I enjoyed podcasting with Dr. Henry Chesbrough at UC Berkeley Haas School of Business Center for Open Innovation.  Our discussion explores key concepts underlying open innovation and particularly the importance of business models. Henry coined the concept “open innovation” and wrote Open Business Models: How to Thrive in the New Innovation Landscape to help the conversation around a hot topic in business community. Thanks Henry!
