Articles over 10 years old are still in the top 10 recent downloads.
The topics are diverse: success factors, disruption, lead users, stage-gate process, crowd-sourcing, categories, and open innovation. I would say that four of the articles discussed user involvement in innovation.
The JPIM has multiple online resources, including:
- A YouTube channel with video summaries of articles
- The article website,
- LinkedIn Group,
- Twitter: @JournalPIM
