Abstract :
Development of open innovation in the organization, primarily requires determining the position of the organization in the spectrum of opennes. For this purpose, a framework and measurement tool is required. In this research, after reviewing the literature a measurement framework for open innovation was developed and applied by questionnaire and best–worst method. This quantitative measure combines the values of both dimensions and depth for each of the three inbound, outbound and Coupled innovation into a single measure. The results showed that the combined gained the most weight and inbound and outbound innovation are in the next priorities, respectively. In spite of the high weight of combined, the company has received low scores in this aspect, which leads to low score in open innovation. The analysis of scores shows how the company can plan to strengthen and develop an open innovation approach. For example , with greater focus on the implementation of innovation related initiatives such as " strategic alliance " or " creating or exploiting the networks " to enhance open innovation scores and exploit the advantages of open innovation.
