know-how, relationships, inventions etc. • Taking the starting point in the intellectual assets, however, also reveals the full complexity www.handels.gu.s e Knowledge economy - The change in perspective • Technology and modern society has already opened up the whole playing field • Some players are efficiently using it, of which some are also leading the further construction of it • Some are not • Utilizing the full potential requires the ability to make the perspective transition www.handels.gu.s e Knowledge Based Business – The evolution of business thinking, strategy and models The need for new infrastructure for leveraging knowledge, including: •management tools and capabilities, •access to a core profession focused on knowledge based entrepreneurship and innovation, •access to a support profession, •education and training. www.handels.gu.s e © 2010 CIP Professional Services 2 Open Innovation The challenge of creating, governing and sharing intellectual assets in networks www.handels.gu.s e From product to technology/knowledge focus Product The challenge of open innovation management Competitors Service Technology Technology-centric company - open innovation actor Key focus: Customers Technology management and governance Processes: Package technology as different value propositions to achieve: Development – technology licenses, R&D collaboration etc Leveraging – products, software, licenses, services etc Govern technology as part of relational networks and standards Develop, claim and control technology through patents and other control measures Govern and leverage technology to develop and shape markets Supplier network Internal development network Service providers Organization is open and network-based Other technology developers/providers www.handels.gu.s e Knowledge Based Business – The evolution of business thinking, strategy and models The need for new infrastructure for leveraging knowledge, including: •management tools and capabilities, •access to an professions focused on knowledge based entrepreneurship and innovation, •education and training. www.handels.gu.s e © 2010 CIP Professional Services 3 Knowledge Platforms The challenge of governing portfolios of intellectual assets and knowledge innovations www.handels.gu.s e Knowledge Based Business – The public-private challenge of creating knowledge platforms The Open innovation platform www.handels.gu.s e © 2010 CIP Professional Services 4 Early Innovation The challenge of governing and utilizing research www.handels.gu.s e The international business and university transformation pushes us into IP-behaviour • More or less all academic activities can be claimed as Intellectual assets • Licensing more than a tool to commercialize • Openness requires structural control • Capitalization increasingly possible in very early stages www.handels.gu.s e The challenge of governing an interface in transformation University and business are increasingly overlapping Academia Education Research results Publications • Education tools and teaching media • Research tools • Diagnostic tools • Production and development tools • System innovations • “Features” (elements in product concepts) • Control marks and quality stamps • “Content” • Databases and information collections • Open innovations and other platform innovations Industry Products Services www.handels.gu.s e The challenge of governing an interface in transformation University and business are increasingly overlapping Assets as valuable objects A University Education Research Publication Business P Property as objects in commercial transactions C Capital as objects in a financial machinery for value creation Products Services www.handels.gu.s e 4.
