Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to deepen understanding of
innovation practices in the co-creation of sustainable
solutions within manufacturing networks. Based on action
research within one manufacturing network, we explore how
network mapping, business model archetypes and LCC tools
can be utilised in order to co-create a sustainable
solution. The paper contributes to the current
understanding about innovation practices in the
co-creation of sustainable solutions within a practical
case study, describing the joint learning process between
company representatives and researchers. The tested tools
as well as the joint innovation process enabled the
actors to understand better the consequences of their
choices and actions on the social, economic and
environmental systems they are part of.
