Innovation: A question of Fit. The Living Labs approach

In recent years Living Labs have managed to draw a significant amount of attention to both their methodologies and organizations. Because of that, a significant amount of effort has been diverted to its understanding. However, very little in assessing its contribution and comparing it to existing methodologies. This work aims to cover that gap by summarizing the most common European Living Labs methodologies and positioning them in the user-contributed innovation methodology landscape. And by doing that, assess their merits and appropriateness together with policy implications.
