Abstract: Open Innovation and Collaborative Innovation have attracted a lot of

coverage in recent years, particularly with the publication of Don

Tapscott’s book “Wikinomics”. What does collaborative innovation mean

for large corporations? Is collaborative innovation good for traditional

along to the panel and hear leading experts in this field discuss these

issues.
