Research lecture by Christiane Maurer (The Hague University)
location: Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering, media room 1A-01
On Thursday 7 June, Christiane Maurer from The Hague University will give a research lecture. The topic of this lecture will be 'Networked innovation'.
Summary
Networked innovation is a specific form of open innovation, where two or more companies collaborate as partners and share risks and gains throughout an innovation project. Based on findings from a longitudinal and multidisciplinary research project that revealed the experiences of several participating companies, the presentation gives insights why companies currently tend to innovate in networks, which network structures they use and which challenges they encounter at different organizational levels.
