| Fagligt indhold: | The course equips the students with techniques and tools for understanding the fundamental concepts of open innovation. The course explores how organisations purposively use “inflows and outflows of knowledge” to progress and promote innovation. How do they incorporate ideas from outside the company with the use of technology acquisitions, alliances, client-supplier relationships, crowd-sourcing, open source and other practices and how and when do they let ideas flow out of the organizational boundaries? Organizational Theory has evolved from Organization 1.0 and the Great Man Theory to classic theories of management and leadership up to the Organization 3.0, whereby organizations have become flatter and top-down hierarchical systems are increasingly replaced by Open Ecosystems. In this emerging era of organizational development innovation in products, processes, and business models is undoubtedly important for all types of organizations (private, public, NGOs and social enterprises). The course focuses on the nuances of the OI paradigm and how it contributes towards advancing ideas, agendas and businesses both in theory and in practice. |
