“…In particular, R&D intensive SMEs can prefer technology sourcing to other types of open innovation strategies ( Lee et al, 2017) as this strategy allows to exploit existing synergies among different knowledge bases (Messeni Petruzzelli and Murgia, 2020). Acquisition of foreign patents is a specific technology sourcing strategy (Garcia-Muina and Gonzales-Sanchez, 2017). Firms stand to benefit from the combination of external knowledge produced in different geographies when they are involved in the development of complex innovations (Capaldo et al, 2017) while searching across different knowledge domains 15 .…”

“…These include the acquisition of foreign intellectual property (IP) that assist firms to access external knowledge considered unique. They can also complement internal knowledge (Garcia-Muina and Gonzales-Sanchez, 2017) and crucially cannot be accessed by local competitors, as it is generated in geographically distant locations (Vertesy et al, 2017). Therefore, acquiring foreign IP can be appealing to R&D intensive firms.…”

“…practices vary across firms(Brunswicker & Van de Vrande 2014;Weissenberger-Eibl & Hampel, 2021). While some firms prefer to engage in strategic alliances, others engage in technology sourcing by acquiring the external IP directly produced by other firms(Garcia-Muina & Gonzales- Sanchez, 2017;Jeppesen & Molin, 2003). There are multiple benefits of knowledge sourcing through the acquisition of IP, such as increased innovation performance and reduced innovation costs.…”

The purpose of this article is three-fold: first, it tests whether inter-industry R&D spillovers are positively associated with the likelihood of experiencing high growth episodes among R&D intensive firms in Europe, US and Japan; second, it tests whether such a relationship is conditional on their level of absorptive capacity (ACAP); third, it tests whether the acquisition of foreign patents please replace brackets with commas may trigger high growth episodes among a sub-set of R&D intensive firms. For the empirical analysis, we focus on R&D intensive manufacturing firms observed between 2002 and 2017, located in Europe, US and Japan. The empirical findings support the hypotheses suggesting that: a) inter-industry R&D spillovers are associated with the likelihood of experiencing high growth episodes; b) ACAP conditions the relationship between inter-industry R&D spillovers and the likelihood of experiencing high growth episodes and c) shares of foreign patents are positively associated with the likelihood of experiencing high growth episodes among high-tech R&D intensive firms.

“…Dyer and Nobeoka (2000) concluded that Toyota’s knowledge-sharing routines with partners result in improved competitive advantage. García-Muiña and González-Sánchez (2017) and Nieto and Santamaría (2017) provide empirical evidence of the role that assimilation routines have, making cooperation agreements an efficient source of external knowledge. Schilke and Goerzen (2010) also highlight that interorganizational learning capabilities represent a key advantage in alliances and have a positive impact on the amount of resources obtained from them.…”

In this research, we analyze the influence of two alliance management capabilities, coordination and interorganizational learning, on the performance of alliances for innovation. By adopting a contingency view, we explore whether the effectiveness of these capabilities depends on certain features of the alliance portfolio configuration (partner and geographic diversity). Based on a sample of Spanish companies belonging to the five leading biotech clusters, our results demonstrate that alliance management capabilities are not equally effective across different contexts. Alliance coordination capabilities become more effective when partner diversity is low and geographic diversity is high. By contrast, interorganizational learning capabilities have a positive effect on alliance portfolio performance when partner diversity is high and geographic diversity is low. These results also have useful implications for managers involved in alliances for innovation, who can direct the organizational efforts towards the most effective alliance capabilities, depending on the features of their alliance portfolio.

“…As seen in Table II, the experiential dimension has received less attention and it has been poorly defined. Coherently, the exploitation phase of the absorptive capacity has suffered from the same problems (García-Muiña and González-Sánchez, 2017). By contrast, the other three dimensions have been studied in depth.…”

Purpose The hostile environments in which museums operate force them to be innovative. Most of them have fewer resources and are publicly owned. Because these factors may hinder their innovative potential, this paper aims to propose an open innovation model adapted to this type of organization to improve visitors’ experience. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative method based on a thematic analysis is carried out. Data sources are: (i) focus group with stakeholders from the destination and (ii) in-depth interviews with museums experts. Findings This new framework is important because it brings something new to a field that previous research had barely considered. The study of the implementation of open innovation in publicly owned small and medium-sized museums brings to light the growing importance of the relational, organizational, technological and experiential dimensions, their interactions and their main constituent factors. Research limitations/implications The study is limited to a specific type of institution, and results should not be extrapolated to other contexts. The construct of open innovation is highly complex, and that advises future research to include other players. Quantitative methods and longitudinal techniques will contribute to tackling new challenges in future research works. Practical implications Results are helpful for museum managers and policymakers. Stakeholders improve their comprehension of how an open innovation model works because the paper offers a few guidelines for its active designing. A solid networking based on trust and the emphasis on improving the visitor experience determine making-decision processes. Originality/value The paper provides a systemic innovation management model for museums, where there is almost no previous research. It is theoretically supported in the open innovation paradigm, as well as the absorptive capacity framework. The emerging and central role of the experiential dimension constitutes another notable contribution to literature.
