Description
In his landmark book Open Innovation, Henry Chesbrough demonstrated that because useful knowledge is no longer concentrated in a few large organizations, business leaders must adopt a new, โopenโ model of innovation. Using this model, companies look outside their boundaries for ideas and intellectual property (IP) they can bring in, as well as license their unutilized home-grown IP to other organizations.In Open Business Models, Chesbrough takes readers to the next stepโexplaining how to make money in an open innovation landscape. He provides a diagnostic instrument enabling you to assess your companyโs current business model, and explains how to overcome common barriers to creating a more open model. He also offers compelling examples of companies that have developed such modelsโincluding Procter & Gamble, IBM, and Air Products.
In addition, Chesbrough introduces a new set of playersโโinnovation intermediariesโโwho facilitate companiesโ access to external technologies. He explores the impact of stronger IP protection on intermediate markets for innovation, and profiles firms (such as Intellectual Ventures and Qualcomm) that center their business model on innovation and IP.
This vital resource provides a much-needed road map to connect innovation with IP management, so companies can create and capture value from ideas and technologiesโwherever in the world they are found.
