Open innovation in SMES has been examined in a few studies based on large quantitative databases 5. These pioneering articles have explored why SMES engage in open innovation activities,

These stories about applying open innovation in small firms successfully can barely be compared with the open innovation ventures of large manufacturing companies, such as Xerox, P&g, Philips, Lego, and IBM.

because the open innovation network is at the core of the business model. The existing business model (innovation) frameworks do not pay attention to strategic partners

and sent an additional email with detailed information about the study. In total, we contacted 18 companies that have been mentioned as having been involved in open innovation activities.

this trend is an outcome of the growing impact of the Internet, television, and other distractions at night.

Nor is it a user-centred approach, because the customers were not able to envisage that the properties of a functional quilt such as TEMPRAKON could actually benefit their ability to sleep well.

It is a consortium of architects, manufacturers, professional organizations, user groups, social representatives, and teaching institutions that created a totally new concept for the patient hospital room:

and largely untapped approach to increasing value for the customer and enabling medical staff to deliver value by making their jobs more convenient using, for instance, smart and integrated information systems.

Based o n a combination of two technologies (displays and three-dimensional scanning the company wants to change both the physical shop and the shopping experience.

After scanning, customers see themselves on large screens as a virtual, three-dimensional model dressed in clothes from various collections that the shop offers.

It is remarkable that the firms we interviewed did not diversify over time into new businesses that were not or only weakly related to their core business.

innovative company should stick to its core products. First, new product markets have their own specific challenges.

It had to team up with different parties to develop the two basic technologies (displays and 3d scanning) to make virtual shopping possible.

The Strada radiator had a panel on top of the radiator that users sometimes had to remove to clean the battery

To remove this panel most people at home used a screwdriver, which would often damage the varnish.

Based on an idea from Product Days, a small pop-up device was installed now to remove the panel easily without using tools.

It also was user friendly by concealing hot parts so children would not burn themselves if they were playing with it.

and make patients less dependent on nurses using intelligent monitoring and communication systems. The small consortium used the keywords to develop a new concept of the patient room that was translated subsequently into several products

The idea was to build a better way to recommend movies to its users than its own software.

the Web-based movie rental service company awarded a team of mathematicians and computer engineers called Bellkor's Pragmatic Chaos. The group developed software that is at least 10%more accurate than Netflix's current software (Cinematch) at predicting which movies customers will like based on their past preferences.

Crowdsourcing contests are also possible for smaller companies †although most likely in smaller more focused communities.

Moreover, small contests can be held among employees, suppliers, and local communities of designers, engineers, and so on. 33 These value networks have been described by different authors.

Competitiveness, Innovation and Productivity: Clearing up the Confusion Robert D. Atkinson August 2013 The Information technology & Innovation Foundation THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION FOUNDATION Page 2 COMPETITIVENESS, INNOVATION AND PRODUCTIVITY:

CLEARING UP THE CONFUSION To listen to many economists, pundits and policymak-ers discuss the economics of growth it would be easy to be confused by the commonly used terms:

competitiveness, innovation and productivity. These terms are used often almost interchangeably and with little precise meaning.

For example, a printing firm in Michigan that sells printed material to customers across the United states would be traded a firm from the perspective of the Michigan economy,

In contrast, a software firm in Washington that sells software throughout the world would be traded a firm from the state and national perspective.

The emergence of digital mobile systems (GSM) and open systems in computing and communications created an environment where even small companies could make an impact in world markets such as banking

telecommunications services and interactive learning that were traditionally the preserve of large multinational companies. During the late 70s and 80s, a significant proportion of the third level graduates from engineering and science courses emigrated to join multinationals in mainland Europe and North america.

Ireland†s universities in the 80s had many innovative programmes in computing and communications, which were very current with trends in the industry.

Typical startups of this period were companies such as Kindle (Banking Systems), Aldiscon (Text messaging), Fineos (Insurance), Iona (Enterprise Integration Software), APION (Mobile Web), CBT & Riverdeep

etc) and these websites provide detailed information regarding starting a business in Ireland. Startup Grind Ireland Startup Grind is a global startup community designed to educate

Social media should be used to support information sharing. The Forum would like to see more knowledge sharing and less duplication of effort among service providers across all of the State organisations.

and monitor performance data to ensure that actions taken are showing positive results. Until now there has been designated no †entrepreneurship policy unit†within the Government system that seeks to coordinate response and programmes across government for startups.

The Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation should create an Entrepreneurship Policy Unit. 7. 2 Monitoring progress of entrepreneurship policy It is important that the Government monitors performance to ensure that actions taken are showing positive results.

The data for this information does exist; however, it is not accessible because of the variety of systems in

which the data is kept--between Revenue, the Company Registrations Office, and other sources. Use of up-to-date performance data to monitor startup levels will be important.

The Forum proposes the establishment of a †Startup Monitor†by the Department of Jobs,

The collation of appropriate metrics could be supported by relevant available data obtained from the Revenue Commissioners.

The Startup Monitor should capture information on numbers of new companies created to include: •Numbers of individuals starting a self employment project. •Numbers of newly incorporated companies. •Industry NACE code. •Startup size classification †number of employees

The Startup Monitor should also have capabilities to produce up-to-date information on: •Progress of startups over time (eg.

So many websites and sources of information are available that many people find it confusing and inaccessible.

While no one website can possibly answer every question at any time, a better national website resource is required,

which provides information on the supports available and signposts the user to relevant agencies. We acknowledge that the development of this website could be a substantial undertaking.

The private sector have developed already several initiatives that help direct entrepreneurs to relevant events and resources39.

These may provide models for the agency developing the national website, and are discussed further in Chapter 4 Vibrant Hotspots of Activity.

Fur ther more, there are opportunities to enhance existing interactions with entrepreneurs by providing information on Government supports at point of contact

A National Entrepreneurship Website for startups should be established which contains relevant up-to-date information on services available

This initiative must also use social media channels. 63. The e-Government initiative by the government should look at the various requirements for registering a business in Ireland,
