O lugar da informação, do conhecimento e da aprendizagem no modelo de inovação aberta

Abstract

An enlargement of the analytical scope of the open innovation model is proposed in order to highlight the information micro-processes involved in innovation development. With this purpose, an illustrative experiment was conducted taking into account a selected text about open innovation. Information science and other theoretical-conceptual approaches were used to develop a meta-analysis of the text in order to demonstrate the relevance, advantage and complementary nature of this alternative approach. Some aspects of innovation were analyzed, in order to identify its main characteristics and, at the same time, place the analysis focus on the open innovation model. An specific literature related to the knowledge generation, the learning dynamics, information regime and networks was used. From these theoretical and analytical foundations it was possible to identify areas in the open innovation model in which to accommodate a deeper and more detailed analysis of particular aspects, such as the role of the information channels, the information flows through the networks, the actors learning process and the information regime.
