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 innovation ecosystems and how and when do they let ideas flow out of the organizational boundaries? In the era of Enterprise 2.0 innovation in products, processes, and business models is undoubtedly important for all types of organizations (private, public and NGOs). The course focuses on the nuances of the OI paradigm and how it contributes towards advancing ideas, agendas and businesses. 
Læringsaktiviteter:

The course will be taught as a lecture where the teacher will steer the discussion, but the students are expected to actively participate and co-create the lecture. After all, a course on Open Innovation has to be open and engaging by nature.
Participation: It is expected that students participate actively in the different elements of the lecture (preparation, online discussions, discussions in the lectures and exercises).

In addition, students are encouraged to contribute to the platform specially designed for the course (with submission of posts, relevant and interesting articles, blog entries, cases, reports etc.).

Learning Activities include:
Case based learning, problem based learning, group project work, student presentations, lectures, peer-to-peer feedback, plenum debate etc. 

Obligatoriske aktivititer:These activities are assessed by active participation and completion, and are mandatory for students to pass the course.
Failure to submit the three deliverables excludes students from passing the course.

Open Innovation Competition (Project): The project consists of three deliverables: Online submission of proposals, peer assessment and presentation.
Students will be divided into groups and will be given a problem. All solutions/designs/ suggestions must be uploaded on the platform specially designed for the course, where all students will be required to vote ALL submissions. In order to be able to vote a justification has to be provided (vote is confidential, justification visible to everyone who has access to the system). The proposals will be presented in front of an audience of students, scholars (and industry professionals). Presentation can follow any format students wish to choose; this might include theatrical performance, use of objects, drawing, posters, PowerPoint/ Keynote slides or literally whatever the students consider ideal to communicate their ideas.
The project (documentation of proposal and presentation) is group-based but peer assessment is on an individual basis, which means every students has to evaluate all projects.
The activity will be completed only after students have assessed all other proposals.
