His restaurant, elBulli, was awarded five times the title of the Best Restaurant in the World. Through an analysis of the last 30 years of the creative journey of elBulli, this contribution highlights that Adri{\`a} and his team of chefs succeeded in articulating two different processes: i) a process of creativity that aimed at defining a new {\textquotedblleft}school{\textquotedblright} of high cuisine and ii) a process of innovation that was expressed by the new gastronomic experiences offered to the (happy few) customers of the restaurant until its closure in 2011. A careful examination of the coupling and decoupling of these two processes shows how they fueled each other, and how the management of the organization (through a specific type of ambidexterity) was conducive to the adequate articulation of the two processes. }, keywords = {ambidexterity, creative process, creativity, elBulli, exploitation, exploration, Ferran Adri{\`a}, gastronomy, haute cuisine, innovation}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/911}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/911}, author = {Ignasi Capdevila and Patrick Cohendet and Laurent Simon} } @article {909, title = {Introduction to the Special Issue on Creativity in Innovation}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {5}, year = {2015}, month = {07/2015}, pages = {5-13}, publisher = {Talent First Network}, address = {Ottawa}, abstract = {Managing creativity for innovation is a key challenge in today{\textquoteright}s economy; therefore, the management of ideas will play in increasing role in driving the growth and resilience of organizations. Rather than simple inspired insights, ideas have to be addressed as complex socio-cognitive processes, to be organized and managed. To benefit from the full value of new ideas, management must constantly balance the formal and the informal, the logic of creation and the logic of production, and must learn to couple idea-generation processes and innovation processes through renewed knowledge management practices. In this introduction to the Technology Innovation Management Review{\textquoteright}s special issue on Creativity in Innovation, the guest editors highlight the need to manage: i) ideation processes to foster creativity, ii) the tension that exists between the logic of creation and production; and iii) disruptive innovation to transform a traditional industry. }, keywords = {creativity, ideas, ideation, innovation, management}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/909}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/909}, author = {Patrick Cohendet and Laurent Simon} } @article {829, title = {Challenging the Stage-Gate Model in Crowdsourcing: The Case of Fiat Mio in Brazil}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {4}, year = {2014}, month = {09/2014}, pages = {28-35}, publisher = {Talent First Network}, address = {Ottawa}, abstract = {A large crowdsourcing project managed by Fiat Brazil involved more than 17,000 participants from 160 different nationalities over 15 months. Fiat promoted a dialogue with an enthusiastic community by linking car experts, professionals, and lay people, through which more than 11,000 ideas were selected and developed to create a concept car using a collaborative process. Through an in-depth case study of this crowdsourcing project, we propose a new approach {\textendash} the accordion model {\textendash} which uses project management to help maximize the beneficial inputs of the crowd. Whereas the stage-gate process relies on a {\textquotedblleft}funnel{\textquotedblright} of articulated sequences expressing a progressive reduction from an initial stock of potential ideas and concepts, in this article, we suggest that crowdsourced projects are more akin to a process that articulates a succession of broadening and funnelling periods that represent information requests and deliveries. We use the metaphorical terminology of {\textquotedblleft}the sacred and the profane{\textquotedblright} to illustrate the interaction of sophisticated and ordinary ideas between the {\textquotedblleft}sacred{\textquotedblright} experts from Fiat and the {\textquotedblleft}profane{\textquotedblright} lay people associated with the project.

This view is far too restrictive and is at odds with many empirical and theoretical works.

Patents are thus shown to be critical instruments for coordinating innovative activities between firms. They not only exclude potential infringers, but also {\textquotedblleft}include{\textquotedblright} all the heterogeneous stakeholders of the innovation process. Patents facilitate coordination via two mechanisms: they encourage the emergence of markets for technology (market coordination) and they play an important role in formal and informal inter-firm collaboration (non-market coordination).
