ABOUT

Peter...

Peter Keinz is Associate Professor and deputy head of the Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the WU Vienna. Besides doing research and giving lectures, he shares his expertise with organizations from industry and the non-profit sector in order to help them become successful innovators.

His main interests and competences are the fuzzy front-end of innovation (idea generation), high-tech innovation (matching technologies with new market opportunities), and organizational design to foster innovation.

...and his approach to Innovation

Peter is a passionate advocate of Open and User Innovation. He strongly believes that organizations need to integrate external stakeholders into their innovation processes to stay competitive.

However, for organizations to really capitalize on Open and User Innovation approaches, they need to develop three core capabilities (see below).
