Lecture slides: Open Innovation

Open Innovation
Lecture slides

Open Innovation is a big and abstract concept. In the lecture, I delivered, I tried to make it as tangible as possible through involving a lot of stories and examples. A literature review from January 2023 by Ogink et al in Technovation was useful because they develop specific mechanisms through which open innovation happens.

  1. For the mechanism of Governance and politics, I talked about the role of patents as enablers of structured openness. The work by John Howells Inspired this section.
  2. For the mechanism of Environmental interaction, I talked about foresight network on the example of Deutsche Telecom described by Rene Rohrbeck in his work.
  3. Knowledge skills and capabilities: I talked about how partnering in digital manufacturing is enabled by digital capabilities and data being inspired by Jannis Kallinikos and his perspective.
  4. For the mechanism of Learning by doing: I talked about the role of prototypes as a boundary object for opening development to external participants. The case published by Marcel Bogers on prototyping in Danfoss provided a fantastic illustration.

The slides are available on slide share and I am happy to receive feedback.
