“…Moreover, six contributions consider the fact that innovation champions have considerable knowledge of the particular trade in which the organization operates (e.g., [22,40,57]). With this business and industryspecific knowledge, the innovation champion is more likely to succeed in implementing an innovation while, at the same time, catering to the attitudes and needs of the company as well as securing the competitive position of the organization [11,57].…”

Based on a systematic literature analysis, this paper takes stock of the current landscape of research on innovation champions from an individual and organizational perspective: 149 journals and conference proceedings were examined on the topic of innovation champions. 85 articles were identified as relevant and systematically categorized according to two perspectives by synthesizing enablers of innovation champions on the individual (e.g. skills) and organizational level (e.g. knowledge management). While our analysis illuminates a high variety of enablers that influence innovation champions, the descriptive findings show a stronger focus of innovation champion studies on individual level enablers. Our literature review points out the lack of research on negative individual characteristics (e.g. narcissism), on the innovation champion in the IS context and on formalized groups of innovation champions (e.g. organizational units).

“…These ideas can improve the productivity of new product/service development in rapidly changing fields, and the resulting products/services are more likely to become commercially successful (Hau & Kang, 2016). Some software and hardware companies have experimented with the concept of involving lead users in product development processes, such as Microsoft's Most Valuable Professional award program or Dell's Idea Storm community (Colazo, 2014).…”

Capturing valuable product/service improvement ideas is helpful for the development of new features. However, the existing methods for capturing such improvement ideas have the disadvantages of high cost, long time lag, information overload, and difficulty in getting a response. We propose an innovative framework based on lead user theory for capturing product/service improvement ideas from user‐generated content on social media (henceforth called “chatter”). To identify the chatter containing improvement ideas, we design a machine‐learning‐based imbalanced classification model. Additionally, we use text summarization technology to get a rough sense of improvement ideas from the selected chatter. We validate the proposed framework by a case study in the automotive industry. The results demonstrate that the ideas extracted by our framework are breakthrough innovative, useful, feasible, and adoptable.

“…However, currently there is a misperception that being successful in OSS is determined by programming skills [1]. This perception is promoted in how projects highlight programming-related metrics on their sites (e.g., number of lines of code, number of commits) and in how they determine advancement in roles (e.g., becoming a core member/maintainer, gaining commit access)-all code-centric concepts [2,3]. Academic research has also, perhaps inadvertently, added to this misperception, as past studies have largely been codefocused.…”

Success in Open Source Software (OSS) is often perceived as an exclusively code-centric endeavor. This perception can exclude a variety of individuals with a diverse set of skills and backgrounds, in turn helping create the current diversity & inclusion imbalance in OSS. Because people's perspectives of success affect their personal, professional, and life choices, to be able to support a diverse class of individuals, we must first understand what OSS contributors consider successful. Thus far, research has used a uni-dimensional, code-centric lens to define success. In this paper, we challenge this status-quo and reveal the multi-faceted definition of success among OSS contributors. We do so through interviews with 27 OSS contributors who are recognized as successful in their communities, and a follow-up open survey with 193 OSS contributors. Our study provides nuanced definitions of success perceptions in OSS, which might help devise strategies to attract and retain a diverse set of contributors, helping them attain their "pots of gold at the end of the rainbow".
