There is actually a group named IdeaShare where they share ideas. I concocted the word NuIdeaShare(added New - Nu) to promote the activity in entrep class where I ask them to submit new ideas weekly (this is graded) to be shared with me and the class. This is quite challenging for most and quite a lot never manage to submit something that qualifies as new idea (some are copy and paste stuff from the computer).
The main goal of the IdeaShare group is to accelerate technological change. (vs closed architecture and patent protection). It has been proven by history that sharing idea allows greater and faster change and at lower cost because of collaboration. (beta vs VHS format in video players, microsoft vs. linux, firefox vs explorer).
Some book publishers allow other co authors (thanks to the web) to co author books. Or even given away free books (minus many key pages) to stimulate idea sharing . On the other hand, there are those who want to run their business using defensive strategies: use of IPO law, suing copiers for infringements, running the business from the courthouse rather than from the R & D labs.
What do you choose?
