Collective innovation, unlike open innovation, is part of a more reticular and ecosystemic perspective, thus going beyond the dyadic dimension between the focal firm and its innovation partners(inbound/outbound strategies). The focus is on the way in which the various elementary building blocks are arranged, both inside and outside the company, and on the collaborative innovation dynamics that are put in place, in order to understand how and why this arrangement produces value for all stakeholders. To put it another way, the notions of network and setting these networks in motion immediately emerge when we talk about collective innovation. With them also come questions of structure, and therefore of the properties of that structure. These questions are invariant, whatever the scale at which we situate the context of innovation: that of individuals and communities, that of organizations, or that of broader territorialized ecosystems.
