Abstract

Open innovation describes an innovation process that spans across the boundaries of an organization or research and development (R&D) department. It integrates different types of innovators to generate creative ideas and innovation concepts, regardless of their institutional affiliations. The purpose of this article is to describe underlying mechanisms and different strategies for realizing open innovation. It presents three types of innovators and their functions in innovation endeavors and introduces five tools that facilitate open innovation. Finally, challenges and core tensions are discussed as a basis for the successful management of strategic open innovation initiatives. Notification: This article bundles knowledge from the research project “Open-I: Open Innovation within Organizations”. It is funded by the federal ministry of research and education (BMBF) and the European social fund (ESF) (support code 01FM07053 and 01FM07054).
