“Resultados De La Innovación abierta” by Henry Chesbrough.
To gain added value from innovation, companies must open up their innovation processes and knowledge flows to generate new growth, revenue streams, and future business opportunities. Using numerous real-world examples, Chesbrough illustrates how many well-known methods of open innovation, such as crowdsourcing, open-source software, or innovation intermediaries, can and should be used in connection with the entire organization to achieve real long-term value.
