How would you describe innovation?
Innovation is…
Innovation is…
• “The successful exploitation of new ideas” (UK Department of Trade and Industry. 2004)
• “A tool by which entrepreneurs exploit change as an opportunity for a different business or service.” (Drucker, P. 1985)
• “Not just coming up with good ideas but the process of growing them into practical use. ”
• “ Not the same as invention. Invention is turning cash into ideas and innovation is turning ideas into cash.” (Hacklin and Wallin, 2012)
• “A new good, new quality of a good, new method of production, entering a new market, finding a new source of supply, a new organization of industry or a new combination of recourses.” (Schumpeter)
• Needs to be actionable to create sustainable value.
Innovation is not a linear process but it is dynamic and constantly needs to be evaluated and changed.

Question
What is the difference between invention and innovation according to you?
Innovation versus invention
Invention is creating ideas out of money while innovation is creating money out of ideas.
Example: Thomas Edison and the light bulb. (Bessant, J. & Tidd, J., 2009)
How would you describe Open Innovation?
Open Innovation is…
Open Innovation is…
A strategic tool to explore new growth opportunities at lower risk1
A managerial answer to globalisation.2
More about increasing R&D options than replacing existing ones. External technological collaboration is complementary to internal R&D investments.1
Open technology sourcing offers higher flexibility and responsiveness without necessarily incurring huge costs1
A mix of approaches: technologies purchased from other companies, acquired through licenses, partnerships and alliances or developed internally1
Large companies are four times more likely to collaborate for innovation activities than SMEs1
There are 4 types of openness of innovation: revealing, selling (from inside the firm to outside), sourcing and acquiring(from outside the firm to inside).
Example: P&G is developing 50% of innovations with external partners3

PS: Open Innovation does NOT mean free like i.e. in open source
Open Innovation is…?
Open Innovation can be best characterized as a …1 OI is rapidly changing
and there is a growing gap between theory and practice.

Why being open?
• Basically this is a synergetic way for companies to share their once guarded ideas with organizations and individuals outside the company to accelerate the innovation process*.
• Open innovation allows companies to talk with other companies or customers during an earlier stage of development and to even include them in the product or service formation stage*.
• This allows the companies to afford the ability of not only innovating faster but also saving resources on guesswork so that they can make the improvements that will matter most to their customers*.

Why Open Innovation?
20
Closed Innovation is focussed too much on who solves the problem rather than how the problem is solved, while OI makes use of the talent everywhere inside and outside the organization.
OI makes use of the diversity these different perspectives offer.
Example: Oil problem solved by concrete industry
Why Open Innovation?
21
450 articles 136 scientific journals show an intensive discussion of OI
“The ability to innovate and launch successful products is critical for competitiveness.” (Chesbrough, 2003)
“As the emphasis for many firms is on the inbound OI process, new methods have been emerged and are being tested for the acquisitions of ideas and technology” (Mortara, L. 2011)
“Current research on OI in SMEs is limited and is not revealing the creative use of OI that SMEs are implementing” (Vanhaverbeke, 2012)
77% of the survey respondents (229 OI decision makers) believe that OI is an essential mandate and key to long-term success. (Forrester Report by InnoCentive, 2012)
Why Open Innovation?
Open Innovation is an approach for Innovation Management1.
Open Innovation…
allows to acquire, integrate and process external information more efficiently and effectively.
supports organizations to overcome local search bias, acquire precise information needs and innovate more successful and cost efficiently.
creates new forms of interacting and collaborating with the external environment including potential actors (beyond suppliers, customers, universities etc.).
requires working with external parties, because not all talent and knowledge is in your company. Boundaries between firm and environment are broken down so the company can develop both its own ideas and those of external parties more input and thus higher chance on success.
221The Market for Open Innovation, F. Piller, K. Diener, 2010
How to apply Open Innovation?
OI requires a system to formulate problems and opportunities into concrete challenges and then bring them to the right audience.
OI is managing and reducing of uncertainties by accessing and transferring different types of information:
Customer and market needs: Builds on in-depth understanding of customers’ requirements, operations and systems.
Technological solutions: Solution information addresses the efficiency of the innovation process and enables product developers to engage in more directed problem-solving.
Question? Which approach is more successful; Push or Pull?231The Market for Open Innovation, F. Piller, K. Diener, 2010
Top 5 OI companies*
• GE, Philips, Lego, Unilever, General Mills
• >Lego:– The household building company has a strong open
innovation program, including their partnership with Cuusoo.
– Cuusoo itself is a platform for open innovation and LEGO integrate this crowdsourcing platform with great success.
– With the current program for the creation of a product it requires 10,000 votes.

