Triggering Open Innovation Processes Through Organizational Emotional Capability and Rival's Absorptive Capacity Orientation
2022
In this article, we analyze the direct effects of the open innovation (OI) processes of acquisition and exploitation on innovation performance (IP), as well as the effects of two antecedents of OI: organizational emotional capability (EC) and rivaĺs absorptive capacity orientation (RACO). RACO implies processing external information in an analytical manner, whereas an intuitive approach is implicit in EC. The research model is tested in a sample of medium-low-technology Colombian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) using structural equations by the consistent partial least squares method. Our results provide evidence on a significant effect of the OI acquisition process on IP, as well…
Choosing Open Innovation Intermediaries through their web-based platforms
2016
This paper examines the services provided by Open Innovation Intermediaries (OIIs) through their web-based platforms, in order to understand how OIIs can effectively support innovation seekers in their innovation processes. Relying on the existing literature exploring the roles and functions of web-based OII platforms, we carried out an exploratory and comparative qualitative study to identify the services available, to classify them by the various phases of the innovation processes in which they can be beneficial, and to link them to general roles and functions. Our analysis of the services provided by OII platforms sheds light on the dynamics of innovation seekers’ choices, and gives mean…
Collaboration experience in the supply chain of knowledge and patent development
2017
In this paper, we aim at understanding the role of collaboration experience in supply chains of knowledge (SCoK). The SCoK of a company is its supply chain not related to the flow of physical goods but to the flow of R&D commodities. R&D commodities are for example patents, technologies, research services, studies, and projects, and, in high-tech industries, their development and commercialisation are considered as important as real products. To accomplish our aim in this paper, we fulfil the following research objectives: (1) investigate the relationship between the collaboration experience in SCoK and the propensity of the firm to develop new patents; (2) examine how the structural embedd…
User Innovation Networks and Research Challenges
2009
User Innovation Networks (UIN) has been considered the open innovation model for this century as it functions entirely independently of manufacturers. This paper discusses two UIN cases, Daz3D, as well as Linux Dell and IBM cooperation as regards research challenges about the community of practice and interface used. It concludes that current technology only now started touching global and extreme collaboration for creativity and innovation.
Crowdsourcing: An Application of Promotional Marketing
2015
Groups are more creative than individuals; therefore, they also contain more knowledge, and this assumption represents the central principle of crowdsourcing. The term “crowdsourcing” is a contraction of the words crowd (a large number of people) and outsourcing (the use of external assistance or help). The crowdsourcing concept was popularized and clearly defined in a Wired Magazine article published by the American journalist Jeff Howe in 2006, and since then, it has been implemented in a wide range of industries. Nowadays, with the proliferation of the crowdsourcing practices, it has become necessary to clearly define what crowdsourcing really is and what its specific limits are. So, whi…

Alternative paths to high performance of independent financial advisors: A fuzzy-set analysis
2016
Abstract This study performs a fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to determine the conditions that lead to high performance of independent financial advisors. The study examines the performance of these companies in terms of their involvement in innovation activities, participation in business networks, and open innovation as a strategy to cope with difficult market conditions resulting from the recent economic downturn. This approach clarifies the relationship between combinations of conditions and high performance. The results suggest that involvement in innovation activities is the most relevant factor in financial advisors performance. Independent financial advisors may …
Open Science now: A systematic literature review for an integrated definition
2018
Abstract Open Science is a disruptive phenomenon that is emerging around the world and especially in Europe. Open Science brings about socio-cultural and technological change, based on openness and connectivity, on how research is designed, performed, captured, and assessed. Several studies show that there is a lack of awareness about what Open Science is, mainly due to the fact that there is no formal definition of Open Science. The purpose of this paper is to build a rigorous, integrated, and up-to-date definition of the Open Science phenomenon through a systematic literature review. The resulting definition “Open Science is transparent and accessible knowledge that is shared and develope…
THE EFFECT OF INBOUND, OUTBOUND AND COUPLED INNOVATION ON PERFORMANCE
2012
The focus of this paper is on exploring linkages among Open Innovation practices and firm performance. While, in the last ten years, a certain amount of papers facing such issue has been published, most of them treat inbound, outbound, and coupled innovation practice processes separately respect to different dimensions of innovation and financial performance. We argue that the concurrent influence of specific Open Innovation practices on both innovation and economic-financial firms' performance has not been investigated so far into the literature and it is of primary managerial importance. We empirically test our framework on a sample of 105 companies listed on the Industrial Machinery and…
The concurrent effect of Open Innovation practices on both innovation and financial performance: empirical evidences from bio-pharmaceutical industry
2012
Purpose – The research presented in this paper explores the effect of Open Innovation on firm performance in the biopharmaceutical industry. Specifically, although existing researches on Open Innovation effectiveness have separately investigated the effect of Open Innovation practices on innovation and financial performance, this study evaluates the concurrent effect of these practices on both such performance dimensions in a single framework. Design/methodology/approach – We measure firm performance and Open Innovation activities of companies listed on NASDAQ; specifically, the study focuses on 128 companies listed in the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index. This industry provides an ideal context …
