Open Innovation

Open Innovation

Open innovation involves obtaining innovative ideas from both internal and external sources, such as employees, partners, and other stakeholders. This practice has become popular in various industries and is seen as a cost-effective alternative to traditional research and development teams. It can be categorized based on the type of human resource inclusion, such as intracompany, intercompany (corporate accelerator), experts of the industry, or open to public. Many multinational companies, such as Samsung, NASA, GE, and Philips, have successfully implemented open innovation to develop new and innovative products, solve world problems, and connect with experts and entrepreneurs. MIT ID Innovation offers courses on innovation management and design thinking, which can help individuals understand the open innovation process and become assets in their organizations.
