Abstract

Innovation management is often too constrained within the firm. On the contrary, the technology enterprise must relentlessly spin-off specific technological ventures, while constantly looking outside the firm in order to acquire innovation projects and technology start ups, to be considered as potential spin-ins. Internal innovation, co-development and successfully internalizing outside innovation projects are the three sources for the growth through technological innovation. The author describes how they constitute the distributed innovation system, involving a variety of actors: large firms; start ups; and venture capital firms
