The Porto Design Factory and IKEA Industry joined forces to tackle a problem using what has come to be called a human-centered design approach. The case study provides an understanding of outcomes that reveal the potential of using a human-centered design approach to solve technical problems while enhancing customer experience. It also identifies the benefits that each institution gained by collaborating. The outcomes show that companies benefit from building interfaces with external partners, and that universities are relevant players in the innovation ecosystem, satisfying their third mission of being entrepreneurial institutions.10aco-creation10adesign thinking10aHuman-Centered Design10ainnovation10aME31010anew product development10aProject-based Learning10aUniversity-Industry Collaboration1 ada Silva, Tiago, Filipe Per1 aMarques, João, Paulo Coel  utimreview.ca/article/138502092nas a2200265   4500008004100000022001400041245010500055210006900160260004200229300001000271490000700281520126700288653001601555653002501571653002001596653003001616653003801646100001801684700002001702700001901722700001801741700001901759700001801778856003001796       2020                        eng d  a1927-032100aRapid Product Development in University-Industry Collaboration: Case Study of a Smart Design Project0 aRapid Product Development in UniversityIndustry Collaboration Ca  aOttawabTalent First Networkc03/2020  a49-590 v103 aUniversity-industry collaboration aims at mutually beneficial knowledge and technology exchange between higher education and business. Prototyping new products is one sweet spot where industry can gain new valuable knowledge and understanding of technology, while higher education institutions develop the skills and competences of students by encouraging them to work on authentic real-life problems. From the &ldquo;design thinking&rdquo; perspective, rapid product development can be defined as the creation of new products, in the shortest timescales possible, that meet the criteria of desirability, feasibility, and viability. This article addresses rapid product development by presenting a case study of developing prototypes in university-industry collaboration. As a result, the study highlights key design principles, such as the importance of involving teachers, business representatives, and students in collaborative project design, of focusing on the customers or service users who will benefit from the design, and of guiding students participating in co-creation activities. Presenting conclusions for both academics and the industry, the article contributes to design thinking and rapid product development in university-industry collaboration.10aco-creation10aCo-creation pedagogy10adesign thinking10aRapid product development10aUniversity-Industry Collaboration1 aJussila, Jari1 aRaitanen, Jukka1 aPartanen, Atte1 aTuomela, Vesa1 aSiipola, Ville1 aKunnari, Irma  utimreview.ca/article/133602228nas a2200217   4500008004100000022001400041245008200055210006900137260004200206300001000248490000700258520154600265653002201811653002501833653002801858653003801886653002101924100001801945700001701963856003001980       2020                        eng d  a1927-032100aThe Role of Academics, Users, and Customers in Industrial Product Development0 aRole of Academics Users and Customers in Industrial Product Deve  aOttawabTalent First Networkc03/2020  a60-690 v103 aIndustrial research and development (R&D) is often adopted as a leading strategy for innovation in high-technology firms. It has been recognized that collaboration with external actors has become increasingly crucial for R&D practices in a world where product and service innovation are increasingly challenging for companies involved in knowledge-intensive technology areas. Thus, high-technology firms are increasingly engaging in collaborative relationships with external stakeholders to transfer valuable new knowledge for industrial purposes, or to create new knowledge through a joint learning process. These external stakeholders may include research institutes such as universities, customer firms, or end users of the firm's products or services. Academic involvement in industrial innovation projects has traditionally focussed on the early stages of a product's development process, when new ideas and innovations are being developed. On the other hand, the interaction between a firm and its customers takes place during the final stages of the R&D process, when innovations are brought to market. In this paper, we explore how users and customers can be involved in university-industry collaboration projects from the beginning of the product development process. Based on a case study comprising five long-term university-industry collaborations in Finland, this paper presents collaborative practices through which academic actors, users, and industrial customers may actively take part in the industrial innovation processes.10acommercialization10acustomer involvement10astakeholder involvement10aUniversity-Industry Collaboration10auser involvement1 aKunttu, Leena1 aNeuvo, Yrjö  utimreview.ca/article/1337
