Idea generation within open innovation communities within organizations:

This part of the project focusses on methods to encourage creativity.Hence, we will address the early stages of the open innovation process.We will to investigate, which existing techniques to support creativity are applicable for OIC and have the potential to be advanced for social information processing on the internet and for mobile scenarios. Furthermore, we will have a main focus on the analysis of social networks. Social networks are considered to be the basis of various services which are developed to support the early stages of the open innovation process (e.g. for the identification of “idea-partners” and the setup of temporary “creativity teams”).
