The article provides an organizational model for living labs to order the activities that eventually will allow the conceptualization of living labs as innovation systems, thus giving user involvement a more central role in innovation process theories. This article shows how innovation networks systematically align their activities to reliably achieve their objectives. Next to this interpretivist theoretical contribution, the article contributes relevant practical insights to technology innovation management practitioners based on in-depth living lab cases that exhibit interesting, relevant, and new activities. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 5 %P 23-28 %8 09/2015 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/927 %N 9 %1 Center for Technology and Innovation Management (CeTIM) Bernhard Katzy is Professor of Technology and Innovation Management at University BW Munich in Germany and Leiden University in the Netherlands.
