(2007-09-10) Open Innovation Research Book

Open Innovation: Researching a New Paradigm ISBN:0-19-929072-5 by Henry Chesbrough and Joel West (and others) looks like it might be interesting... (draft EBook free) Open Innovation is sometimes conflated with open source methodologies for software development. There are some concepts that are shared between the two, such as the idea of greater external sources of information to create value. However, open innovation explicitly incorporates the business model as the source of both value creation and value capture.
