There are no room for leaving idea 'open' if there is no real argument for that. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Dealing with innovations/ideas in big company.

May 28, 2009. Communities and open innovation. A week ago, I made T-shirts with logo of my web-site(on picture) and offer it for free to my columnists and forum visitors (my football club web-site).

In our case, if someone from club want to hear us, or just visit our forum, he can get many ideas for the club's future - and all that for free! May 5, 2009. 3 smile an...

October 25, 2008. Melancholy of eastern Croatia. I was very disappointed with the number of attendees at this week's seminar about patents in my hometown. Let's say first some facts, the town has 120.000 inhabitants and the region has population of 800.000. If I say that there was only 5 people at the seminar which was free and very informative, that's enough to see what is the state of economy in eastern Croatia. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

November 27, 2008. I'm addicted to the facebook application = game Mousehunt. This is one of the best applications on facebook and it's very popular. The firm who launch it is canadian Hitgrab.
