Abstract
En 中文
Over last few decades, innovation became one of the most meaningful resources for successful management. In order to spark invention, the first step of innovation, a number of methods have been introduced including hackathon. This paper evaluates 14 hackathons over a period of over 3 years from various perspectives and with an ethnographic approach and different research methods- observation, 36 semi-structured interviews and netnography. Material analysis has been performed with methods of grounder theory, as well as machine learning as a triangulation method. As a result, types and approaches of hackathon, together with a new empirical definition, ways of how this method mitigates drawbacks of brain storming and a unique relationship between concepts of preparation difficulty and likelihood of desired invention at the hackathon have been introduced and presented.
