Multicriterial Analyses of Theorethical Models of Innovation Use in Business Practice with a Focus on Open Innovation and Transfer Technology

Abstract

Innovations are an integral part of corporate strategies and corporate vision, and strategies for their fulfilment are the cornerstone for assessing the innovation capacity of the economy. Innovation is extremely dependent on the availability of knowledge management, and therefore the complexity created by knowledge management tools plays an important role in the successful implementation of innovations. Open innovation is an important concept for any organization or company, no matter how small or large it is. Open innovation involves a collaborative approach, whereby firms integrate external knowledge and expertise into their innovation processes. The aim of this work is to propose an evaluation model of innovation use in business practice with a focus on open innovation. The model will be based on management as a discipline specifying work with explicit and tacit knowledge, as they are the key to innovation. Methodological approaches to modelling include retrospective analysis, qualitative and quantitative surveys in the private sector, multi-criteria decision-making and interviews with business innovation managers. The target users of this model are primarily firms in the secondary public sector. The proposed model will both allow the evaluation of quality benefits and contribute to the expansion of the possible methods used in knowledge management.
