Open Innovation
- Not all the smart people work for us. We need to work with smart people inside and outside our organization
- External R&D can create significant value; internal R&D is needed to claim some portion of that value
- We don't have to originate the research to profit from it
- If we make the best use of internal and external ideas, we will win
- We should profit from others' use of our intellectual property, and we should use others' intellectual property whenever it advances our own objectives
