Your R&D Teams Run Faster Than Ever, But Do They Run to the Right Direction?”

To win in high-velocity markets, a firm must use Open Innovation to feed its Dynamic Capabilities, and rely on its Dynamic Capabilities to orchestrate its Open Innovation strategies.

Supervised by the Pioneer of Dynamic Capabilities and the Father of Open Innovation

Professor David Teece

"Dynamic capabilities are the ability of an organization and its management to build and reconfigure internal and external competences to rapidly address changing environments."

With over 260,000 citation on Google Scholar, Professor. Teece has been ranked as the world’s most-cited scholar in the combined field of business and management in an analysis of science-wide author citations published in PLOS Biology, a peer-reviewed journal.

Professor Henry Chesbrough

“While creating useful knowledge is vital, it is equally important to ensure that this knowledge is widely spread throughout the society.”

Professor Henry Chesbrough coined the term “Open Innovation” in 2003 and pioneered the Open Innovation field. With over than 130,000 citations on Google Scholar, he’s one of the most influential researchers in the world.

DYNAMIC CAPABILITES PRINCIPLES

Sensing: The environment is constantly changing. Proactively scan and sense new opportunities and threats.

Seizing: Recognizing a trend doesn't capture value. Decisively mobilize resources to seize the opportunity.

Transforming: Past success doesn't guarantee survival. Continuously reconfigure and transform assets to maximize value capture.

OPEN INNOVATION PRINCIPLES

Not all the Smart People Work for us. Leverage external knowledge.

Make the Best Use of Internal & External Ideas to Win.

We Don't Have to Originate the Research to Profit from it.

Building a Better Business Model is better than Getting to Market First.
