Definition: Collaborative innovation is a dynamic capability of entities for sensing, seizing and managing new levels of socio-economic transformation, based on opportunity sharing within and between multidisciplinary, multi-sector, multicultural researchers, practitioners and policymakers, in order to realize open innovations more effectively and efficiently.

Abstract: Exploiting routine collaborations based on division of labour or comparative advantage is fundamental to socio-economic evolution. In contrast, collaborative innovation is a dynamic capability (Teece, Pisano and Shuen, 1997) of entities exploring necessary modes of socio-economic transformation and evolution.
