Training and Development Tool for the Open Innovation Quality Management System

The purpose of the paper is to contribute to learning, knowledge creation and knowledge transfer obtained through a web-based role-play simulation environment as a training and development tool for the new phenomena of Open Innovation (OI) concepts of organizations. This paper is based on the survey realized within the OI-NET project. Learning objectives for OI course were chosen by the expert team of the project. A new approach to education using OIMS-RPS has been tested on a sample of PhD students from different study fields at the University. The study is limited by the complexity of the actual Open Innovation environment, measurability of any real enhancement achieved and the possible verification of empirical results.
