2. Silicon Valley’s Orthodox Approach

3. Is Open Innovation something new?
• collective invention
• Crowdsourcing / crowdfunding
• community-based competition
• user-developed innovation
• open source
And more..

5. Usually literature deals with how to use external
knowledge to foster innovation but not much on
opening up internal knowledge to foster
innovation.

6. Open Data is information which can be
freely used, reused, and redistributed, in
machine readable format, by anyone,
anywhere, for any purpose
Open Knowledge is what Open Data
becomes when it is made
useful - accessible, understandable,
meaningful
and able to help someone solve a real
problem

7. Why Open data in Open Innovation?
Open data opens up the possibility of external
innovators and it has not been researched
enough. Therefore, it is of interest to study the
opening up of data sets and try to understand
how it influences Innovation process.

8. My Purpose
Describe and analyse how organisations open up
data sets to actors external to the organization
and understand how these organisations (both
internal and external actors) benefit from open
data in terms of innovation.

17. Why Spain and Indonesia?
Nelson Mandela wore batik shirts on formal occasions;
the South Africans call it a Madiba shirt.
In 2010, Nelson Mandela was present in the stadium
when Spain's international football team won their first
