Examples for this phenomenon exist amongst others in the sporting industry in which users of sporting goods are at the same time employed by manufacturers of these goods. In three consecutive studies Tim Schweisfurth explores how embedded lead users contribute to corporate innovation. He shows what factors foster the lead userness of employees and what characterizes embedded lead users? behaviors. Various implications for firms are discussed, e.g. with respect to leveraging user knowledge for innovation.  . 410 0$aForschungs-/Entwicklungs-/Innovations-Management 606 $aLeadership 606 $aManagement 615 0$aLeadership. 615 0$aManagement. 676 $a338.064 700 $aSchweisfurth$b Tim$01061972 701 $aHerstatt$b Cornelius$01763325 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438087503321 996 $aEmbedded lead users inside the firm$94203713 997 $aUNINA
