Open innovation adoption from strategy to practice: Implications from organizational ambidexterity and dynamic capabilities
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to explore if ambidextrous strategy can support structured open innovation practices through dynamic capabilities. Drawing on multi-disciplinary literature with complementary theoretical roots, open innovation is linked to higher level organizational ambidextrous strategy and organizational processes that encompass dynamic capabilities. A theoretical framework is developed to portray these subtle and nested relations that may facilitate open innovation solutions in response to organizational challenges. Finally, conclusion and contribution are briefly summarized.
