“…In the survey for OI practices, the intention was to ascertain whether the firms were aware of the OI practice or not and further to know what form/s of OI practices the firms were either implementing or intended to do so in future. Basically, out of the eight, only six items elicited complete responses on knowledge sharing and collaboration as indicators of OI practice (Podmetina et al , 2014a, b; Tripathi, 2016) .…”

“…According to Balietta and Callahan (1992), collaboration has been defined as the development of knowledge through relationships with specific partner organizations (universities or research institutes). Tripathi has (2016) highlighted collaboration in case of OI in the manufacturing industry as inbound acquisition of firms/technology (Vanhaverbeke et al , 2002), external commercialization of technology (Kutvonen, 2011), co-creation of patents (Lin et al , 2012) etc. Tripathi (2016) has also compiled a list of important modes of collaboration as follows: university–industry collaborations (UIC) (Mansfield, 1986; Belderbos and Carree, 2004); external acquisition of knowledge (Fey and Birkinshaw, 2005; Huang and Rice, 2009; Inauen and Schenker-Wicki, 2011); licensing out and licensing in (Tsai and Chang, 2008).…”

M&A has been identified as an indicator of OI studies and as a mode of patent acquisition (Vyas, 2012; Cao, 2013).…”

“…Only those firms were considered, which already had patents granted by Indian Patent Office (IPO) between 2005 and 2017. The need to study barriers to OI implementation (Vyas et al , 2012; Tripathi, 2016; Krishna and Jain, 2016) exists as few generic studies from developing countries like India.…”

PurposePatents as one of the important components of intellectual capital are emerging as a new source for mining insights on open innovation (OI) practice of the organizations. Their role in value creation through collaboration and the inter-firm differences is yet to be explored in depth.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve the aim, survey data is analyzed to rank OI practices (collaboration) of the firms, while patent data are analyzed to carry out descriptive and bivariate analysis to study the inter-firm differences in collaboration.FindingsThe survey findings highlight mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and patent pooling as the top two preferred modes of OI, while from patent data M&A has emerged as a predominant OI practice for mainly nonresident firms. At the firm level characteristics, out of firm age, number of granted patents and firm size, firm age has been found to be somewhat significant in few cases of OI practices.Research limitations/implicationsIt provides an alternative source, in this case patent data to study open innovation capabilities of firms in India. There is contribution to the patent value theory from profit motive to deriving strategic decisions on collaboration.Practical implicationsThe managerial implications of this study lie in realizing granted patents as important business tools for seeking collaboration, tracing competitive intelligence and the geography of innovation of the firms' competitors.Originality/valueThe dataset of granted patents at the Indian Patent office (2005–2017), the sample of pharmaceutical firms drawn from this list of patents, patent data– based OI insights and the use of multiple imputation technique to missing data for meaningful insights are some of the unique aspects of this paper.

“…Thus, R&D indirectly influences the SMEs to adopt an innovation approach (Kafouros and Forsans, 2012). Further Tripathi (2016) conclude that the adoption of open innovation practices such as collaboration is influenced by the R&D activities of SMEs in Indian manufacturing.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors influencing small and medium enterprises’ (SMEs) adoption of innovation approaches. Design/methodology/approach The methodology involves two steps. First, all the variables relevant to the adoption of innovation in SMEs are identified. Subsequently, primary data are gathered from decision makers of 213 SMEs, and a multinomial logistic regression analysis is performed. Findings The results indicate that SMEs adopt both open innovation and closed innovation approaches. The firm-level factors such as firm age, firm size, education qualification, work experience and culture, and external factors such as customers, competition, technological advances and ecosystem influence adoption of open innovation approach compared to closed innovation approach. Factors such as culture among firm-level factors and competition among external factors influence the adoption of closed innovation approach. Practical implications The study helps the managers or the decision makers of the SMEs to know the suitable factors influencing the firm to adopt innovation which could potentially help the firms in their business strategy. Originality/value The study explores the adoption of innovation approaches of SMEs in emerging economies. The outcomes of this research have far-reaching implications for theory and practitioners in emerging economies.

Navigating the open innovation paradox: an integrative framework for adopting open innovation in pharmaceutical R&D in developing countries

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this paper, we combine evidence from eight Indian pharmaceutical firms with extant literature and global best practices to conceptualize an integrative framework addressing the open innovation paradox (OIP), i.e., the tension between intellectual protection and openness. Firms in developing countries face additional challenges in the adoption of open innovation, such as the prevalence of open science norms, weak technology transfer systems, and mistrust between universities and industry; therefore, they employ open innovation selectively for pharmaceutical research. Prior research has examined the strategies to resolve OIP in the context of developed countries; the integrative framework proposed in this paper describes strategies for resolving the OIP in the context of developing countries. This framework illuminates the coping processes of the case firms and provides guidelines to uplift and accelerate the adoption of open innovation strategies in developing countries’ pharmaceutical sectors, and thus provides value to both theory and praxis.
