Abstract
Various resource constraints of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) highlight the strategy of cooperation for innovation as it enhances organizations’ options and breadth of knowledge sources. Nevertheless, research lacks guidance on why, with whom, and how to cooperate and has so far not provided a comprehensive overview of the characteristics of cooperation to foster SMEs innovativeness. To build a conceptual body of knowledge for further iterations, we conducted a structured literature review since, to our best knowledge, there is as yet no structured knowledge on cooperation for innovation among SMEs that could have served as the basis of a taxonomy. Our taxonomy delineates the design options for practitioners and advises that one select organization-specific parameters. With this taxonomy, we conceptually structure existing research and empower practitioners to analyze their current cooperation projects, reconsider them, and gain knowledge to design new ways of cooperation that best suit their aims.
期刊介绍：
The journal name relates to Harvard Business School''s understanding of "The Entrepreneurial Venture" (Sahlmann/Stevenson/Roberts/Bhidé), the concept of entrepreneurship not only limited to new ventures/start-ups, but further understood as the concentration of opportunity/growth/value creation regardless of company size, age or kind. Hence, IJEV addresses organisational processes surrounding these concepts: from an idea to an innovation. To bridge the gap between innovation and entrepreneurship research, IJEV emphasises implications of this new knowledge for researchers, managers, public policy makers and business educators. Topics covered include: -Opportunity: identification; recognition; creation; selection; exploitation -Growth: management of rapidly growing enterprises; control -Value creation: for owners; for customers; other stakeholders; society -Entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship -New venture creation -Management of technology and innovation -New product development and creativity -SME management -Entrepreneurial and small enterprise finance -Crowdsourcing and crowdfunding -Family business -Gender and diversity -Global entrepreneurship and internationalisation -Public policy, the economy, and the small enterprise -Business and organisational failure
