Open Innovation:

A paradigm stating that companies can and should use both external and internal ideas to boost their innovation. This includes both “outside-in” (calling on external knowledge for use internally) and “inside-out” (when unused or under-performing internal knowledge is promoted outside company walls) approaches. The term has been attributed to Henry Chesbrough, professor at the University of California, Berkeley (USA)

Problem Solving on the Web:

Using Web user connectivity to collaborate (e.g., the 2009 Polymath Project) or answer open-problem challenges as individuals (e.g., P&G Connect, Innocentive, Hypios)

Crowdsourcing:

An approach that involves outsourcing tasks to a distributed group of people, both online or offline. This can involve the mass collaboration of thousands of individuals to accomplish one overall task (e.g., the Galaxy Zoo project, which...
