Abstract

As engineering is required to answer directly and more heartily than before the requirement of society and markets, we want to answer the following questions. What kind of open innovation channels exist, and how can these channels operate as a knowledge funnel to conquer the growth limit of capitalism in the 4th industrial revolution? At first, we built up the concept model of open innovation engineering from a conceptual experiment and attempted to prove this model by literature reviews. Second, we applied this open innovation concept model at the papers of Society of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity (SOI) 2019 Special Issues of Electronics as a preliminary study. Additional field researches on each open innovation engineering channel in addition to research on finding out more open innovation engineering channels are required.

Highlights

In the 4th industrial revolution, so to say in the 2nd information technology (IT) revolution, engineering is required to answer directly and more heartily than before the requirements of society and market [1,2]
What kind of open innovation channels exist, and how can the channels operate as a knowledge funnel to conquer the growth limit of capitalism in the 4th industrial revolution?
The TRIZ provides predictable patterns in terms of time rather than types of problems to be solved based on these 40 principles and 76 standard solutions, so they can be used as a strategic decision-making tool in open innovation engineering [19]

Summary

Introduction

In the 4th industrial revolution, so to say in the 2nd information technology (IT) revolution, engineering is required to answer directly and more heartily than before the requirements of society and market [1,2]. Open innovation has become the dominant paradigm to connect between technology, and markets, and to arrive at new combination of the creative destruction [6,7,8,9]. In this situation, we want to answer the below research question. We collected ideas from papers of Society of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity (SOI) 2019 special issue of Engineering to answer the research question and to prove the concept model of open innovation engineering
