Abstract: Technological and
organizational excellence is the key element for business success
in any modern business and project environment. Post globalization
and instable business environments demand permanent improvements
and changes of business processes. "Open the boxes" and exchange
information, ideas and set-up collaboration with stakeholders such
as customers, end-users, clients, vendors, business partners,
potential competitors - this is a challenge of current (project-)
organizations and their innovative environments. The open
innovation environment concept was born in 2003, presented by
professor Chesbrough from Berkley. Since then, researchers and
practitioners are searching for successful applications of this
idea. How we can improve the performance of large infrastructure
projects by using this concept of work will be presented in this
paper. The theoretical introduction will be illustrated by
practical example of the existing NETLIPSE knowledge network.
NETLIPSE is the network for dissemination of knowledge on the
management and organization of large infrastructure projects in
Europe.
During the 17th international
conference on concurrent enterprising Brane Semolic also presented
on this topic in Aachen, Germany. You can find
