Challenges of open innovation

The typology of situations can be based on the main criteria that characterize open innovation, in particular :

• the intensity of interactions with the organization's environment ;

• exchange themes, which can be predefined or completely open-ended;

• the level of control over openness to outside organizations (selected partners or openness to all partners);

• governance within the framework of rules established in co-construction ;

• strategy based on the co-construction of offering concepts;

• practice of the different forms and tools specific to open innovation.
