Science and Technology Closer to Humanity - Open Innovation ”, stressing the collision and integration of ideas to develop creative ideas. Steven Johnson, one of the most well-known innovation missionaries in US, mentioned that
“innovation and creative ideas are not produced in a closed research room but in a plaza or in the process of continuously exchanging ideas with other people”.
