Explicating Open Innovation: Clarifying an Emerging Paradigm for Understanding Innovation

Henry Chesbrough, Marcel Bogers · 2014 · University of Southern Denmark Research Portal (University of Southern Denmark)

Summary. This paper clarifies the open innovation paradigm, defining it as a distributed innovation process involving purposively managed knowledge flows across organizational boundaries using both monetary and non-monetary mechanisms aligned with business models. The authors review academic literature since 2003, address critiques and divergent views on open innovation, and extend the research agenda by identifying new subjects and units of analysis for future investigation.
