We live in an age of exponential technology, but this is not so new. Indeed, technological innovation has been promoted so assiduously for so long that there is now a discernible pattern to its emergence known as the Gartner Hype Cycle. Open innovation is no exception. In this book Henry Chesbrough, the originator of open innovation, examines the hype behind its practice, shows where real results are taking place, and explains how companies can move beyond the hype to achieve real business results. The book begins with an exponential paradox; new technologies are emerging at an accelerating rate, yet we continue to see stagnant wages and lagging production. These realities are hard to reconcile with the promise of exponential technologies. A closer look suggests that exponential advocates are paying too little attention to the broad dissemination and absorption of a new technology before it delivers real profit and social benefit. To get valuable results from innovation, businesses must open up their innovation processes and finish more of what they start. They need to open their knowledge flows to generate new growth, and unused internal knowledge must flow openly to others to generate new revenue and future business opportunities. Many of the best known aspects of open innovation such as crowdsourcing, open source software, or innovation intermediaries are often not well connected to the rest of the organization. Using numerous real-world examples of these methods in practice, Chesbrough illustrates how they can, and must, be used in connection to the organization as a whole in order to have real long-term value. Open Innovation Results offers a clear-eyed view of the challenges and realities that limit the ability of organizations to create and profit from innovation. Whether in the largest companies or in a small business, an advanced economy or a rural village, this book charts a course to enhance organizational growth and performance.

