Open Innovation Studies Based On Distributed Cognition

Open innovation is a new concept, which was papered by American scholar Chesbrough, in 2003, It is a concept transformation which was relative to the closed innovation. The traditional closed innovation model is produced in-house technology innovation laboratories, To ensure that technical secrets are not leaked, Thus ensuring the technology and bring exclusive monopoly profits. The open innovation is the development of new products, companies no longer rely solely on their own R & D, But by the market to buy other companies advanced technology, combined with their technical characteristics and market advantage to introduce new products with independent intellectual property rights.The concept of open innovation made soon after by the attention of scholars in Western countries, But still lack of a mature theoretical framework of this paradigm in-depth study of technological innovation. Through comparative analysis, we found: Current cognitive science theory of distributed cognition typical case and open innovation process has similarities to a large extent, Further studies revealed:The basic pre-distributed cognition theory, research framework and cognitive channels research, can be applied to the analysis of open innovation. First of all, research subjects, both related to a similar process of knowledge production in this process, different individuals and groups, information exchange and consultation between, and finally reached a consensus; Secondly, both acknowledging that information with local properties, that is, the meaning and validity of the information depends on the specific groups and individuals; Thirdly, the study framework, both of great importance to group interaction, and that information between the different levels of calculation and consultations; Finally, cognitive awareness of the artificial channels and distribution of research material, both are concerned about the distribution of artificial materials characterized by computation and communication channels for knowledge production process. Use of distributed cognition theory to explore open innovation research, can be the result of some very inspiring.Distributed knowledge Application Perspective macro theory, you can clearly see: From closed innovation to open innovation paradigm shift is a large scientific project in the contemporary context, and characteristics of the new paradigm of open and distributed characteristics of big science is very similar to that in order to complete a complex task, from various forces in order to promote R & D process. By examining the Innovation Lab can be found in the course of development, the implementation of large scientific programs of Paradigms of innovation had a decisive influence on the ethical paradigm within the scientific community, communication methods and intellectual attitude, subverting the internal technological secrets stereotypes, thus directly promoting the innovation paradigm.The use of distributed cognition research methods, can also micro-inspection. On the "TD-SCDMA Technology as an international 3G standard" open innovation typical case analysis shows that:Technical knowledge is a kind of local knowledge in a way, it becomes a process of public knowledge, to master these technologies rely on knowledge of the market in innovation and team consultation and calculation process. Technical knowledge in the spread between different groups depends on interpersonal communication channels. The Communication of technical knowledge is, maturity, and the process to market, in fact, mastering the technical knowledge of groups and distribution of the expansion process.This conclusion is different from the traditional philosophy of science in the "technical knowledge and scientific knowledge are both human public knowledge" point of view. On this basis, the essence of technology issues and the technical team of the ethical characteristics, as well as past history of philosophy of technology in the missing dimension of the problem, can get a deeper study. Through the above macro and micro analysis to the conclusion and research prospects, can also further explore the research of traditional philosophy of science to expand the scope and the "era of big science," Establishment of the Paradigm of Philosophy and Technology.
