Over the past two years I have worked on this special issue together with Henry Chesbrough and Marcel Bogers. I am happy and proud to finally see it published. In this issue we have collected a number of really interesting articles. Even though this special issue celebrates the 20 year anniversary since Henry Chesbrough´s seminal book on the topic, it primarily covers important grounds for the next 20 years. It includes how new technologies, including AI, impact open innovation, how to effectively and efficiently organize it, both internally and with external stakeholders, and how to develop and implement strategies for open innovation.
We want to thank all authors (see below) for contributing to this issue. We also want to thank the CMR editorial office, including David Vogel, Kora McClain-Gonzalez, Gundars Strads, and Paul Lee, all the reviewers who helped to greatly develop the articles, as well as all authors of articles that didn’t make it all the way through to publication. (Just as open innovation, a special issue process includes elements of both collaboration and competition.)
