Journal to Mark 10 Years since Chesbrough’s Milestone OI Book
To acknowledge the tenth anniversary of the publication of Henry Chesbrough’s landmark tome Open Innovation: The New Imperative for Creating and Profiting from Technology, the journal Research Policy is going to publish a special edition intended to update research on the area.
The issue entitled Open Innovation: New Insights and Evidence will be published some time in late 2013 and the guest editors are Henry Chesbrough, Ammon Salter, Wim Vanhaverbeke and Joel West.
During the last ten years interest in and adoption of open innovation has grown exponentially with a variety of ways of engaging external partners. But much more than a set of innovation methodologies, approaches and tools, open innovation has become a business mindset that maximizes external brainpower to accelerate innovation goals.
Call for Papers
Research Policy is currently calling for papers for its special edition which “seeks to break new ground in our understanding of the rich and varied dimensions of open innovation. We seek to publish papers that provide new theoretical and empirical insights into open innovation, including research that informs managerial practice. We welcome papers that seek to place open innovation in historical context and that seek to critically challenge and extend our understanding of this important area.”
The full call for papers and deadlines can be found here, and includes a range of potential topics and questions researchers might like to address.
In addition, a conference for papers intended for the special issue will be held in London in June this year, sandwiched between Queen Elizabeth II’s diamond jubilee and the 2012 Olympics.
