Defining dimensions in expertise recommender systems for enhancing open collaborative innovation

Abstract:

In open innovation a firm's R&D crosses not only internal boundaries but disciplines. It is an interactive process of knowledge generation and transfer between internal and external firms. Despite the assistance of open innovation marketplaces, the process of matching seekers and solvers remains a challenge. Expertise recommender systems in an open innovation marketplace can facilitate finding the 'right partner'. With this aim, a list of appropriated dimensions to be considered for the expertise recommender system are defined. An illustrative example is also provided.
