Abstract
Local innovation refers to the dynamics
of IK - the knowledge that grows within a social group,
incorporating learning from own experience over generations
but also knowledge gained from other sources and fully
internalized within local ways of thinking and doing. Local
innovation is the process through which individuals or
groups discover or develop new and better ways of managing
resources - building on and expanding the boundaries of
their IK.
