  • Different practices for open innovation: a context-based approach

    June 12, 2013 Editor 0

    Abstract

    Purpose – We investigate the concept of open innovation, identify different open innovation practices which help describe the continuum between closed and open innovation, and propose a framework that suggests an association between innovation contexts and practices.Design/methodology/approach – We first identify the variables to describe innovation contexts and practices. Such variables are developed based on the literature and on a previous paper of the same authors (Bellantuono et al., 2011). Then, we establish an association between contexts and practices, and test it through cases drawn from the existing literature.Findings – The paper proposes a detailed assessment of open innovation practices and suggests the association between each of them and diverse innovation contexts. A few case examples drawn from the literature prove coherent with the theoretical framework underlying the proposed association.Practical implications – Our results (and specifically the framework) enhance the organizations’ awareness of the open innovation concept and the possible practices to implement it, as well as support managers to better select open innovation practices in different contexts.Originality/value – This paper discussed the concept of open innovation practices to enhance the comprehension of the open innovation concept. Also, to our knowledge, the proposed association between context and practices is original in that there are no similar theoretical frameworks that help organizations selecting innovation practices.
