]]> Comment on What are big businesses for? by Roland Harwood http://www.100open.com/2012/01/what-are-big-businesses-for/comment-page-1/#comment-2032 Roland Harwood Tue, 31 Jan 2012 10:47:29 +0000 http://www.100open.com/?p=3238#comment-2032 Thanks Pedro. Glad you enjoyed it and that it was helpful. Both titles look interesting though I think I prefer the first. And yes, ecosystems are fundamentally formed of (near) equals from possibly large and small companies. It's difficult to have any kind of relationship if the power difference is too great. Speak soon, Roland Thanks Pedro. Glad you enjoyed it and that it was helpful. Both titles look interesting though I think I prefer the first.

In fact after just having decided the title: "Co-Creation Dynamics in Collaborative Networks: The Role of the R^D and Manufacturing Interface in Cross Boundary Innovation" I'm convinced that technology based SMEs are a critical piece of any healthy innovation ecosystem, given their risk taking attitude, agility and passion. A good example of this are Germany's "Mittelstand" SMEs companies which have been a great enabler of bigger automotive and heavy machinery companies. Cheers!

I suspect that there is immense hidden value just waiting to be tapped, if managed sensitively and authentically. Great perspective.

(http://creativity.city.ac.uk/everydayinnovation.html) - the research was led by Prof. Fiona Patterson from City University London. One interesting thing about reward is that people often respond better to rewards like exposure to senior management or even recognition within the company rather than the monetary rewards that are so commonly applied. Money is nice, but feeling valued and appreciated is priceless. :-) A study published by NESTA in 2009 goes into detail about exactly this topic of enhancing innovative working within an organisation.

I must have spent too much time in Japan. I am interested in how the concept of 'open innovation' is translating to Japan and how it will be 'Japanalized'. Many Japanese companies have a long history of external collaborations, and some may use the term open innovation to describe what is already there. The keiretsu system of inter-relations between various group companies and their suppliers is a kind of ecosystem that may provide insights into how a complex net of relationships works. From a different viewpoint, social constraints may be responsible for the cohesion within groups, and membership of the group is necessary in a country where earthquakes, tsunamis and typhoons can have devastating effects.

Yes Open Ideo is a kind of digital platform that, as far as I understand it, holds out no promise of a further exchange of value. Digital platforms can be the start of all sorts of collaborative journeys but most crowdsourcing sites (like Dell ideastorm and mystarbucks idea) are only about ideas not execution. Hope this helps David Hi Tanarat thanks for your question. Yes Open Ideo is a kind of digital platform that, as far as I understand it, holds out no promise of a further exchange of value.

I am a design and brandign student. Can I ask something, what do you think an "OPEN IDEO" social innovation platform would be fit in which area in this model? Is is digital platform?

There is a natural tension here and those companies that survive and thrive tend to be able to use both in an agile and adaptive manner. Posted on behalf of Adrian Furner:
