Negli ultimi dieci anni, l’Open Innovation è diventato uno dei fattori chiave e tra gli elementi fondamentali di competizione nel mercato e tra le organizzazioni. L’obiettivo delle imprese è rafforzare gli attuali business e costruirne di nuovi. Da qui nasce la necessità di creare un nuovo ecosistema dell’innovazione, che permetta di interagire all'interno di un network formato da persone con idee innovative. La risposta a questa necessità è il modello Open Innovation che, nell’attuale contesto di mercato, sembra l'unica strada percorribile. Grazie al mio stage in Electrolux, ho avuto il privilegio di vedere come aprire le porte ad innovatori provenienti dal mondo esterno, con idee di prima mano per aspetti teorici e pratici. Questa tesi focalizza sul modello Electrolux Open Innovation (Mindset), in cui fondamentale è il ruolo del cambiamento culturale. Le attività che sono state completate sono le seguenti: in primo luogo, revisione della letteratura, seguito dallo studio della strategia di Open Innovation in Electrolux e dall'analisi del modello di lavoro. L'obiettivo di questa tesi è fornire un quadro della situazione attuale dell’OI Mindset di Electrolux, sottolineando opportunità ed eventuali future azioni da compiere per evolvere attraverso strumenti di gestione e design del servizi.
