Open Innovation

Blockquote "The Innovation Game has changed..." Companies that don't innovate die. This is one certainty your company faces in this complex world. But how should your company innovate? Rather than relying entirely on internal ideas to advance the business, open innovation leverages internal and external sources of ideas. Rather than restricting innovations to a single path to market, open innovation inspires companies to find the best business model - whether that model exists within the firm or with an external one. Based on the author's extensive field research, academic study, and professional experience Open Innovation calls for revolutionary organizing principles for managing research and innovation. Through rich descriptions of the innovation processes of Xerox, IBM, Procter & Gamble, and other firms (Intel etc.), Chesbrough shows you the principles of open innovation in practice. This highly acclaimed book shows how open innovation can unlock true value in your company's ideas and technologies. Henry Chesbrough is adjunct professor at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley. Blockquote [From the blurb]

What Hacker News says

The Open Innovation model described in the book by Henry Chesbrough was super charged by Open Source. I think moving out of the open source model is a mistake that would make things move slow for the ones not playing it. Nowadays, when I think in software that I have to build with and have no access to source, all I am reminded is the bureaucracy of dealing with licenses where a much preferable approach is to have payments for support disconnected from this. If this is really some way things will go, I wonder if someone will make standardized drm for software libraries. Honestly, I hope I don’t have to develop with these things.
