Open innovation and project management
Since 2017, we have joined forces with Prof. Giorgio Locatelli's research team to leverage our expertise on open innovation with Prof. Locatelli's leadership in project management and explore how the two research fields could intertwine. As a result, we started multiple research initiatives that resulted in some of the most impactful articles on the topic.
