Description
The concept of open innovation has been an emerging trend in business and research in recent years. The work of Henry Chesbrough and others in the academic community galvanized the concept that innovation is a fluid rather than formulaic process. As a result of popular writing, the topic of open innovation has seen a marked increase in research on the application of this popular theory.
Despite the extensive literature on the topic along with market interest on the parts of the academic and business community, the idea of open innovation is still under development in a practical sense. The IC² Institute organized the conference for practioners and academicians exploring both the reality of open innovation initiatives in practice along with emerging academic models of innovation which could prove to be the next engine for innovation practice.
One of the areas of innovation often ignored in conferences and research is the journey of a basic idea: whether business model, technology or general notion, from the mind of an innovator into reality.
