This paper will explore how the often illegal activities of hackers (employed in the original usage of the term to refer to individuals who modify computer hardware and software) may produce valuable innovations. The paper argues that structural changes, including a growth in the number of knowledge workers, has resulted in a burgeoning community of users able to modify or hack existing products, or develop products that compete with existing suppliers and explores how firms react to this activity and provide case studies of this phenomenon. The paper will also argue that Outlaw Innovation represents an extension in the understanding of the way in which firms interact with users and presents a promising area for further research.
