E-GOVERNANCE FOR CROWDSOURCING INNOVATION: A METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING CROWDSOURCING INNOVATION
Luís Fernandes, Isabel Maria Pinto Ramos · 2010
The strategic changes in companies, as the case of adopting an open innovation model, involving new attitudes towards their internal and external relations, in this sense, there is a need for a preliminary assessment in order to verify their capabilities, skills and knowhow. From the moment you take the option for open innovation, there are complexities that were until now non-existent companies, regardless of size or structure. In these inter-organizational relationships, companies often deal with problems relating to management, both as regards the division of tasks and responsibilities on the one hand, and the management between tasks, innovation and communication problems within and between organizations on the other. The difficulty of time and resources for innovation is another barrier that is associated with all types of open innovation (Vrande et al., 2009). Thus, it is extremely important to analyze the motives and management challenges perceived by business and innovation communities, so that the governance of the relationship contributes to business success. With the methodology that will be proposed, it should be possible to recommend a governance structure to improve implementation of the concept of crowdsourcing innovation.
