Abstract

The objective of this paper is twofold. The paper initially, based on the findings drawn from in-depth expert interviews with Innovation Laboratory (InnoLab) facilitators in field settings, explores the structural and functional diversity of existing InnoLabs. As a result, a service-based taxonomy of InnoLabs and a catalogue of their differentiating characteristics are constructed herein. Subsequently, the paper builds theory towards the inter-InnoLab collaboration. In this context, at first, the potential benefits of inter-InnoLab collaboration for the participating InnoLabs and their customers are determined. Successively, a roadmap of inter-InnoLab collaboration is constructed encompassing the various possible degrees of mutual integration of InnoLabs.
