Open Innovation Results: Going Beyond the Hype and Getting Down to Business
We live in an age of exponential technology, but this is not so new. Indeed, technological innovation has been promoted so assiduously for so long that there is now a discernible pattern to its emergence known as the Gartner Hype Cycle. Open innovation is no exception. In this book Henry Chesbrough, the originator of open innovation, examines the hype behind its practice, shows where real results are taking place, and explains how companies can move beyond the hype to achieve real business results.
The book begins with an exponential paradox; new technologies are emerging at an accelerating rate, yet we continue to see stagnant wages and lagging production. These realities are hard to reconcile with the promise of exponential technologies. A closer look suggests that exponential advocates are paying too little attention to the broad dissemination and absorption of a new technology before it delivers real profit and social benefit.
To get valuable results from innovation, businesses must open up their innovation processes and finish more of what they start. They need to open their knowledge flows to generate new growth, and unused internal knowledge must flow openly to others to generate new revenue and future business opportunities. Many of the best known aspects of open innovation such as crowdsourcing, open source software, or innovation intermediaries are often not well connected to the rest of the organization. Using numerous real-world examples of these methods in practice, Chesbrough illustrates how they can, and must, be used in connection to the organization as a whole in order to have real long-term value.
Open Innovation Results offers a clear-eyed view of the challenges and realities that limit the ability of organizations to create and profit from innovation. Whether in the largest companies or in a small business, an advanced economy or a rural village, this book charts a course to enhance organizational growth and performance.

وقتی دانشجوی کارشناسی بیوتکنولوژی بودم، توی پایان نامه دانشجوها و تلاشهاشون برای مقاله دادن، به وضوح دره مرگی که توی این کتاب تشریحش کرده رو میدیدم. اون موقع نمیدونستم اسمش دره مرگه. فقط اعصابم از این همه تلاش بی حاصل به هم میریخت. میدونم مخاطب این کتاب بیشتر اهالی صنعت و کسب و کارن ولی ای کاش پژوهشگرا و دانشجوهای بیشتری این کتابو بخونن. کاش واحد دانشگاهی اختیاری داشتیم برای این جنس مفاهیم.
فصلهای آخر که نوآوری باز در سطح کلان و ملی رو بررسی کرده بود خیلی برام جالب بود. به نظرم اون فصل پتانسیل اینو داشت که یه کتاب مستقل باشه. اگر کتابی با این عنوان میشناسید ممنون میشم معرفی کنید.

مفهوم «نوآوری باز» بسیار موضوع قابلتوجه و جالبیه؛ حتی به نظرم در همهٔ سازمانها، نیاز به دپارتمانی داریم که با تمرکز بر کلیدواژههای نوآوری باز، این نگاه رو در فرهنگ و ساختار سازمانی، گسترش بده. من این کتاب رو به صورت گزیده، برای یک پژوهش خوندم اما بینشی به من افزود که به نظرم تمام پژوهشهای من از این به بعد، زیر چتر «نوآوری باز» قرار خواهد گرفت.

Hace poco entré al mundo de la consultoría y a pesar de que llevo bastante tiempo en el área de la innovación, el término de innovación abierta me era un poco ajeno. Con esa motivación es que busqué un libro que me pudiese introducir el tema y me permitiera obtener herramientas concretas para complementar mis conocimientos. El nuevo libro de Henry, para muchos el primer promotor de la innovación abierta, entrega los cimientos para entrar a este mundo, pero desde una mirada estratégica y organizacional. Si busca entender la motivación detrás de la innovación abierta (el por qué de su utilidad y popularidad) y conocer casos de estudios, este es el texto correcto. Si buscas herramientas concretas para aplicar la innovación abierta, es mejor buscar otras opciones. No obstante, creo que es un libro interesante y fácil de leer que trae varios aprendizajes que pueden ser aplicables a varios contextos.

Brilliant treatment on how Open Innovation can work
The father of open innovation does it again, explaining that it is not enough for organizations to generate new products and processes, but they must also disseminate innovation and ensure its absorption throughout the corporation.

Many interesting concepts and offerings directed at a future whose productivity growth is better aligned with the growth in technology. The author notes that productivity is lagging, badly, a concept he calls the exponential paradox.

A very interesting view on the chained implications of innovation, furthermore on open innovation. Implementation, dissemination and absorption, in a collective environment with high complexities and uncertainty.
