Partner Selection for Open Innovation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Open innovation is a popular approach within innovation studies and innovation in practice. Open innovation is defined as "the use of purposive inflows and outflows of knowledge to accelerate internal innovation, and extend the markets for external use of innovation, respectively" (Chesbrough et al., 2006; tinyurl.com/ d5aaxah). A significant amount of research has been devoted to different aspects of innovation partnerships, such as the motives for, and the impacts of, collaboration. However, the important aspect of partner selection for open innovation has received limited attention from scholars (Li et al., 2008; tinyurl.com/csgdhvq). At the same time, selection of the right partner is probably the most crucial aspect of open-innovation success (Solesvik and Westhead, 2010; tinyurl.com/cujskmc). To better understand partner-selection issues, additional research is warranted to explore which mode of partner selection leads to a more effective open-innovation process.
