Abstract

This book contains many different kinds of views concerning practice-based innovation and various issues related to it. It touches upon many ‘levels’ in the discussion of innovation. This was a deliberate choice; it reflects our view and experience that innovation policies and activities suffer from a lack of bridging of structural holes and of utilisation of distances. The chapters in this book thus range from philosophical considerations concerning pragmatism to very concrete examples of practice-based innovation in, for instance, a care home for elderly people. Innovation is still often treated as something ‘noble’, but without bridging various structural holes between innovation researchers, practitioners, and authorities, inter alia, true understanding concerning means, challenges, and opportunities related to innovation is lacking. This is especially important in the context of practice-based innovation. In the Introduction (Chapter 1)
