Prof. Henry Chesbrough, conference chair and author of the new book Open Innovation Results: Going Beyond the Hype and Getting Down to Business (available Nov. 28). “The pace of growth in ideas is accelerating, making it even more imperative to open up to participate effectively in these flows of knowledge,” he says.

　　“有用的知识传播得如此之快，以至于没有一个组织能够或应该尝试自己做任何事情，”Adj说。Henry Chesbrough教授，会议主席，新书《开放式创新成果：超越炒作，回归商业》（11月28日出版）的作者。他说：“思想的增长速度正在加快，因此更需要开放，以便有效地参与这些知识流动。”。

　　Chesbrough in the early 2000’s coined the term “open innovation,” which centers on the idea that organizations should open themselves to knowledge flows. Companies that pursue open innovation don’t rely on only their own internal expertise, but buy or license technology and business processes from others. This approach speeds up product cycles, spreads risks and rewards with others, and increases product differentiation, Chesbrough says. At the same time, companies that license or sell inventions that they’re not using can generate additional revenue, spread out fixed costs, and validate ideas and technologies that could have been overlooked, he adds.

　　切斯堡在2000年初创造了“开放式创新”一词，该词的核心思想是组织应该对知识流动开放。追求开放式创新的公司不仅仅依赖于自身的内部专业知识，而是从他人那里购买或许可技术和业务流程。Chesbrough说，这种方法加快了产品周期，分散了风险和回报，并增加了产品差异化。同时，他补充道，那些授权或出售他们不使用的发明的公司可以创造额外收入，分散固定成本，并验证那些可能被忽略的想法和技术。

　　Chesbrough’s early research concentrated on the technology sector’s pursuit of open innovation. Since then, other industries, including the automotive, chemical, consumer products, and financial services industries have followed. Similarly, some governments and nonprofits have also benefited from open innovation, finding ideas from collaborative partnerships and crowdsourcing to benefit health-care systems and city planning.

　　Chesbrough早期的研究集中在技术部门对开放式创新的追求上。此后，其他行业，包括汽车、化工、消费品和金融服务业也纷纷效仿。同样，一些政府和非营利组织也从开放式创新中受益，从合作伙伴关系和众包中寻找有益于医疗系统和城市规划的想法。 在线咨询

　　“No one organization has a monopoly on great ideas,” says Chesbrough.

　　“没有一个组织垄断了伟大的思想，”切斯堡说。

　　In his new book, Chesbrough examines some of the challenges companies face in seeking innovation from others, including cultural resistance to pursuing ideas invented elsewhere and ingrained businesses practices that discourage collaboration. The book also links innovation at companies to national economic growth. All conference attendees will receive a copy of the book.

　　在他的新书中，Chesbrough考察了公司在寻求他人创新时面临的一些挑战，包括对追求其他地方发明的想法的文化抵制，以及阻碍合作的根深蒂固的商业惯例。该书还将企业创新与国家经济增长联系起来。所有与会者都将收到一本书。
