Sticky info
Info that is difficult to transfer between two
Solution info
Technical knowledge how a need can be transformed into a solution
Local search
The look for solution information in your own technical domain based on previous experience
Problems of local search
Tunnel perspective
Mainly block the solver from finding the best solution
Methods to gain access to sticky need information
Market research Observing customers Find people with different knowledge More effective external search Broaden the breadth and width of search = open innovation
Open innovation - Henry chesbrough
Use of purposeful inflows and outflows of knowledge to accelerate innovation
Firms should use external ideas as well as external
Closed model of innovation
Innovation requires control
Companies must generate their own ideas that they would then develop, manufacture, market, distribute and service themselves
Heavy investment in r&d
Recruiting the best talent
Firm to market
Continued IP and provided barrier to entry
Reinvest profit into circle of innovation
(Closed model remember)
Factors eroding the closed model (changing market)
Rise in number and mobility of knowledge workers
Difficult for companies to control their propriety of ideas and expertise
Growing availability to private venture capital, which has helped to finance new firms and their efforts to commercialise ideas. Start up firms become competitors
Fast time to market making shelf life shorted
Growing recognition that ideas can also originate outside the firms
Collab between supplies, customers and competitors
SA’s involves the sharing of knowledge and resources which could be beneficial to all parties involved eg p&g oher 1000 partnerships
IBM and Cisco systems to develop security Sydney’s
Co creation with users
The era of open innovation (chesbrough)
Open innovation model
Open innovation principles
Not all the smart people for us
External r&d can create significant value, internal r&d is needed to claim some portion of that value
We don’t have to originate the research in order to profit from it
Build better model
Make best use of ideas, we win
Profit from other users IP
User innovation
Are forms of individual consumers that expect to benefit from using a novel product or a service they develop
Producer - innovators expect to benefit from selling the novel product or service they develop in the marketplace
Vonhippel
Users increasingly can now develop their own products
Trend seen in software and info products
Argues that manufacturers should redesign their innovation processes and that they should systematically seek out innovators developed by users
Sources of open innovation
Forums Crowdsourcing Platform Make call Ask people within uni/out of uni Social media Innocentive.com Nine sigma Quirky.com Threadless Ideation contests Atizo YourEncore
Ideation contests
Web based contests to generate ideas and concepts for new products, services or designs advertising a specific task
They are based on the crowdsourcing principle of an open call for participation ie. broadcasting a task widely and self-identify-ficiation of participants with either specific task, motivation or dedicated pre knowledge. Participants can be external or internal
Crowdsourcing for new product ideas
Crowdsourcing using an online community
Use of an open call format and a large number of labourers
-Starbucks has a blog format to leave ideas
