Physical goods producers routinely collaborate with digital platforms to extend their distribution capabilities. They usually realize that digital platform firms differ from them in their strategies and capabilities, and that significant opportunities arise from innovating digital platforms being able to collect, analyze, and leverage behavioral customer data related to the consumption experience. However, collaborating with digital platforms is likely to put competitive pressure on the incumbent’s margins, and, in extremis, encourage entry by the platform into the incumbent’s business. These threats can be moderated by limiting access to the incumbent’s technology and supply chain, or by building an in-house digital platform.

Drawing on data from white-collar inmates in a United States Federal Prison, this article explains what causes individuals to commit misconduct. Flawed intuition captures the consistent pattern of instinctive, muddled logic by individuals who are influenced by a toxic mix of individual behavioral triggers, organizational context, and the wider industry environment. Combined with limited reflection and/or discussion with others, flawed intuition captures how people cross legal lines owing to a system where factors at multiple levels are working in tandem. This article provides practical recommendations for what can be done to prevent it.

In an era of catastrophic climate change, businesses that are sustainable will be more likely to survive and thrive. The same is true of business schools. This article discusses different business school approaches to this transformation, touching on both successes and ongoing challenges. While its focus is on Berkeley Haas, it also draws on a 2022 benchmarking survey of other business schools. Mainstreaming sustainability education into the business school curriculum is not without its challenges, yet considerable progress has been made in mainstreaming sustainability into all aspects of business education.

To address climate change, firms are increasingly forming sustainability alliances. Pursuing sustainability via such alliances is challenging as it means working with multifaceted and not necessarily compatible goals. Moreover, it often requires collaboration among heterogeneous partners outside traditional industrial contexts as well as dealing with wicked problems. This article presents a multiple-case study of eight sustainability alliances in Sweden, identifying managerial challenges and solutions over three phases where such alliances unfold. It offers a framework, tailored to each phase, to help companies fulfill their goals by proactively addressing the challenges posed by the pursuit of sustainability through alliances.

Highly regulated industries such as healthcare can reap significant benefits from new digital technologies. However, due to institutional constraints, adopting such technologies is a slow and difficult process. Technology providers need to legitimize their underlying technologies to the customers and other stakeholders in the field. Drawing on multiple case studies in the healthcare industry, this article demonstrates how technology providers deploy two legitimizing practices: solution selling and issue selling. These activities lead to the emergence of open innovation ecosystems that help technology providers overcome adoption barriers.

This study explores the dynamics between the extremes of open innovation (OI)—from inclusive co-creation to exclusive vertical integration (VI). This analysis addresses the management issues of how Tesla and Porsche manage value capture and value distribution in the e-mobility industry through their contrasting approaches and strategic shifts between OI and VI. It develops a novel theoretical model juxtaposing the OI mode from open to closed with the value chain position from horizontal to vertical. Analyzing Tesla and Porsche’s strategic moves offers a paradigm shift for OI practitioners. Our model can enable enhanced value capture through greater openness and more inclusive value distribution through proactive inside-out strategies in core technology areas. Instead of positioning VI and OI as static polar extremes, a novel combination of VI and OI can realize untapped potential.
本研究探讨了开放式创新(OI)--从包容性共同创造到排他性垂直整合(VI)--两个极端之间的动态。该分析探讨了特斯拉和保时捷如何通过其截然不同的方法以及在开放式创新和纵向一体化之间的战略转变,管理电动汽车行业的价值获取和价值分配。分析建立了一个新颖的理论模型,将从开放到封闭的 OI 模式与从横向到纵向的价值链定位并列起来。分析特斯拉和保时捷的战略举措为开放式创新实践者提供了一种范式转变。我们的模式可以通过更大程度的开放来提高价值获取能力,并通过在核心技术领域采取由内而外的积极战略来实现更具包容性的价值分配。与其将VI和OI定位为静态的两极极端,VI和OI的新颖结合可以实现尚未开发的潜力。

Artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance, enable, or replace traditional open innovation (OI) practices, changing the scope and efficiency of both outside-in and inside-out OI. This article provides a comprehensive framework to analyze AI’s influence on OI, supported by illustrative examples, and outlines the key implications for organizations and researchers. The co-evolutionary relationship between AI and OI will be a central focus in both research and practice moving forward.

Disruptions often call for rapid innovation at scale. Open innovation (OI) is critical in such contexts because it allows organizations to access resources beyond the firm’s boundaries. Yet, many OI projects fail, posing significant risks during disruptions. This article examines 12 ventilator development projects during the COVID-19 pandemic, of which only seven succeeded. Fifty-five interviews were analyzed to understand how organizational roles influence the outcomes of OI projects in times of disruption. The key finding is that projects that succeeded involved an organizational role largely absent in those that failed: namely, a catalyst.

Open Innovation (OI) has become a key part of corporate strategy, and many firms have adopted dedicated organizational functions to leverage OI. However, current literature lacks insights into how firms deploy such functions and what they do. To address this issue, this article provides insights from interviews with senior managers in dedicated OI functions in 20 different firms. The findings reveal three ways that firms can employ these functions and the key practices for which they are responsible. Finally, dedicated OI functions can change over time as the firms’ OI capabilities mature.
