What are the advantages of the open innovation model?

The advantages of open innovation model include openness and high efficiency.

Open innovation is to open the traditional closed innovation mode of enterprises and introduce external innovation ability. Under the open innovation, when enterprises expect to develop technologies and products, they can and should borrow external research capabilities just like using internal research capabilities, and they can and should use their own channels and external channels to expand the market in the same innovative way.

Note: Open innovation is a term, which is used to promote the development of the thinking mode in the information age to an innovative direction that is opposite to the traditional secrecy and isolated island thinking of the company's research laboratory. As early as 1960, people have noticed and discussed the benefits and driving forces of increasing openness, especially in R&D cooperation between enterprises.

Henry Chesbrough, associate professor and dean of Haas Business School's Center for Open Innovation, especially advocated using the word "open innovation" to refer to the increasingly popular external cooperation in the complex world. He teaches at the University of California, and Mel Tecnemont is the chairman of Louis Open Innovation.

The term was originally called "a paradigm, which assumes that enterprises can and should use external concepts, internal concepts and internal and external market paths when seeking technological progress." Recently, it was defined as "distributed innovation process, which is based on purposefully managing the knowledge flow across organizational boundaries and using monetary and non-monetary mechanisms that conform to the business model of the organization".

This new definition recognizes that open innovation is not only company-centric: it also includes creative consumers and user innovators. The boundary between the enterprise and its environment becomes easier to penetrate; Innovation can be easily transferred inward and outward between enterprises and other enterprises and between enterprises and creative consumers, thus affecting consumers, enterprises, industries and society.
