Open Business Models contains a large variety of examples of companies that have recently sprung up, serving as innovation intermediaries. These include Nine Sigma, Innocentive, Intellectual Ventures and Imaginatik, among others. In a closed model, such players would be viewed as part of an unsavory underground market, if not declared outright illegal.
-
Of course, spin-offs, acquisitions, startups designed from the beginning to be acquired, mature capital markets, and venture capitalists who apply different sorts of logic to ideas than corporate pipelines, all belong in this picture in obvious ways as well.

Bertrand DuperrinThe catchphrase of Henry Chesbrough’s work on innovation (a doctrine called “open innovation” and described in Open Innovation, 2003, and Open Business Models, 2006), is “not all the smart people work for you.” The key operational message that corporations seem to take away from it though, is “buy and sell intellectual property vigorously and throw some money at universities.” Somewhere along the way unfortunately, a sophisticated reconstruction of the logic of innovation becomes reduced to quick-money recipes.
-
Here is the obvious conclusion that Chesbrough is unwilling to draw from his own theory: if intellectual property moves around in an economy through the clumsy and cumbersome process of trade, things get drastically slowed down. The solution isn’t just more trade. It is faster trade, and sometimes, free sharing.
