Abstract

Innovation spaces of telco operators and web-based IP services converge; innovation in the telco domain is no longer restricted to operators and their suppliers. It is increasingly brought about by the millions of additional developers of web-based IP services and new IP equipment manufacturers. The choice of alternative technological paths is skyrocketing and renders the traditional closed approach of corporate R&D obsolete. Obviously, competing for the best innovation with the outside world is less an alternative for telco operators than ever before. The challenge for corporations now is to make maximum use of the innovative dynamics around them. Open Innovation is one approach that aims at making the corporation’s borders transparent enough for external contributions, while at the same time limiting the risks of reduced control over the innovation process.
