This article examines the preconditions necessary for the successful operation of the open innovation platform and applications in Turkey. In open innovation, firstly the applications in the world are explored and then the methods developed are introduced. Open innovation platforms differentiate according to the participants' freedom of providing ideas and the conditions of selection. Open innovation is designed to mobilize external resources that institutions do not own. In design, why stakeholders need to present ideas, and a way to compare the ideas have to be addressed. The open innovation practices do not see enough attention in Turkey. The first initiative is closed in Turkey. A few big firms exploit the internal open innovation platform.

Developing human capital can be done by giving attention to the ideas of the employees and realizing their suggestions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
