Should new ideas be secret or public
Hi!
The forum has been a bit quiet here....so I thought I'll have a go and maybe you find time to comment. :-)
What is your experience, dear open innovators, if there is a new business idea then would you better keep it secret so that nobody would steel it or the opposite... you would talk about it to "everyone" so that you could make the idea better with the help of feedback from others? I am at the moment of the latter opinion (http://martridala.blogspot.com/2008/08/should-you-keep-your-e-servi...) but as we at MicroLink's incubator have experience of open innovation for only some years now then maybe there are cases where absolute secrecy is best?
Are there in your experience many cases where business ideas are "stolen"?
