Books on Open Innovation and Open Business Models
Three books by COI Executive Director Dr. Henry Chesbrough tackle the subject matter from different perspectives:
Open Innovation: The New Imperative for Creating and Profiting from Technology, Harvard Business School Press Books, 2003. [Google Books]
In his landmark book Open Innovation, Henry Chesbrough demonstrated that because useful knowledge is no longer concentrated in a few large organizations, business leaders must adopt a new, "open" model of innovation. Using this model, companies look outside their boundaries for ideas and intellectual property (IP) they can bring in, as well as license their unutilized home-grown IP to other organizations.
Open Business Models: How to Thrive in the New Innovation Landscape, Harvard Business School Press Books, 2003. [Google Books]
In Open Business Models, Chesbrough takes readers to the next step--explaining how to make money in an open innovation landscape. He provides a diagnostic instrument enabling you to assess your company's current business model and explains how to overcome common barriers to creating a more open model. He also offers compelling examples of companies that have developed such models--including Procter & Gamble, IBM, and Air Products. In addition, Chesbrough introduces a new set of players--"innovation intermediaries"--who facilitate companies' access to external technologies. He explores the impact of stronger IP protection on intermediate markets for innovation and profiles firms (such as Intellectual Ventures and Qualcomm) that center their business models on innovation and IP.
Open Innovation: Researching a New Paradigm (with Joel West and Wim Vanhaverbeke; Oxford University Press, 2006. [Google Books]
An edited volume of research contributions, all informed by the Open Innovation perspective. Open Innovation describes an emergent model of innovation in which firms draw on research and development that may lie outside their own boundaries. In some cases, such as open source software, this R&D can take place in a non-proprietary manner. Chesbrough and his collaborators investigate this phenomenon, linking the practice of innovation to the established body of innovation research, showing what's new and what's familiar in the process. Offering theoretical explanations for the use (and limits) of open innovation, the book examines the applicability of the concept, implications for the boundaries of firms, the potential of open innovation to prove successful, and implications for intellectual property policies and practices.

"The 2004 SMJ piece shows how small biotech firms orchestrate a system of open innovation through reaching upstream in alliances with universities, and downstream through alliances with pharmas.
The 2006 SMJ piece hightlights the importance of simultanouesly pursuing the same (R&D) activity in-house and through outsourcing, an issue highlighted in your 2003 book.
The 2007 Org Sci piece tries to get at the different antecedents to innovation at the individual, firm, and network (open) level).
If you are interested in other work of mine, most papers are available at http://mgt.gatech.edu/directory/rothaermel/publications.html"
