Innovation : definition
Closed and open innovation and their intersection
Innovation is distinct from an invention or discovery to the extent that it is part of
an application perspective. The Oslo Manual of the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD) proposed the following definitions:
«Technological innovation of a product implies the maturation/
commercialization of a product with improved performance to provide
consumers with new or improved services. Innovation of a technological
process means the development /adoption of new or significantly
improved methods of production or distribution. It can induce changes
affecting – separately or simultaneously – the materials, the human
ressources or the working methodologies»[1].
These definitions can be extended to service activities and to the organization and
marketing in the recent forms of innovation[2]. Innovation distinguishes itself from
research. The latter is defined in the manual of Frascati. Innovation today is at
the heart of political economy of all big countries.

Innovation : fact
“...the world is becoming too fast, too complex and
too networked for any company to have all the
answers inside.”

Open Innovation: definition
Open innovation is…
« the use of purposive inflows and
outflows of knowledge to accelerate
internal innovation, and expand the
markets for external use of
innovation, respectively »
« a paradigm that assumes that firms
can and should use external ideas as
well as internal ideas, and internal
and external paths to market, as the
firms look to advance their
technology »

Open Innovation: facts
In fact...
We must no longer base ourselves solely
and primarily on our own research to
innovate and also not just rely on our own
market!
