Chesbrough, H., and Brunswicker, S., 2013.  Managing Open Innovation in Large Companies (Fraunhofer Verlag: Stuttgart, Germany).  This is a book length report of the first large scale survey of open innovation adoption in large firms in the US and Europe.

Open Services Innovation:  Rethinking Your Business to Grow and Compete in a New Era, (Jossey Bass: San Francisco, January, 2011).  This book examines the context of innovation in an increasingly services-driven economy.  It starts with the commodity trap product-focused businesses often find themselves in.  It considers the challenge of growing a services focused approach to innovation, changes required in the business model to achieve this, and the value of Platforms that combine both products and services together.  The book has been translated into Italian and Spanish, and Japanese, Chinese and Korean translations are in Process.  This book was nominated for a 1800 CEO BestRead award for 2011, and received Axiom’s Silver Award for Best Business Book of 2011.

Open Business Models: How to Thrive in the New Innovation Landscape, (Harvard Business School Press: Boston, MA, December, 2006).  A sequel to Open Innovation, this book moves beyond R&D to innovation of the business model itself.  There is a taxonomy of business model innovation, an extended treatment of intellectual property management, and a discussion of innovation intermediary firms who can help companies open up their business models.  The book has now been translated into Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Italian.  It was named one of the ten best books on innovation in 2006 by Businessweek Magazine.

Open Innovation: Researching a New Paradigm, (Oxford University Press, August, 2006), (with Joel West and Wim Vanhaverbeke).  An edited volume of research contributions, all informed by the Open Innovation perspective.  This volume explicitly framed the Open Innovation model into a series of research questions for academic scholars, and linked the Open Innovation model to prior academic research.

Open Innovation: The new imperative for creating and profiting from technology, (Harvard Business School Press: Boston, MA, 2003) This book introduces a new paradigm, “open innovation”.  Built upon extensive field research, Open Innovation outlines a new environment for R&D.  It demonstrates that this new environment replaces the logic of an earlier era, where innovation was inwardly-focused, and closed off from outside ideas and technologies.    It proclaims a new logic for the innovation process, one that requires technical managers to become conversant with business models, to seek new avenues to access external knowledge, and new structures for taking technology to market.  And it requires senior managers in the firm to change the charter of their R&D organization, to turn it into an effective generator, user, and integrator of knowledge, adept at utilizing both internal and external ideas.  Includes a Foreword by John Seely Brown.; published in Japanese by Sanno Daigaku in October, 2004; published in Chinese by Tsinghua University Press, December, 2004.  The book also has now been translated into Polish, Korean, and Italian.
