An integrated sustainable approach, based on peer production and collaborative product development, to deliver commercial products: an entrepreneurial opportunity

The aim of the research is to provide empirical support for the adoption of an integrated sustainable approach, based on peer production and collaborative product development, to deliver cheaper competitive commercial products. The experimental study is conducted in the context of mobile forensics, a growing market where few expensive products are present. The economic and technical feasibility of the prototype developed, validate the proposed approach, which could be a game changer in the mobile forensics as well as in other sectors, offering entrepreneurial opportunities and promoting an innovative and sustainable methodology to deliver marketable products, towards the paradigm of Open Sustainable Innovation. While the device developed and tested in this research has similar features to existing products, the methodology, implementation and motivation are original.
