“…This combination of business model research with user research is one of the key assets within imec.livinglabs, but is rarely present in other living labs (see Rits et al, 2015). This is attained by starting all projects with a business model analysis to identify the key uncertainties, which enables the lab to tailor the user involvement activities and real-life tests towards filling these gaps, and by having multi-disciplinary teams of business and user researchers carrying out the projects (see also Schuurman et al, 2018). The experiential learning of user research and real-life field trials seems to provide actionable data that can be used as "evidence" for designing and iterating the business model.…”

“…Living Labs are an increasingly popular collaborative innovation approach that has received growing attention among innovation scholars, practitioners and policy makers [8][9][10]. Living Labs are often initiated and funded by policy makers with regional or national policy goals in mind [11], which positions them as "innovation intermediaries" filling the gap Sustainability 2021, 13, 791 2 of 25 between R&D and market introduction [12]. Living Labs provide a collaborative platform for private and public sector innovation [13][14][15] and include three separate but intertwined layers: the Living Lab organisation, the Living Lab project(s), and the individual Living Lab user and stakeholder activities [16].…”

“…Following Westerlund et al [10], this study considers Living Labs as platforms providing shared resources and bringing together a variety of private and public stakeholders to gather, create, communicate, and deliver new knowledge, validate existing products, services and processes, facilitate professional development and social impact in real-life contexts. Such platforms enable the co-creation process between universities, large organisations, Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), start-ups and users as well other stakeholders [12,17]. This complex network of organisations and individuals, often described as a public-private-people partnership, enables participation through diverse activities and methods [18][19][20].…”

Living Labs: From Niche to Mainstream Innovation Management

Living Labs have received increasing attention over the last decade. However, despite their growing popularity and ability to positively impact organisations’ innovation performance, mainstream innovation management literature has overlooked the diverse and promising Living Labs research landscape. In an effort to move the field forward, this study analyses extant Living Labs literature in the domain of innovation management. The study identifies conceptual bases informing Living Labs research, maps the collaboration between scholars in the field, examines prevailing themes influencing the debate and reveals the influence of Living Labs research on other domains. Bibliometric methods of co-authorship, keyword co-occurrence analysis as well as bibliographic coupling are employed on two databases. Database A includes 97 focal journal articles and Database B includes all cited sources of Database A, totalling 500 documents. This study reveals the rapid growth of the scholarly literature on Living Labs in the innovation management domain, driven by a core group of authors. However, other contributions from highly visible scholars have the potential to connect Living Lab research to mainstream innovation management studies. The study also identifies the influence of Living Labs research in different application fields and potential for its further evolution.

“…As factors that hinders scaling up, a lack of general consensus in a framework, a process and a definition has been pointed out [2], [6]. The lack of definition, for example, makes practitioners and decision makers feel living lab as an incomprehensible method in the immature stage.…”

Despite strong attention and wide ranges of practice, living labs have hardly scaled up for a decade as expected. For living labs as one of the innovative methods for social challenges in cities with high complexity and uncertainty, one of the critical challenges is in knowledge transfer of its practice. Practical tacit knowledge for living lab is often embedded within process, organization and operation, and hardly externalized. The inexperienced practitioners face a lot of uncertainty in implementation of living lab without clues where to tackle. Aiming at promoting the living lab practice widely, this paper investigates tacit knowledge externalization with three different representations. The analysis and comparison of external representations indicate a strong compatibility pattern between representation styles and practitioners' maturity level on the relevant field. In the living lab practice, how to convey tacti knowledge should be considered carefully, depending on practitioners' maturity level.
