This study investigates the progress of Living lab research over time. It explores its current trends, along with methods and tools used by Living labs for user involvement. By employing a two-step approach, the study first presents a bibliometric analysis of 535 publications, including detection of convergence towards areas like the aging problem of societies, smart cities, Urban Living labs, and overall sustainability. Urban Living lab clusters have been growing rapidly and forming their own research domain. Subsequently, a review of 42 empirical papers explores the methods and tools adopted by Living labs for user involvement during the innovation process. We categorize the methods into the following eight groups: 1) Structured interaction, 2) Flexible interaction, 3) Extended network, 4) Special actors, 5) Learning and engaging, 6) Design approaches; 7) Techniques, 8) Operational guidelines. The study contributes both to theoretical and practice-oriented Living lab research and offers potential support especially to practitioners.10abibliometric analysis10aco-creation10aliterature review10aLiving lab10auser involvement1 aHuang, Judy, Hong1 aThomas, Elisa  utimreview.ca/article/146702046nas a2200205   4500008004100000022001400041245010400055210006900159260004200228300001000270490000600280520141500286653001801701653002101719653001701740653002001757653000801777100001801785856003701803       2018                        eng d  a1927-032100aFrom Closed to Open Innovation in Emerging Economies: Evidence from the Chemical Industry in Brazil0 aFrom Closed to Open Innovation in Emerging Economies Evidence fr  aOttawabTalent First Networkc03/2018  a26-370 v83 aIn this article, we examine how firms in an emerging economy perform research and development (R&D) activities in regards to the concept of open innovation. Most literature on open innovation shows multinational knowledge-intensive firms with well-established R&D processes mainly in developed countries. Searching for management contributions for firms in emerging economies, we qualitatively analyzed two chemical firms in Southern Brazil that have different profiles and are representative samples of typical firms in the region. Our results show that firms did not fully exploit the potential benefits brought by open innovation, even when complete opening was not the main goal. The firms were similar concerning interactions with partners and stages where relationships occur. The generation of ideas was an open activity performed both by firms and by clients, and interactions with universities were getting stronger. On the other hand, intellectual property has not been used as means of profiting from innovation activities. Our main finding refers to the internal mediation of relationships with partners. R&D teams rarely contact external organizations directly; instead, they leave such interactions to other departments within their firms. Relationships with clients are mediated through technical and commercial departments, and interactions with suppliers are intermediated by the supply staff.10acollaboration10aemerging economy10aintermediary10aOpen innovation10aR&D1 aThomas, Elisa  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/1144
