Abstract
The paper reflects on research perspectives dealing with the incorporation of knowledge on use, users, customers and market in the entire innovation process. The point will be made that the support of user oriented innovation processes will have to deal with development of new approaches, methods and competences as well as methods for their implementation. The challenge will be to change existing perspectives on users in the product development process which calls for a reconceptualisation of the entire product development process emphasising the staging, framing and management of innovation.
