Abstract

With technological development and global interconnection, companies need to adapt their innovation strategies to remain competitive. Open innovation is an effective response to this context. However, to implement it successfully, it is essential to adopt an idea management system (IMS) that is consistent with the innovation flow. This article presents a systematic review of the literature on IMSs, analyzing their functionalities, processes, challenges, and solutions. Additionally, it proposes a new tool that combines phases and functionalities from the analyzed proposals and promotes user participation, aiming to offer a solution better suited to contemporary organizational demands.
