The Future Innovation through intrapreneurship has become imperative for most private firms but increasingly so in the public sector. Therefore, capabilities in innovation management have become central to drive businesses and industry forward by both CEOs and governments alike. In today’s more turbulent business environment, innovation involves the acquisition of external knowledge, advanced skills, and the application of new technological combinations. These imply closer collaboration with customers, suppliers, complementors4 and even competitors. Consequently, open innovation and collective strategies are vital for firms to gain sustainable competitive advantage and market-place position. This context justifies the growing number of public-private collaborations and the proliferation of business ecosystems.
