Table of Contents

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?

Submissions from academics, consultants and managers on OI and other innovation-related topics are strongly encouraged and should focus on the following (note there will also be a French language track on the same topics):

Commercialising and financing innovation 
Culture, social interaction & diversity management in innovation 
Education and training in innovation 
Entrepreneurship 
Innovation policy and competitiveness 
Learning and knowledge management in OI 
Managing collaborative R&D 
Managing IP and technology transfer in OI 
Managing, measuring and implementing OI 
Methods and tools for innovation 
OI value networks, clusters and business models 
Services and OI
