Tuertscher's research investigates how collaborative innovation emerges through social practices and organizational mechanisms. His fingerprint reveals dominant expertise in Open Innovation (spanning Computer Science and Social Sciences), Innovation Processes, and Digital Product Platforms, with significant contributions to understanding knowledge integration in complex systems like CERN and community-driven innovation in Wikipedia/Linux ecosystems. Recent work increasingly addresses sustainability challenges through crowdsourcing and multi-stakeholder problem-solving.
His publication trajectory demonstrates consistent focus on collaborative innovation architectures, showing evolution from foundational studies of scientific collaborations (2014) to contemporary examinations of digital platform ecosystems (2021) and sustainable impact scaling (2020-2023). The work integrates management theory with practical applications in technology-intensive environments.
