Abstract

Today, most innovative firms in the IT sector cannot possess all the knowledge and business assets they need to be competitive. They must frequently rely on formal and informal agreements with partners not only in order to cooperate in technology/product development or system integration, but also to complete their capabilities in the associated technology transfer or diffusion activities. As a consequence, technology based innovation processes are changing to adapt themselves to deep changes in organisational contexts and they are becoming more open. Keywords: – Cooperative IT transfer and diffusion theory and practice. – Public–private partnerships for IT transfer and diffusion. – Role of national, regional and local authorities in cooperative diffusion theory. – Public procurement of IT services and other demand–side policies as catalysts for open innovation. – IT tools to support cooperative technology transfer and diffusion in the context of Web 2.0 and future 3.0. – Case studies for specific technologies, geographical contexts, or organisations related to IT or IT–supported fields. – Open innovation models for public and private organizations. – IP rights management, IT standards. – Open business models in non–IT sectors. – Products, services and new ventures based on IT open innovation. – Innovating with customers.
