Abstract

The article aims to describe, identify and classify application forms for Open Innovation, delivering specific cases for its justification. The methodology consisted of a critical review of the main theoretical fundamentals presented in the statement about art, the concept of Open Innovation, its evolution and application. The concept of Open Innovation and its implementation is a matter that occurs in practice, where methodologies have not been determined to define the application mechanism that best suits the organization. The document has four sections. The first discusses the evolution of the concept of Open Innovation. The second classifies this concept, then in the third we present specific application fields and its main mechanisms or application tools, application examples and at the end of the last section findings and input on prospective studies are delivered.

Highlights

The application of the concept of innovation has evolved from an initial theory that gave emphasis to a closed innovation, where a linear process of innovation is highlighted with high investments in the research and development processes, evolving into what can be referred to as Open Innovation, which generates different degrees of receptivity of organizations, increasing or decreasing the flow of input or output of innovation
This search resulted in 23 articles in Scopus and 41 articles in Scielo, these works were classified in the same way, which helped find the inclusion of the construction area inside the Open Innovation concept
It is recognized that innovation has become an essential tool to ensure the development and growth of organizations and nations, it is noted that implementations are not fast nor solve all the problems occurred in the development process

Summary

Introduction

The application of the concept of innovation has evolved from an initial theory that gave emphasis to a closed innovation, where a linear process of innovation is highlighted with high investments in the research and development processes, evolving into what can be referred to as Open Innovation, which generates different degrees of receptivity of organizations, increasing or decreasing the flow of input or output of innovation.The open system model has several important advantages over the closed system. The application of the concept of innovation has evolved from an initial theory that gave emphasis to a closed innovation, where a linear process of innovation is highlighted with high investments in the research and development processes, evolving into what can be referred to as Open Innovation, which generates different degrees of receptivity of organizations, increasing or decreasing the flow of input or output of innovation. It allows profitability to be achieved at all stages of innovation: through sales, and through licensing or exit in earlier stages. It allows full use of the potential of human resources, as it allows for "outside the box" thinking or organization thinking (Van der Merr, 2007). When applying IA, different mechanisms have been established in the practice, whose advantages and disadvantages have not been thoroughly debated or discussed yet
