“…It should also be noted that "performance" is defined by Carrijo & Botelho (2013), as the generation of patents, new jobs, publication of articles, and product insertion into new markets. Merino et al (2018) emphasize that the opening of innovative processes can lead to the increase of potential and effective consumers Silva et al (2016) investigated the relationships of small business partnerships with external agents, and their results showed that the relationship between external agents and small firms favors innovative performance. In regional clusters, Prim et al (2016) found that firms that access additional resources with greater intensity tend to improve product and process innovation and export performance.…”

Systematic Review Creative Commons Attribution License 1. Introduction The last decades have challenged several firms to adopt new innovation models (Sikimic et al., 2016; Slater et al., 2014; Von Hippel, 1986). These challenges arise from companies in different parts of the world simultaneously searching for markets and new ways of organizing innovation; this creates opportunities to access new technologies, and novel supply possibilities and partnerships, not only with local companies, but also with firms in other countries. In this scenario, the Open Innovation (OI) concept as proposed by Chesbrough (2003) has been highlighted by practitioners and researchers (e.g., Laursen & Salter, 2006; Randhawa et al., 2016; Rubera et al., 2016) because of its potential to intensify the flow of internal and external knowledge in order to improve the innovation process. Due to recent changes in the business environment, reflected in the increasing speed of technological changes and shortened life cycle of products, it is difficult for companies to ensure their competitiveness through the unique and exclusive internal development of new technologies (D'Ambrosio et al., 2017). Therefore, many companies are developing more open ways to innovate what is also known as OI: a model in which companies more intensively use ideas and technologies developed inside and outside their borders in the innovation process (Chesbrough, 2012; Bogers et al., 2017). Furthermore, OI also tends to provide new sources of revenue for firms through actions such as inclusion in new markets and the prospects of spin-offs and trading licenses. These

“…Com o propósito de compreender a relação entre pequenas empresas e agentes externos de inovação e como o modelo de inovação aberta pode ajudar a fortalecer essas organizações, Silva G. et al (2016) empreenderam um estudo qualitativo, no qual entrevistaram gestores e proprietários de 6 pequenas empresas. Os resultados obtidos contribuem para a ideia de que pequenas empresas reconhecem a importância das fontes de conhecimento externos em suas estratégias de negócios e inovação e que os gestores acreditam nesses relacionamentos a fim de trazer competências essenciais para a renovação de seu negócio.…”

RESUMOO objetivo deste artigo é traçar um perfil da pesquisa científica em Inovação Aberta (IA) no Brasil no período de 2003 a 2016 em periódicos nacionais da área de administração. Almeja-se evidenciar lacunas existentes e oportunidades de contribuição para o avanço do tema. Foram identificados 32 estudos que revelam que o tema ainda não está consolidado nas agendas dos pesquisadores brasileiros. Os resultados destacam que: (i) os estudos empíricos são a maioria, com 24 artigos, dentre os quais 19 pesquisas têm natureza qualitativa, (ii) as únicas duas categorias temáticas identificadas são (1) Benefícios e vantagens da inovação aberta, com 13 estudos que ponderam sobre a relevância de se adotar o modelo de inovação aberta tanto na visão da organização quanto sob a ótica de clientes e da rede; e (2) Nível de adoção da inovação aberta, com 19 pesquisas relativas à efetiva adoção ou não do modelo de inovação aberta, no qual foram focalizadas organizações públicas e privadas que situam-se em diferentes indústrias e setores da economia.

“…Forming alliances has been a popular strategy among firms over the past two decades (Kayo, Kimura, Patrocínio, & Oliveira, 2010;Lazzarini, Brito, & Chaddad, 2013;Lioukas, Reuer, & Zollo, 2016;Silva, Dacorso, Costa, & Di Serio, 2016), and since then substantial attention has been drawn to the selection of an appropriate governance form, in particular the equity versus nonequity modes (Choi & Contractor, 2016;Colombo, 2003;García-Canal, Valdés-Llaneza, & Sánchez-Lorda, 2014). Simply put, an equity alliance refers to a new jointly-financed and managed entity that allying firms create, while a nonequity alliance is a contractual agreement without setting up a separate legal entity in the cooperation (Pisano, 1989;Oxley, 1999).…”

Interpartner Differences and Governance Mode Dilemma: The Role of Alliance Scope

It is generally recognized that the governance structure of an alliance, equity versus nonequity, is an important strategic choice. Since an alliance teams up companies that are inevitably divergent in upstream resource endowment and/or downstream market coverage, it is necessary to select an appropriate governance form to manage the interpartner differences and thus facilitate cooperation. Nevertheless, prior studies have suggested conflicting governance modes despite their adherence to the rationale of transaction cost economics. To address this gap in extant literature, the current study takes into account the moderation of alliance scope in the interfirm difference-governance choice linkage. In sum, this paper argues that, to determine a suitable governance structure, there is a need to concurrently examine how different the partnering firms are from each other and what range the collective activities cover. Hierarchical logistic regression analysis was used to test hypotheses in a sample of 125 bilateral alliances. The empirical findings indicate that nonequity modes will be preferred for the alliances that have less interfirm resource disparity and narrower alliance scopes, while equity-based forms will be chosen for the alliances that have less interfirm market divergence and narrower alliance scopes.
