In recent years, open innovation has been changed to one of the issues regarded by innovation management. Product development and design (PD&D) organization is a capacity and capability which is able to take an action to convert idea to the product in its own processes. One of the most important management decisions in development and design cycle is to make a decision about this issue that how employees are organized and grouped and how their relationship would be. In this paper, investigating organizational structure and form of PD&D organizations which have an especial importance have been taken into consideration. In the following, owing to the open innovation approach, these organizations are investigated and proper strategies are propounded and then organizational structure proportioned to product lifecycle is proposed.
