Open Innovation in Sport Communities: Survey by MIT and Copenhagen Business School

A research program initiated by the MIT Sloan School of management and Copenhagen Business School (Denmark) seeks to study open innovation in sport communities. They want to better understand how individual kayakers contribute to the development of the sport and to the development of the whole industry by their innovative ideas and contributions. Please help by completing their ten minute survey at http://www.kayakingsurvey.org/

It would also be helpful if you know kayak innovators who are not online by providing them a paper copy of the survey. The researchers are particularly interested in covering the entire history of the sport since the 1940’s. Both Word and PDF files are available at http://www.theriverchasers.com/theriverchasers_005.htm. The responses can be returned via email or regular mail.
