Open innovation

Henry Chesbrough defined the term

'Open Innovation' as 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
they look to advance their technology
(Chesbrough, et al 2006).
The National Innovation System
(also NIS, National System of
Innovation) is the flow of
technology and information
among people, enterprises
and institutions which is
key to the innovative
process on the national
level.
Capitalism is the greatest economic
system because it has numerous
benefits and creates multiple
opportunities for individuals in society.
Some of these benefits include
producing wealth and innovation,
improving the lives of individuals, and
giving power to the people.
1) interactions among
enterprises;
2) interactions among
enterprises, universities and
public research laboratories;
3) diffusion of knowledge and
technology to firms; and
4) movement of personnel.
Open innovation is the
practice of businesses and
organizations sourcing
ideas from external
sources as well as internal
ones. This means sharing
knowledge and
information about
problems and looking to
people outside the
business for solutions
and suggestions.
One example is Unilever's
innovation portal, which seeks
solutions to problems companies
face with packaging,
transportation, and storage of
food products. Innovation
challenges help companies gather
ideas and find solutions. Usually,
the problems are well-defined,
like the Unilever program.Dec 1,

What economic system is highly
innovative?
A country with a market
economy also has increased
innovation. With money as the main
motivating factor for firms and
individuals, they look to create new
products and technologies to generate
higher incomes. In a market economy,
firms and individuals are encouraged to
innovate to gain a competitive edge.Jun
