The Social Organization of Innovation: A Focus on Stakeholder Interaction
Abstract
The RAAKS resource box provides theory, an introduction to the method, and a toolkit for team use. The book "The social organization of innovation" details RAAKS' foundation in scientific theory and development practice. The manual "Networking for innovation" addresses the method itself and gives a brief introduction to building a RAAKS team. The cards in the binder are the "windows" (guides that help open up new perspectives on the analysis) and "tools" (to help in gathering and processing information). Together, the manual and the cards provide a menu of field-tested methodological elements for teams to use in their explorations.
