“开放式创新”是美国加州大学柏克利分校哈斯商学院开放创新领导力中心主任亨利·切萨布鲁夫教授(Henry Chesbrough)率先提出的。切萨布鲁夫在2003年发表的《开放式创新》(Open Innovation)一书中指出,企业应该打破传统封闭的研发组织疆界,广泛向外界取得创新的素材和能量。 “Open Innovation” was first introduced by Henry Chesbrough, director of the Center for Open Innovation Leadership at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley. In his 2003 book, Open Innovation, Chesabroe pointed out that companies should break the boundaries of the traditional, closed R & D organizations and make widely available innovative materials and energy to the outside world.
