Open Innovation
From the Open Innovation Forum’s perspective open innovation involves all aspects
of creating new business opportunities by engaging end-users in co-creative
activities. Web 2.0 technologies has caused electronic collaboration to evolve, hence
paving the way for companies to invite customers and employees to be involved in
the refinement of their offerings. Ideally open innovation will create win-win
situations where users get services that are more oriented to their needs and
organizations will offer services that are more desired by the market.
