The concept of Open Innovation (OI) has emerged from concerns related to
the costs and efficiency of R&D efforts. OI seeks to improve R&D by
leveraging external relationships such that costs are shared and new
revenues can be generated through new resource combinations. OI
raises some fundamental managerial and research questions, such
as: How OI is best adopted and what are the implications for change
management and HR? What management and cultural issues does OI raise
both within and across organisations? How are partner search and
selection, relationship definition and management best approached? What
is the impact on knowledge management, learning and risk management?
Which IP, licensing and spin-off and revenue generation strategies are
relevant? And what impact does OI have on SMEs and university-industry
relations?

consultants and managers on OI and other innovation-related topics are
