Reinventing R&D in an Open Innovation Ecosystem

Helmut Traitler, Heribert J. Watzke, I. Sam Saguy · 2011 · Journal of Food Science

Summary. The paper argues that modern innovation requires partnerships across universities, startups, and suppliers rather than isolated R&D efforts. It presents a 'Sharing-is-Winning' model for open innovation that aligns entire value chains around consumer needs. The authors provide ten recommendations for implementing this collaborative approach, including leadership changes, strategy shifts, and cultural transformation to accelerate sustainable co-development and improve innovation success rates.
