Introduction and overview -- Development of products by lead users -- Why many users want custom products -- Users' innovate-or-buy decisions -- Users' low-cost innovation niches -- Why users often freely reveal their innovations -- Innovation communities -- Adapting policy to user innovation -- Democratizing innovation -- Application: searching for lead user innovations -- Application: toolkits for user innovation and custom design -- Linking user innovation to other phenomena and fields.

Summary: Users, aided by improvements in computer and communications technology, increasingly can develop their own new products and services. This title looks closely at this emerging system of user- centred innovation. It argues that manufacturers should redesign their innovation processes and systematically seek out innovations developed by users. Hippel points to businesses - the custom semiconductor industry is one example - that have learned to assist user-innovators by providing them with toolkits for developing new products.
