This document discusses open innovation management strategies and their implementation in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It defines open innovation as using external knowledge and ideas as well as external paths to market to accelerate internal innovation. While open innovation has mainly been studied in large companies, it is important to understand how SMEs adopt open innovation strategies given that SMEs make up most companies. This research proposal aims to develop open innovation management strategy support tools for SMEs to help design sustainable products/processes and better serve customers through sustainable business models.
