Chapter 7 in Innovation Through Cooperation, 2014, pp 99-114 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Why is cooperation necessary? Many people have ideas. Mostly, unfortunately, they are not businessmen or those best able to realize ideas in the market. Bringing the two together – ideas and companies – and getting them to cooperate could seriously foster innovation and offer many more people the chance to benefit from their ideas. A division of labour seems the most promising way to give everyone a better chance to succeed and innovation to flourish. Everyone could do what they do best, invent or realize – all too rarely do they coincide.
