Speaker: Henry Chesbrough, Executive Director, Haas School of Business

Topic: "Open Innovation: Why Large Companies Need Startups (and vice versa)"

Outline: "It has once again become possible to finance new ventures, conditions that we haven't seen since early 2001. There is a big difference this time around, though. Then, all the new startups were going to disintermediate the "dinosaurs". This time, ventures are hungry to work with them. The good news is that large companies are hungry to work with startups as well. Professor Chesbrough will present a model of corporate innovation, called Open Innovation, that articulates the ground rules for engagement between ventures and established firms."
