"It is defined as 'a distributed innovation process based on purposively managed knowledge flows across organizational boundaries, using pecuniary and non-pecuniary mechanisms in line with the organization's business model'."
"It also includes creative consumers and communities of user innovators."
"Innovations can easily transfer inward and outward between firms and other firms and between firms and creative consumers, resulting in impacts at the level of the consumer, the firm, an industry, and society."
"The central idea behind open innovation is that, in a world of widely distributed knowledge, companies cannot afford to rely entirely on their own research, but should instead buy or license processes or inventions from other companies."
"Inbound open innovation refers to buying or licensing processes or inventions, while outbound open innovation involves taking internal inventions not being used in a firm's business outside the company."
"The open innovation paradigm can be interpreted to go beyond just using external sources of innovation such as customers, rival companies, and academic institutions, and can be as much a change in the use, management, and employment of intellectual property."
"It is understood as the systematic encouragement and exploration of a wide range of internal and external sources for innovative opportunities, the integration of this exploration with firm capabilities and resources, and the exploitation of these opportunities through multiple channels."
"Open innovation can be analyzed at the level of the company, inter-organizational level, intra-organizational level, extra-organizational level, and at industrial, regional, and societal levels."
"Recent studies have also started to explore Open Innovation at the individual level (decision-makers, managers, or entrepreneurs), its Human Side, and how companies' decision-makers frame the choice between implementing Open Innovation or more traditional approaches to innovation."
"Open innovation is a term used to promote an information age mindset toward innovation that runs counter to the secrecy and silo mentality of traditional corporate research labs."
"Firms can and should use external ideas as well as internal ideas and internal and external paths to market as they look to advance their technology."
"It also includes creative consumers and communities of user innovators."
"The boundaries between a firm and its environment have become more permeable; innovations can easily transfer inward and outward between firms and other firms and between firms and creative consumers."
