Abstract

We synthesize and provide a critical overview of the set of quantitative papers on open innovation which have had an influence on analyses of open innovation in a corporate strategy context. We categorize the literature into (a) firms’ external search and knowledge sourcing activities, (b) absorptive capacity, and (c) appropriability. We discuss the firm and individual level contributions to each of these literature streams, identifying those contributions specific to knowledge about open innovation and unresolved issues which represent future research opportunities. In addition, we try to draw some lessons in terms of future challenges for open innovation research in relation to the growth and influence of this domain. Specifically, we discuss some specific problems related to the robustness, validity, reliability, and causal identification of open innovation research, and how these might be overcome through a new research approach. We conclude by proposing a checklist for future quantitative empirical studies of open innovation.

我们对开放式创新的了解,未解决的问题,以及未来研究的清单
我们综合并提供了一组关于开放式创新的定量论文,这些论文对企业战略背景下的开放式创新分析产生了影响。我们将文献分类为(a)公司的外部搜索和知识采购活动,(b)吸收能力,以及(c)适宜性。我们讨论了企业和个人层面对这些文献流的贡献,确定了那些对开放式创新知识的具体贡献,以及代表未来研究机会的未解决问题。此外,我们试图在与该领域的增长和影响有关的开放式创新研究的未来挑战方面吸取一些教训。具体而言,我们讨论了与开放式创新研究的稳健性、有效性、可靠性和因果识别相关的一些具体问题,以及如何通过新的研究方法来克服这些问题。最后,我们为开放式创新的未来定量实证研究提出了一个清单。

期刊介绍: This peer-reviewed journal, established in 1973, uses the lenses of industrial and business economics to investigate issues relevant to scholars, managers and policy makers. The key areas of interest of JIBE are: industrial organization and policy; international business and international economics; innovation and entrepreneurship; corporate governance and finance. Within these key areas, JIBE pays special attention to topics relating to grand challenges in a transforming world. A non exhaustive list of current issues includes: emergent technologies and industry dynamics; the digitalization of industries and financial markets; evolving multinationals and global value chains; environmental change and green transition; sustainable development of emerging economies; competition, regulation and structural policies in the platform economy. JIBE welcomes papers that combine advancements in the theoretical understanding of phenomena with rigorous, systematic and original evidence-based empirical analysis, using quantitative or qualitative approaches as well as experimental and mixed methods. The journal is open to industry-, firm- and individual-level analyses, while the geographic scope may vary from subnational regions to nations and supra-national contexts, with a particular consideration of the EU and other integration processes. The journal also publishes special issues and symposia aimed at opening debate among scholars on specific topics and discovery-type papers on emerging issues in industrial and business economics. The journal is owned by the Associazione Amici di Economia e Politica Industriale.
