Innovation supports for small-scale development in rural regions: a create, build, test and learn approach

Johan Lugnet, Åsa Ericson, Johan Wenngren · 2020 · International Journal of Product Development

Summary. Small rural manufacturers face resource constraints that limit innovation despite needing it to survive market downturns. This paper presents a support toolbox designed to help these firms develop new products through learning cycles and communicative prototyping. The approach formalizes their existing trial-and-error methods while building organizational learning capabilities into early-stage product development work.
