal an action‐oriented staging approach to collaborative open innovation efforts and selective enactment of business models depending on whether the focus is value capture or value creation. Furthermore, we point to a repertoire of staging moves that managers and designers can use to facilitate productive negotiations and network alignment as value creation opportunities co‐evolve and to conceptualize value offers in collaborative open innovation processes.

“…The processes and management in such collaborative projects are often rendered invisible when the project ends and the tacit practice knowledge in project collaboration remains implicit, or at best, embedded within the stakeholders. Both research and practice comprise significant hidden work, which is recognised in the notion of frontstage and backstage activities (Pedersen and Brodersen, 2020): frontstage activities are single events such as workshops and conferences, and backstage activities are the planning, negotiation and preparation that support these activities. In a participatory design process, objects circulated between the backstage and frontstage can act as intermediaries between different contexts and user groups.…”

PurposeThis paper explores the role and implications of action research (AR) in collaboration and knowledge production between academia and health practices, in a project on lighting and low-vision rehabilitation.Design/methodology/approachThis ethnographic inquiry has explored the methodological considerations and actions taken in a project collaboration using a framework of co-productive research approaches and the science- and technology-inspired concept of staging.FindingsThree trajectories of inquiry, a roadmap, a theoretical model and a conceptual drawing, are shown to be important elements in the translation, operationalisation and dissemination of knowledge. Beyond creating an extended network, their trajectories reveal a fine-meshed interrelation within the project group that enables spaces for joint reflection, improvisation and resonance. The elasticity of the AR approach supports several smaller iterative processes that expand the frame of innovation and prepare for implementation across the low-vision rehabilitation community.Research limitations/implicationsThis research provides insights into the knowledge production of multiple ontologies and epistemologies that are relevant to both social sciences and health sciences.Practical implicationsThe research unfolds otherwise hidden processes and implications of knowledge production.Social implicationsThis research enables and informs future collaborations to navigate and manage multiple complex realities.Originality/valueThe study provides unique perspectives of the practice of research collaboration and knowledge production that are useful for both academics and practitioners in many professional contexts.
