Reviewing the Theoretical Foundations of All-Involvement Innovation

Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive review of the theoretical foundations underlying the concept of all-involvement innovation. Through a systematic analysis of literature from various disciplines, including innovation management, organizational behavior, and entrepreneurship, the study identifies key theoretical perspectives and frameworks that contribute to our understanding of all-involvement innovation. The research explores theoretical sources such as open innovation, participatory innovation, user innovation, co-creation, and democratized innovation processes. Additionally, the study examines how these theoretical perspectives inform the principles, practices, and implications of all-involvement innovation, which emphasizes the involvement of diverse stakeholders, including employees, customers, partners, and communities, in the innovation process. By offering a comprehensive review of theoretical foundations, this paper aims to provide insights into the conceptual underpinnings and practical applications of all-involvement innovation for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in the field of innovation management.