Chesbrough, Henry

Management & Leadership

Oxford University Press

The father of “open innovation” is back with his most significant book yet. Henry Chesbrough’s acclaimed book Open Innovation described a new paradigm for management in the 21st century. Open Services Innovation offers a new approach that demonstrates how open innovation combined with a services approach to business is an effective and powerful way to grow and compete in our increasingly services-driven economy. Chesbrough shows how companies in any industry can make the critical shift from product- to service-centric thinking, from closed to open innovation where co-creating with customers enables sustainable business models that drive continuous value creation for customers. He maps out a strategic approach and proven framework that any individual, business unit, company, or industry can put to work for renewed growth and profits. The book includes guidance and compelling examples for small and large companies, services businesses, and emerging economies, as well as a path forward for the innovation industry. 
 “Whether you are managing a product or a service, your business needs to become more open and more inclusive in order to be more innovative. Open Services Innovation will be an invaluable guide to intrepid managers who commit to making that journey.” —GARY HAMEL, visiting professor, London Business School; director, Management Lab; and author, The Future of Management 
 “I tore out page after page to share with my leaders. Chesbrough has pioneered an entire rethink of business innovation that’s rich in concept, deeply explained, with tools ready to use in every industry.” —SCOTT COOK, founder and chairman of the executive committee, Intuit 
 “Focusing on core competence often tempts managers to keep continuing what succeeded in the past. A far more important question is what capabilities are critical in the future, and Chesbrough shows how to ask and answer these issues.” —CLAYTON CHRISTENSEN, Robert &amp; Jane Cizik Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School, and author, The Innovator’s Dilemma 
 “To thrive, businesses will need to master the lessons of open service innovation. Here is their one-stop guidebook with important lessons clearly and compellingly presented.” —JAMES C. SPOHRER, director, IBM University Programs World-Wide 
 “Open Innovation pioneer Henry Chesbrough breaks new ground with Open Services Innovation, a persuasive argument for the power of co-creation in the world of services.” —TOM KELLEY, general manager, IDEO, and author, The Ten Faces of Innovation, The Art of Innovation 
 “With his trademark style of beautifully explained examples, Henry Chesbrough shows how open service innovation and new business models can help you escape this product commodity trap and bring you to the next level of competition.” —ALEX OSTERWALDER, author, Business Model Generation 
 “Open Services Innovation shows how a business can redefine itself as a service organisation and tap into faster growth through shared innovation.” —SIR TERRY LEAHY, chief executive, Tesco 
 “Chesbrough shows how innovating openly with a services mindset can make you a market leader.” —CHARLENE LI, author, Open Leadership, and founder, Altimeter Group Case Study: Car2Go from Daimler-Benz Open Services Innovation provides an alternative way to think about products like cars. It is important to realize that people are usually buying the utility provided by a product and the product itself is only a means to this end. So, with automobiles, one is really obtaining transportation services. Most of us only drive or utilize our vehicles a small portion of each day (typically less than 10%) and the rest of the time it just sits idle. Yet, we bear 100% (!) of the costs associated with this expensive asset (acquisition, service, parking, insurance, etc.). An Open Services approach seeks to exploit utilization differentials like this to get more value or ROI from underutilized assets. Raising the utilization of a car to even 50% can spread the many costs of owning and operating it over many more hours and people. Daimler makes the world-renowned Mercedes Benz vehicles and most of them are sold in traditional ways, through dealers. And customers purchase or lease them, using them mostly for themselves. But Daimler is innovating an alternative way for people to obtain transportation services. Called Car2Go, this service allows customers to pick up a car at a nearby location, use it for as long as they wish, drop it off wherever they like, and they are only charged for the miles they accrue. An intelligent sensor and GPS system allows Daimler to locate their vehicles and show the location of all available vehicles to interested customers online. There is no membership fee to sign up or drop-off fee. This is a very flexible, convenient service. First tested in Ulm, Germany in 2008, this service was launched in Austin, Texas in 2010. While it is too early to measure success, offering highly flexible transportation services where customers can customize the offering and co-create value is a perfect example of Open Services Innovation (more examples of utilization differential in the book). Case Study: Mint.com’s Answers Community The Great Recession of 2008 and 2009 traumatized many investors. Even now, after the carnage has subsided, investors remain wary about what to do with their money. And the advice of many “established” brokers and advisors has shown to be unhelpful for many people, creating a hunger for good information about options for saving and investing money. Mint.com (which is owned by Intuit) is a rapidly growing website that serves this hunger for information and unlike traditional brokerage and financial advisory services, Mint.com takes an open services approach to supplying it. The website has an entire section called Mint Answers that allows users to post questions that are puzzling them, and enables anyone in the Mint.com community to post answers to those questions. For example, one recent user asked “I have a mortgage that has an interest rate of 5.25%. I have the cash to pay it off. Should I?” To this question, Mint Answers shows three different answers to the question from different people in the community. Each person raised a question that the user needed to consider in making their decision and together these answers were more helpful than any single one. To highlight the best, the user can assign a point for any answer they found to be helpful. Mint Answers also tracks who the most active contributors of answers to the site are and shows which contributors have accumulated the most points. Notice that all Mint.com is doing is supplying a medium or platform for its viewers to search for and provide information. It costs Mint very little to provide this service (just the cost of the website and tracking the points). The site becomes more valuable the more people use it, as more questions are asked, and as more answers are given. This example illustrates the idea of using Open Services Innovation to create a platform others build on (more examples in the book).

History

Jossey-Bass

This volume provides a collection of cross-country analysis of innovation, showing that the effects of innovation upon firms vary from one country to another. Incumbents perish in one country, while they thrive in the same industry in another country. Startups thrive in response to new technological breakthroughs in one country and struggle in another country. Drawing upon studies of semiconductors, disk drives and biotechnology, and examining institutions such as patent systems and venture capital, this volume takes issue with predictions of convergence, and convincingly demonstrates the multiple paths that technologies and innovations can follow.

