Extension of the original model
Going beyond product and service innovation
Business models - Chesbrough (2006)
n Performs two important functions: u it creates value, and u it captures a portion of that value
n Creation of value: by defining a range of activities that will yield a new product or service valued by a (target) customer group
n Value capturing: by establishing a unique resource, asset or position within that series of activities where the firm enjoys a competitive advantage
Open business models - Chesbrough (2006)
Division of labor: u one party develops a novel idea but does not carry this
idea to the market itself u sells it to another party,who carries it to the
Open business model: uses the division of labor to u create greater value by leveraging more ideas (external
ideas) u capture greater value by using key asset, resource, or
position not only in the company’s own business but also in other companies’ businesses

Broadening the scope n OI when it is not related to your NPD:
u You are a service company with no technical expertise
u SME with insufficient technological expertise u Government agency:
t Nasa: new technologies may help you a lot in your mission as space agency
n Insourcing knowledge of others in an indirect way through an open business model (OBM)
• KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, the North Sea Group and Spring Associates joined forces and founded SkyNRG in Nov 2009.
n Goal: to help create and accelerate the development of a market for sustainable jet fuel (safe, sustainable and affordable) & avoid large price swings in petro-based kerosene
n Creating a viable market for sustainable jet fuels for aviation can only be achieved by combining expertise and experience in the fields of air transport, product knowledge, R & D, regulation and effective sustainability criteria
n SkyNRG is the hub firm in the ecosystem

Biofuel value chain
KLM’s value driver? KLM profits as a
customer of a steady supply of sustainable and affordable biofuel
Open innovation: SkyNRG sets up the aviation
biofuel value chain and drives the acceleration of
joint technological innovations between
partners
What if your products are commodities?
n BP pumps crude oil from wells and produces petro products (commodities)
n Product innovation is not a value driver n Oil well exploration and extraction are major
value drivers n Collaborate with Schlumberger and others
technology services to advance their technology in order to find the best wells earlier than competitors.
Strategy as ecosystem building
n Two book to remember n What are the implications for OI? n Nambisan and Sawhney; Network-
centric innovation, AMP, 2011 u Tasks: - Innovation leverage
– Innovation coherence – Innovation appropriability
4
Some shortcomings of OI
n Only large, technology user firms in the picture u What about small, high-tech technology suppliers
n Only technology driven focus (upstream partners)? u What about downstream partners? (Experience lab?)
n Only firm level analysis: No eco-system or network perspective u How to build an OI perspective at the network level?
n Absence of the geographical dimension u How to organize open innovation close by and at large
distance?

Economic Affairs as a ‘campus of national significance’ n Campus companies are responsible for nearly 50% of all
patent applications in the Netherlands n Management no longer in hands of Philips
The right mix for your ecosystems
n What is the right mix for open innovation u Corporate innovators and start-up companies u Research institutes and universities u Technical services & business support u Network organizations u Venture Funds
n How to team up with partners outside the campus? n How to differentiate vis-à-vis other potential
locations? 28
Back to the funnel Joint R&D model: Access, shared, Dedicated
29
A succesful(ly managed) OI Campus requires…
n Top class Campus management n Top class infrastructure n Growth towards independently run service and
research facilities n Campus ‘house rules’ n New attitude and thinking about (co-developed) IP n Emphasis on which info can be disclosed n Worlwide acquisition and PR strategy

Start of the creative (internet) community QOD:Vamdrup - Denmark Founded 2000 Founders
• Søren Løgstrup (Sales and marketing) • Hans Erik Schmidt (Business development)
Quilts of Denmark: quilts & duvets with active temperature and humidity control The bedding textile industry
n Overview late ’90s u Very traditional industry without any
major innovation u Through the nineties there was a trend
towards falling prices (quality). u Price was the only dominating factor!
n QOD wanted to change this !
10
Changing the industry?
n Founders formulated two guidelines for the QOD business:
1. ”to promote a healthy sleep for a better tomorrow”
2. A dream team : only best people in the industry
Provider of healthy sleep n Vision:
u We are not a textile company. u We are providers of healthy sleep!
n Sleep is a major problem u We sleep less than we did 50 years ago u More than 70 million Americans do not sleep well (309 mill
inhabitants or 23% ) u The lack of sleep is costing the American society billions of
dollars annually. u It is estimated that 56.000 car accidents in the United States
happen because the driver falls asleep behind the wheel. u Danish teenagers sleep too little and have difficulties attending
early lectures.
How to improve sleep? n In order to become a provider of healthy sleep, QOD
needed to know which factors are important for a good night’s sleep:
n They started a cooperation with external experts: u Sleep scientists (Glostrup hospital) u Danish Asthma & Allergy Association u Physiotherapists
n Temperature (variation) rapidly emerged as one of the major determinants of a good / bad sleep
How to find the required technology? n Lot’s of trials with different technologies n H-E Schmidt reads an article in a scientific journal
about phase change technologies developed by Nasa n Contacts Nasa & Outlast
Phase change materials How to develop the required technology?
n Outlast was mainly interested in building material applications
n Gradually shifted attention towards textiles when it saw the economic opportunities while collaborating with QOD
n Outlast invented the microcapsules with PCMs n QOD optimized the technology (getting the right mix)
to have a better sleep u combining the insights of different fields
11
How to deal with IP?
n Outlast licenses the technology to QOD u Worldwide and exclusive license for quilts & pillows u Sublicenses to other manufacturers in countries where QOD
is not active / interested u Outlasts licenses to other firms for other applications
t Shoes, jackets, underwear, etc… n Sublicenses lead to easy price erosion, insufficient
control, brand damage u Outlast deal: grow and internationalize fast – too many
sublicenses
More recent developments
n Both companies co-developed a new, stronger Temprakon. Launched autumn 2010 u QOD is now a world-wide producer minimizing the number
of sublicenses
n Need to educate the retail shops and final customer u Training of sales people in retailing shops in return for a
marketing budget. u Working on new concepts to reach the customer
• Airborn, Temprakon shops • Internet sales ? • How to experience the quilt’s effect before buying it?
Temprakon-Airborn concept More recent developments
n Both companies co-developed a new, stronger Temprakon. Launched autumn 2010 u QOD is now a world-wide producer minimizing the number

