      abstract = {This book shows the patterns of the fuzzy front end of  innovation and how it can be managed successfully. Topics  in this book cover traditional instruments and processes  such as technology monitoring, market-oriented research  management, lead-user developments, but also modern  approaches such as frontloading, user community-driven  innovation, crowdsourcing, anthropological expeditions,  technological listening posts in global R & D settings,  cross-industry innovation processes, open innovation, and  IP cycle management. Contributions are based on latest  research and cases studies on this new paradigm. The  authors investigate this phenomenon, linking the practice  of the early innovation phase to the established body of  innovation research. Conceptional articles will be  complemented by case studies of selected firms with  successful practices in managing the fuzzy front end of  innovation. Lessons learned with success factors and  checklists complement each chapter.},
