Open Innovation and OER
Open innovation topics have always seemed to me to be very relevant to open educaitonal resource development, especially as they move away from open source software into other fields. Open Innovators in doing a series on 12 recommended open innovation books, the first four of which are:
- Outside Innovation: How Your Customers Will Co-Design Your Company’s Future
- by Patricia B. Seybold - Motivation in Open Innovation
- by Robert Motzek - Open Innovation: The New Imperative for Creating and Profiting from Technology
-by Henry Chesbrough - The Long Tail: Why the Future of Business is Selling Less of More
- by Chris Anderson
I found Eric von Hippel’s Democratizing Innovation to be really helpful in thinking about how open innovation might occur with educational materials. I won’t be surprised if it appears in future posts.

Hi,
Indeed! Eric von Hippel’s Democratizing Innovation will definitely be included in the list, as well as the Wealth of Networks by the way (I noticed you reviewed it here too).
Take care,
Philippe
