Search boxes - basic building blocks of the
Open Innovation process

By defining search boxes in a customer oriented way, the frame for an efficient, comprehensive provision of information regarding a selected product line - in critical cases broken down to specific products - is created. The building up of search boxes is triggered by the strategic instruments of an enterprise, like visions, strategies, business plans, analyses of competitors, technological developments, etc. The exact contents are elaborated according to the specific situation.

Benefits for enterprises are manifold: a clear delimitation of search boxes for provision of information, a clear depiction of the actual state of available information, a source of ideas and catalyst for innovation, and an early warning system for developments in the related environment.
