Open Innovation Model and Open Source Software: The Sources of Increasing Returns.

How Open Innovation Models Might Help the Thai Energy Sector to Address the Climate Change Challenge? - A Conceptual Framework on an Approach to Measure the Impact of Adoption of Open Innovation

“…The conceptual framework of open innovation has been widely applied in both macro and micro levels with a view to overcome a limitation of closed innovation system (Almirall and Casadesus-Masanell, 2010); (Barge-Gil, 2010); (Chesbrough, 2006a;. It has been demonstrated through various studies in several sectors that open innovation can accelerate the process of creating innovation through a better managing of the inflow and outflow knowledge (Chesbrough, 2010); (Dahlander et al, 2008); (Dreyfuss, 2011); (Giarratana and Luzzi, 2009); (Hakkim and Heidrick, 2008); (Harison and Koski, 2010); (Huang, 2011); (Lichtenthaler, 2009). This research is therefore initially developed around the benefit of adopting open innovation as well as the approach to gain knowledge from both private and public initiatives.…”

“…Such activities require a usage of both internal and external knowledge in developing those innovations to be launched consistently and successfully. Several researchers have identified that relying on closed innovation system to create innovation is insufficient and no longer sustainable for a knowledge intensive sector in particular, for instance food, pharmaceutical, software, biotechnology, telecommunication, and energy sectors (Bianchi et al, 2010); (Giarratana and Luzzi, 2009); ( Hakkim and Heidrick, 2008); (Huang, 2011); (Lichtenthaler and Lichtenthaler, 2009); (Lööf and Heshmati, 2006); (Sarkar and Costa, 2008). The open innovation model, proposed by Henry Chesbrough in 2003, has been frequently applied to offer a more effective approach in generating innovation by using internal and external knowledge.…”
