“…Some authors emphasize that cooperation is associated with partnership relationships between agents that involve, besides the benefits of innovation, a share of cost sharing (Duran-Romero and Urraca-Ruiz, 2015). Still, cooperation is seen as an active participation in integration with other companies and institutions and not just outsourcing activities (Li-Ying et al , 2018). In addition to willingness, cooperation also presupposes goal setting, for example, research and development (R&D) in a specific technology (De Stefano and Montes-Sancho, 2018).…”

“…Among the possibilities, we highlight formal R&D cooperation, alliance, networks, project cooperation and public-private partnerships. Formal cooperation in R&D (Li-Ying et al , 2018) may take the form of joint ventures or non-equity alliances between companies and agreements with universities and research institutes (Li-Ying et al , 2018). Although substantial progress has been made in this area, understanding of the factors that may broaden or undermine the benefits of environmental R&D cooperation on performance is still limited (De Stefano and Montes-Sancho, 2018).…”

“…The success of reciprocity strategies often depends on the expectation of “future returns” from interactions, as partners are less likely to act opportunistically in the present when they anticipate possible future responses (Lin, 2019). Active mutual involvement in collaborative activities, therefore, is both the reason and result of interactive knowledge sharing and exploitation of complementary assets among employees (Li-Ying et al , 2018). In this context, external cooperation for eco-innovation development is based on social reciprocity based on the trust established between the partners (Liao and Long, 2019; Melander, 2017).…”

“…But solid trust can take time to develop, and questions about the partners' ability to deliver on their promise generate resistance to cooperative action (Melander, 2018). Specific contracts, therefore, may play a role in governance, in addition to trust (Li-Ying et al , 2018; Melander, 2018), with a view to protecting shared knowledge. However, as it is difficult to formulate agreements to cover all anti-operative situations, relational skills focused on social reciprocity and based on trust become even more relevant to achieving satisfactory results of eco-innovation cooperation (Melander, 2018).…”

Purpose The presentation of the specificities inherent in the adoption of the cooperation practices for the eco-innovation development is sometimes fragmented and superficial in the literature. So, the purpose of this paper is to analyze how the literature has studied the association between interorganizational cooperation and the development of eco-innovation, for the developing a framework with the different faces of this connection. Design/methodology/approach To achieve the proposed objective, the authors conducted a literature review through the Web of Science database. The selected manuscripts were analyzed from the following categories: Why to cooperate?, What is cooperation?, How to cooperate?, Who to cooperate with?, How much is it worth to cooperate?, Where does cooperation take place?, When to cooperate?, and So what?. Findings Given the proposed objective, as a general aspect highlighted, the analyzed articles revealed that interorganizational cooperation has been presented as relevant for the development of eco-innovations. Thus, cooperation on their different faces allows companies to overcome resource constraints, even partially, while facilitating the development of different types of ecological innovations as costs and risks are reduced. Originality/value The theoretical contribution is expected to be the proposition of a framework capable of systematizing several specificities, including the antecedents and motivations, definitions and cooperation types, cooperation partners, important conditions that highlight how much cooperation is worth, where and when cooperation occurs and, finally, the main insights of this association, to guide future studies.

“…Recent studies on green innovation have investigated the external search strategy of green innovative firms in terms of 'breadth' and 'depth' (Cainelli et al, 2015;Ghisetti et al, 2015;González-Moreno et al, 2019;Kobarg et al, 2020;Liao & Tsai, 2019;Li-Ying et al, 2018;Martínez-Ros & Kunapatarawong, 2019;Moreno-Mondéjar et al, 2020;Muscio et al, 2017;Olsen et al, 2017;Saez-Martinez et al, 2016;Triguero et al, 2018).…”

Innovation is a crucial dimension for the transition to a greener Europe, a process that has accelerated notably in the latest years. An open mode has been applied to those innovation that mitigate the impact of economic activities on the natural environment, which is green open innovation (GOI). This is approach is mainly driven by the importance of stakeholders and the specificity of environmental fields, which call for a greater role of the external collaboration in green innovation. Although the interest of management scholars and practitioners in GOI has increased enormously, the empirical GOI literature has overlooked a project-level approach. Firms may have heterogenous openness across different projects depending on the characteristics of the projects or the strategic objective of the firm. This paper contributes to GOI literature by investigating whether green projects are more open than non-green projects in terms of breadth and depth of knowledge sources. Based on a dataset of projects funded by Seventh European research framework, the results confirm the greater openness of environmental-related research projects. These results corroborate the necessity for managers to apply an open mode to green innovation, especially in highly competitive calls such as the European Union framework program.

This paper analyses factors determining open environmental innovation (EI) and explores the possibility of embracing their tensions to achieve integrated environmental strategic goals.Building on recent literature linking open innovation and EI, the study assumes open EI strategic goals as a multidimensional construct based on the “synergistic and interwoven nature” of four identified enabling factors, that is, partners, knowledge, benefits, and motivations.A fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) based on Boolean algebra is conducted to analyse a set of 186 European companies operating in the telecommunication and information and communication technology (ICT) service industries.Making important theoretical, managerial, and policy contributions, this paper offers insights into the key factors enabling open EI and the tensional relationships within and between them. In doing so, it captures the non‐linear effects among these factors and the strategic goals related to an open EI strategy. It also suggests how the paradox theory might help in addressing the tensional dilemma of open EI strategy.
