Abstract
The Open Innovation and Open Business Model Innovation (OBMI) approach (Chesbrough 2005, 2008) has been one of the most discussed innovation frameworks in the 2000s, and probably one of the most important contributions to business model innovations (BMIs) since 2005. Managers in the healthcare sector responsible for innovations have also tried to adapt the OBMI approach as a tool among the numerous other innovation tools.
The aim of the paper is to present an initial study of the implementation of the framework of OBMI in the European healthcare sector. The study is naturally inspired by Chesbrough’s work on OBMI but also Michael Porters work on healthcare sector (Porter 2010) and shared values (Porter 2011).
The study includes four European Hospitals (University Hospital Oslo, HSDJ Barcelona, University Hospital Aarhus and University Hospital Aalborg). Data is supplemented with experience from the European and US healthcare sectors.
The paper focuses on the following research questions:
• How can OBMI be defined?
• How is OBMI used in the healthcare sector?
The paper concludes by proposing a definition of open and close business models, and open and close business model innovations.