In his landmark book Open Innovation, Henry Chesbrough demonstrated that because useful knowledge is no longer concentrated in a few large organizations, business leaders must adopt a new, open” model of innovation. Using this model, companies look outside their boundaries for ideas and intellectual property (IP) they can bring in, as well as license their unutilized home-grown IP to other organizations. In Open Business Models, Chesbrough takes readers to the next stepexplaining how to make money in an open innovation landscape. He provides a diagnostic instrument enabling you to assess your company’s current business model, and explains how to overcome common barriers to creating a more open model. He also offers compelling examples of companies that have developed such modelsincluding Procter &amp; Gamble, IBM, and Air Products. In addition, Chesbrough introduces a new set of playersinnovation intermediaries”who facilitate companies’ access to external technologies. He explores the impact of stronger IP protection on intermediate markets for innovation, and profiles firms (such as Intellectual Ventures and Qualcomm) that center their business model on innovation and IP. This vital resource provides a much-needed road map to connect innovation with IP management, so companies can create and capture value from ideas and technologieswherever in the world they are found.

How to Create Smart Villages: Open Innovation Solutions for Emerging Markets

The COVID-19 crisis is a game-changer that will eventually benefit rural economies around the world. Around 3.4 billion people are living in rural areas lacking access to resources, tools, knowledge, and markets to find their way to prosperity. The exodus of millions of migrant workers from cities and back to their villages in India demonstrated that digital infrastructure that connects rural populations to the rest of the world is critical. Governments are missing resources to singlehandedly provide all the needed solutions for given challenges. How to Create Smart Villages shows how large corporations and startups can take upon the responsibility in solving villagers' needs while tapping into exciting growth markets. To get valuable results from innovation, businesses, governments, academics, and civil society must be reconciled while opening up their relevant resources, knowledge, and expertise. Solomon Darwin, Professor and Executive Director at the Haas School of Business, also known as the father of the Smart Village Movement, inspired the start of the Smart Villages Movement at UC Berkeley in 2016. This movement created a platform for innovators from private and public sectors to empower the underserved communities in rural India and beyond. Alongside Henry Chesbrough, Adjunct Professor and Faculty Director at the Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley, and father of the Open Innovation paradigm, both define Smart Villages as "a community empowered by digital tools and Open Innovation platforms to access global markets". To the present, the Smart Village idea is being executed in three Indian states in close collaboration with the Indian government alongside companies such as Google, Ericsson, Intel, TATA group, TechMahindra, Dell, VMWare, Nvidia, Reliance, IBM, Airtel, Wipro, AWS, Intel, Adobe, Autodesk, Microsoft, ThyssenKrupp, Siemens, Enel Energy, SAP, Xerox, Oracle, and Salesforce. Solomon Darwin and Werner Fischer, an expert in sustainable development and a more recent scholar of Open Innovation at UC Berkeley, bring to this book their on-ground research and use cases from Indian villages. Alongside Henry Chesbrough, author of several management books and recognized as one of the top 50 business and technology leaders by Scientific American, they offer a thought-provoking process to unlock innovation in rural emerging markets. This book provides rare, unique insights from business-driven innovation in a demanding territory like rural India through powerful Open Innovation ecosystems to accelerate economic and social impact. It captures all the successes, learnings, and failures since 2016 to be finally shared with the world for contributing towards more effective sustainable development. Village communities are the source of food production and hence the source of life for human lives around the world. Join the Smart Village Movement to light up the dark world when providing a new, exciting way towards villagers' prosperity.

Il primo libro di Henry Chesbrough, Open Innovation, era riuscito a definire un nuovo paradigma per il management del 21° secolo; con Open Services Innovation, che appare ora tradotto in italiano, l’autore ci spiega come l’Innovazione Aperta, associata a una rivalutazione del ruolo dei servizi, può portare le imprese a scoprire nuove opportunità in un’economia sempre più dominata dal terziario.Chesbrough illustra come le aziende in tanti settori diversi possono differenziarsi e innovare passando da una visione basata sul prodotto a un concetto di business orientato al servizio, e da una mentalità d’innovazione chiusa a un approccio aperto a contributi e risorse che arrivano dal mondo esterno. Il libro propone innumerevoli esempi che illustrano teorie e modelli, offrendo una guida molto concretaper l’implementazione di idee e strategie. In questa edizione, ai riferimenti americani sono affiancati tanti casi di imprese italiane con cui il lettore saprà facilmente confrontarsi.
