Can you tell a good open innovation failure from a bad one?

What is it about?

Open innovation (OI) failures are considered a uniform class of undesirable outcomes. This article emphasises that two classes of failure exist: “bad”, triggered by preventable causes such as negligence, lack of skills or inadequate procedure, and “good”, stemming from hard-to-predict causes inherent in innovation endeavours. This article clarifies the differences between good and bad failures, describes their causes, and recommends countermoves to mitigate “bad” failures.
