“…An open innovation economy indicates an economy based on SMEs or start-ups led by individual entrepreneurs. It features a new combination between technology and the market suggested by Schumpeter (Brunswicker & van de Vrande, 2014;Schumpeter, 1934, pp. 15, 65).…”

The purpose of this study is to answer the research question, "How do we conquer the growth limits of capitalism?" Based on existing studies on growth limits of capitalism by Marx and Schumpeter as well as the recent discussions of Drucker, Rifkin, and Piketty, the dynamic model of an open innovation economy system (OIES) is proposed as an answer to this research question. OIES consists of an open innovation economy, closed innovation economy, and social innovation economy. The dynamics of OIES occurs from the positive interaction among the open innovation economy, closed innovation economy, and social innovation economy. The dynamics of the OIES circle are from an open innovation economy, through a closed innovation economy and social innovation economy, and back to an open innovation economy again. In addition, the validation of the model for the dynamics of OIES is improved by simulating the life cycle of the dynamics of OIES, low-level OIES dynamics, and high-level OIES dynamics, and by inquiring about a practical economic system corresponding to each simulation situation. Next through a comparative discussion between the linear steps of Schumpeter 1 and 2, and Socialist Democracy, and the dynamics of an open Innovation economic system, the practical and theoretical characteristics of the dynamics of OIES are clearly defined. Finally, the limits of this study and a follow-up research project are presented in addition to a summary of the discussion.

“…Acquisition refers to the absorption of external technologies whereas exploitation refers to technology commercialization. Brunswicker and Vanhaverbeke (2014) identified five strategies that SMEs adopt for searching: (1) minimal searchers, (2) supply-chain searchers, (3) technology-oriented searchers, (4) application-oriented searchers, and (5) full-scope searchers. They also identified that each strategy entails a mix of interactions with external sources of innovation such as (1) customers, (2) suppliers, (3) universities/ research organizations, (4) IPR experts, and (5) network partners.…”

Studies on open innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have experienced a rapid growth over the last several years. Yet, there is no comprehensive review on this field of research. The objective of this study is to examine current research on open innovation in SMEs to integrate empirical findings and to point out future research agenda. Findings suggest that studies are mostly performed based on panel data and only several studies include sophisticated statistical analysis. Studies are mostly conducted in the European context along with some studies in China and Korea while studies in the context of North America are scant. Open innovation improves the overall innovation performance of SMEs. However, relevant theories and models for managers are not well-established in the literature.

“…As such, the chapter builds on and extends the work carried out by Brunswicker and Van de Vrande (2014) who have equally conducted a literature search and have identified several interesting themes for further research, such as the important role of SMEs as coordinators/orchestrators of their OI relations and how to optimally fulfill this role. Furthermore, they have concluded that, while the literature on OI has grown exponentially ever since Henry Chesbrough published his groundbreaking work in 2003 (Chesbrough, 2003), SMEs have received only little attention.…”

“…An explicit focus on the specifics of the SME context when studying these companies is thus warranted. Hence, for the purpose of this book, this chapter extends the efforts of Brunswicker and Van de Vrande (2014) and Hossain and Kauranen (2016) with respect to mapping the OI in SMEs research field, albeit with a focus on the themes covered in subsequent chapters of this edited book.…”

A Systematic Review of the Literature on Open Innovation in SMEs

Researching Open Innovation in SMEs

This chapter provides a systematic review of the open innovation (OI) research carried out within the context of small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs). The chapter should provide an accurate understanding of current literature about OI in SMEs, and it elaborates many future research avenues. The recent increase in the number of publications in this field shows that it has gained the attention of the academicians. The existing research shows that SMEs organize and manage OI in an entirely different way from large companies. SMEs get involved in OI based on their own strategic needs, and OI mechanisms have to be designed differently for SMEs.
