“…In light of the growth in the adoption of longitudinal methods in the study of innovation (Perks & Roberts, 2013), the present research offers a new longitudinal perspective of innovation trends over time. More importantly, the present exploratory research may indicate the importance of the context in which innovation advances, in line with recent research suggesting that innovation advances with the development of society and the economy (Marques, 2014).…”

“…Our second study examines innovations that were actually commercialized, rather than patents or innovations that may have remained merely ideas. Some scholars do not even consider non-commercialized technologies as innovation, but rather as mere invention (Marques, 2014). Indeed, in many cases patents and ideas do not mature into working products, but remain passive knowledge that does not translate into further technological evolution (Golder et al, 2009;Trajtenberg, 1990).…”

The 20th century was characterized by growing trends of consumption and the introduction of new products that offered consumers various levels of innovation. The abundance of new products made technological innovation a central characteristic of 20th century consumer culture. Interestingly, when reflecting upon outstanding innovations of the 20th century, many of these seem to have been innovated during its early rather than late decades. The present exploratory study examines the occurrence of trends in the level of innovation in the 20th century. Using two complementary studies based on both objective and subjective innovation measures, our findings suggest that (1) trends in the level of innovation are observable and vary across industries, and (2), generally speaking, the level of innovation seems to be higher in the early decades of the 20th century, with the two different analyses indicating a decline in the level of innovation toward the end of the 20th century.

“…The principles defining an open process are completely inverse for a usual 'closed innovation' model, in which generated ideas and created innovations (which are further developed, commercialized and financed) exclusively are limited within the very firms. In the case of closed innovation, firms exceptionally rely on the performance of their research and development departments only; this is a linear, consistent process taking place within a firm (Marques, 2014). On the contrary, the model of open innovation is dynamic; it integrates different participants.…”

Involvement in different open innovation activities by using inflows and outflows of knowledge becomes the important premise for a successful business. However, on a global scale, open innovation literature does not pay enough attention to the international dimension, which is essential when seeking to increase the performance of overseas firm's activities. Therefore, the paper aims to highlight coherences of open innovation and internationalization by analyzing knowledge intensive SMEs in Lithuania. Referring to case studies approach it is disclosed how much firms are open in performing innovative activities by collaborating, how they share knowledge, what main profiles of national and foreign partners are and how open innovation is applied in internationalizing firm's activity. The research results indicated that while innovating firms were mostly focused on the R&D ecosystem oriented and innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem oriented networks at the national level. However, when internationalizing firm's activities, the preference to the international value chain oriented innovation network was disclosed. It contributes to the theory of open innovation from the knowledge intensive firms' internationalization point of view, especially in the understanding of open innovation's role in pursuing fast development in foreign markets while providing further knowledge on internationalization of firms originating from Baltic region area.

“…Innovation, which broadly involves the facilitation and generation of, inter alia, new ideas, products, and markets (Marques, 2014), has-both historically and conventionally-been cast as beneficial and positive for both individuals and organizations. In this vein, many definitions and variations of innovation have been developed in recent decades (Johannessen, Olsen and Lumpkin;Christensen, Scott, and Roth, 2013;Hedström and Wennberg, 2016).…”

Dark open innovation in a criminal organizational context: the case of Madoff’s Ponzi fraud

This paper investigates the processes of open innovation in the context of a fraudulent organization and, using the infamous Bernie L. Madoff Investment Securities (BLMIS) fraud case, introduces and elaborates upon the concept of dark open innovation. The paper's conceptual framework is drawn from social capital theory, which is grounded on the socio-economics of Bourdieu, Coleman and Putnam and is employed in order to make sense of the processes that occur within dark open innovation. Design/methodology/approach Given the self-evident access issues, this paper is necessarily based on archival and secondary sources taken from the court records of Madoff v New York-including victim impact statements, the defendant's Plea Allocution, and academic and journalistic commentaries-which enable the identification of the processes involved in dark open innovation. Significantly, this paper also represents an important inter-disciplinary collaboration between academic scholars variously informed by business and history subject domains. Findings Although almost invariably cast as a positive process, innovation can also be evidenced as a negative or dark force. This is particularly relevant in open innovation contexts, which often call for the creation of extended trust and close relationships. This paper outlines a case of dark open innovation. Research limitations/implications A key implication of this study is that organizational innovation is not automatically synonymous with human flourishing or progress. This paper challenges the automatic assumption of innovation being positive and introduces the notion of dark open innovation. Although this is accomplished by means of an in-depth single case, the findings have the potential to resonate in a wide spectrum of situations. Practical implications Innovation is a concept that applies across a range of organization and management domains. Criminals also innovate; thus, the paper provides valuable insights into the organizational innovation processes especially involved in relation to dark open innovation contexts. Social implications It is important to develop and fully understand the possible wider meanings of innovation and also to recognise that innovation-particularly dark open innovation-does not always create progress. The Caveat Emptor warning is still relevant. Originality/value The paper introduces the novel notion of dark open innovation.
