Garwood Center for Corporate Innovation Details
The Garwood Center for Corporate Innovation brings together scholars and practitioners— from executives to students — to understand Open Innovation and overcome the unique challenges of openly innovating in large enterprises. The Garwood Center pays particular attention to the implementation of issues and development of new business models to capture the value of innovative products and services. Garwood's Faculty Director, Henry Chesbrough, is known as the father of Open Innovation, but like any proud parent, he prefers to shine the spotlight away from himself and on to what his idea contributes to the world: a way to innovate that harnesses useful knowledge from just about anywhere.Our Mission:• Address corporate innovation challenges through both theory and practice. We place particular, but not exclusive, emphasis on Open Innovation.• Help corporations implement and share innovation solutions through our Berkeley Innovation Forum.• Generate and share cutting-edge research on corporate and open innovation through our World Open Innovation Conference and other events.• Educate the next generation of corporate innovators through undergraduate and graduate courses as well as our visiting scholars and Garwood Innovation Fellows programs.