• Airborn, Temprakon shops • Internet sales ? • How to experience the quilt’s effect before buying it?
Whats next: The launch of the new TempraKON?
n QOD developed with Outlast a new Temprakon u Better performance and moisture control
n How to launch it? Two basic options 1. Launch the new generation TempraKON within the whole
range of QODs products. u QOD can re-negotiate sublicenses and price settings with partners in
several countries u push previous licensees out of the market in countries where QOD wants
to sell its products directly to retailers.
2. Keep the old TempraKON and add on a second layer of premium products u Advantages? Size of premium market? Price sensitivity?
Open innovation in services: Example: Pet insurance! § Combining resources, knowledge and
databases of insurance company, pet food manufacturer
§ Collaboration between different partners § Bonding of clients in commodity like
markets § Cross industry innovation, § Relational capital / open innovation § Sustainable competitive advantage
§ Similar example: Yacht insurance
12
OI in Services: KLM jet service § Value creation: improve time productivity of C-level
managers through jet service (vs. regular flights) § 3 - 4 clients instead of 1 – 2 per day
§ Set up the OI-value chain: § Internal innovation lab § European network of taxi’s § European network of low-cost, small airports § New technological applications increasing on flight
productivity
§ Value capture: how to maximize profitability? § Licensing in consecutive steps (KLM-Air France; Skyteam
world; all competitors (One World; Star alliance)
§ Move ahead: Include some of Netjets’ BM: time sharing!
How to manage OI?
An example: How to cooperate with high-tech
start-ups?
How to organize for OI? External Venturing at XYZ § Pitfall : Large firm invests in a start-up and uses its
financial participation as a power tool to enforce cooperation on terms of the investing company
Start-up
XYZ-BU XYZ-V
Is it an interesting investment? Yes? Then a minority participation
Once there is a financial participation there is no ex ante deal how to handle the transfer of technology!
How to organize for OI? External Venturing at DSM § Rationale:
§ Strategic return, not a financial return § One of the BU should benefit from it
§ Therefore: Negotiation is a three way negotiation There are two deals packaged into one
overall deal
Start-up
DSM-BU DSM-V
1. Option creation: Is it an interesting investment?
2. Option exercising: Can the new technology create a new business in the future?
How to organize for OI? External Venturing at DSM Six reasons not to start a power play with
external ventures: 1. Bad reputation: when the large, investing firm is looking
for interesting start-ups as a recurrent practice 2. Pushing too hard for a particular application (based on
the business model and proposed application of the large, investing firm)
u Market potential of start-up technologies is still very uncertain because of the early stage technology. Keep options open for unintended but interesting applications.
u limits business potential of start-up (and thereby shareholders value)
….
How to organize for OI? External Venturing at DSM Six reasons not to start a power play with
external ventures: 3. Might kill the spirit of good cooperation. 4. Kill entrepreneurial spirit by creating another "corporate
puppet on a string" 5. Could limit exit possibilities and exit value for other
shareholders (by lock-in to/dependency on corporate) 6. Could result in litigation if perceived as abuse of
economic power

Strategic use of IP in open innovation
Some non ICT-examples
License scheme of Bekaert & Continental (technical standards)
Bekaert Continental
Other clients
Other suppliers
Proposal: • X = …% of net sales value of supplied product • Supplier collects royalties • Cross-license agreement between client and supplier implying:
• Bekaert to supply "other clients" at X% • "Other suppliers" to supply the Continental at X% • Bekaert grants sublicenses to "other suppliers". The latter can supply to
"other clients" at 2X%

Technology markets and the role of innomediaries
OI and technology markets Inter-organizational knowledge transfers
u The Arrow (1962) “disclosure paradox”: market failures because inventors are reluctant to reveal their technology
u Patents provide opportunities for firms to overcome the disclosure problem t IP is important to trade innovations
u Markets for technology? (Arora et al (2001) t Still significant transaction costs in transferring
technologies t Selling technologies in the marketplace is not fully
leveraged (Gambardella, Giuri & Luzzi,; 2007) – the market for technology could be 70% larger.
