"In this group the document Institute for Innovation and Knowledge Management (IIKM), the authors highlight the need to design appropriate new standards in terms of open innovation, and to help bridge the gap between the open innovation and open science. The norms of open science promote the rapid dissemination of the latest knowledge and encourage a broader participation of partners in the discovery of new knowledge. As valuable as this broad participation, it does not guarantee efficiency in the commercialization of scientific knowledge. In an open innovation approach, good commercialization of new knowledge requires the development of a new business model. Certainly, the new model should create value in the innovation chain. However, it must also allow key players to get some. On intellectual property protection or excessive premature award at early stages of scientific research can stifle innovation rather than facilitate its progress. In the new business model based on open innovation, decision on the entrepreneurial risk level will be needed to define the most promising applications. An approach by trial and error will also be necessary to create value on a commercial scale. For more information: get the report IIKM ."
