Abstract :
The economy´s ongoing shift to user-centered innovation has some attractive qualities. Many users are finding it progressively easier to get precisely what they want by designing it for themselves. Innovation by users also provides a necessary complement to and source for novel products sold by producers. Users´ innovations also seem to increase the welfare of society.
