    Contribución de las prácticas de innovación abierta a la superación del valle de la muerte, en proyectos de innovación de Medellín : caso de estudio
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2019) Ruiz Montes, Sebastián; Arango Gaviria, David; Yepes Callejas, Edgar René
    There are multiple studies related with the phenomenon known as the death valley (a bottleneck that delays the development of R+D+i after the experimental development phases prior to the formal new product development) its factors and impact on the innovation process, however there is little in-depth treatment of the relationship of the death valley with open innovation and its practices. This work aims to explore the open innovation practices and its contribution to overcoming the main barriers of the death valley in two projects of open innovation in the city of Medellín. The research starts with a literature review that allows the exploration of different stances and definitions of open innovation practices, the innovation process and the death valley phenomenon and its factors. Subsequently, a case study methodology is applied using semistructured interviews as a data collection tool where two innovation projects from an organization from Medellin are selected with the criteria that one of the projects should have successfully overcome the valley of death phase, while the other did not. The collected information was analyzed with the objective of identifying and characterizing the manifestation of the death valley factors as well as the open innovation practices used in each one of the projects. A causal analysis was then performed allowing the identification of relationships between the employed innovation practices and the death valley factors that were characterized in the cases.
