Back in 2016 I wrote about World View , a company that wanted to send space tourists up into the stratosphere inside of a capsule tethered to a balloon.

However, we are often asked to compare the relative value of open innovation with internal innovation. Therefore in this post we will consider the value of open innovation by using the following common definition: Open Innovation Value = (Quality + Benefit) / (Cost + Effort). The Quality of Open Innovation. It’s the law of numbers.
