    The Complexity Advantage

    The complexity of crowds

    Objectives

    This research group is an interdisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners whose main goal is to advance knowledge in the broad field of open and collaborative innovation, particularly in the context of complex systems. Our vision is to become an international research group where scholarly insight and field expertise are integrated to address complex problems facing businesses, economies, and the wider society. In so doing, we encourage internal and external contributors to challenge state-of-the-art in the field of open and collaborative innovation, with a specific focus on complex systems, to cast fresh light on existing knowledge and practice. We also welcome joint partnerships with recognized research centres and institutions worldwide. Ongoing research projects include: 

    • What are the specificities of product creation, teams, projects, and incentives with crowdsourcing? 
    • How to implement coopetition and open innovation in SMEs? 
    • How to develop productive collaboration between businesses and institutions through coopetition, inter-organisational collaboration, and innovation? 
    • What are the benefits and shortcomings of open access?
