The purpose of this article is to analyze the harmful effects of rapid innovation aging in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and on this basis to propose alternatives for its partial or total removal. However, this must also be related to the reduction in the cost of manufactured industrial products. One way to solve this problem, especially for SMEs, is to apply the "approach or philosophy" of open innovation and to seek alternatives to rapid innovation aging.