Challenge Driven Innovation?
What do you think Challenge Driven Innovation is?
Can you give examples?
251The Market for Open Innovation, F. Piller, K. Diener, 2010
Challenge Driven Innovation
• The company publishes a challenge that everyone can try to solve
• Challenges are more concrete than ideas.• The company pays per performance rather than for trial
and error, which saves money. • CDI is time saving• CDI proves that not all talent has to work for you, as long
as they want to work with you. • Allows for applying solutions of other industries (i.e. cheese
cutting techniques for cutting tires) • Better problem solving with the same amount of staff or
less staff
261The Market for Open Innovation, F. Piller, K. Diener, 2010
How to apply CDI?
• External talent gets involved for fun, purpose or passion, so these motivations need to be addressed
• CDI requires an external talent strategy to attract the right “problem solvers”
• The company needs to create a “common language” between internal and external talent
• The company needs to build an external “talent community”
271The Market for Open Innovation, F. Piller, K. Diener, 2010
Innovation Contests
CDI often results in Innovation Contests (IC); the generation of input for all stages of innovation process, usually done via searches for innovative approaches to a technical problem within a wide range of problem solvers
ExamplesEEN www.enterprise-europe-network.ec.europa.eu NineSigma www.ninesigma.com InnoCentive (Eli Lilly spin-out) www.innocentive.comI-Prize (CISCO Systems, 2 rounds, 2000 ideas collected, price: 250k$)AUTOHARVEST www.autoharvest.org focus on automotive and manufacturing
28L. Mortara et al, 2011
Innovation Contests
ICs are idea competitions that source and exploit technologies. Large companies have the capacity to organise ICs
independently, SMEs more often use Intermediaries like EEN, NineSigma, InnoCentive, yet2.com, etc.
ICs are need driven! This is more successful than a push
approach.
ICs are not new, they are known and used since 18th century1
Most OI services are based on online crowdsourcing. Example: www.Threadless.com

The driving force
SMEs participate sooner, move faster and adapt more readily to opportunities1.
Increased R&D activities of SMEs make them attractive as technology receiver and solution provider.
Being a partner of choice in your industry is increasingly important and innovation can help to achieve this
321H. Chesbrough, 2010
OI in academia
To evaluate the importance of OI for acedamia1 participant of a survey were asked to determine the importance of OI within Innovation Management.

Industry examples
Five large enterprise (17k-287k employees) Idea Contests and one OI agency were analysed from the USA, UK and France, covering ICT, Telecomm, Consumer Goods and Conglomerate.
Three examples are in-house and three by external Intermediaries, all addressed SMEs as participant targets beside start-ups and students.
Between 700 to 72,000 participants were attracted and between 72 and 3,844 ideas submitted. In three cases, 0 to 12 technologies were acquired after the second round.
IC organisers list as main target: Technologies acquired, market intelligence, technology intelligence, competitor intelligence, publicity (PR), access to people and testing opportunity.

NineSigma, May 2012
Conclusions
IC is a great tool for SMEs if possible (dis)advantages are known from the start.
IC sources technologies and ideas at several levels of maturity to be used by current and new businesses.
The efficiency of new inputs compared to the number of ideas posted is sometimes questionable.
Engagement of intermediaries helps SMEs to outsource work to experienced players, but solutions may be limited by the imagination of the intermediary.
ICs improve the pace and smoothness of the acquisition process significantly and reduce part of the acquisition risk i.e. lawsuits.
To keep OI momentum going, rapidly proving value through quick (i.e. 6 month) trials/pilots is essential.
The role beyond acquisition is often forgotten but can be successfully used, especially by large companies.
Costs benefit calculation cannot be easily given, since secondary outcomes can outnumber original targets.
