“…However, in the last years, even with the growing importance of topics related to the fuzzy front-end ( VAN DE VRANDE et al, 2009;HUIZINGH, 2011;MÜLLER-SEITZ;REGER, 2010;LICHTENTHALER, 2010;SPITHOVEN et al, 2011;BADAWY, 2011), it seems that less effort has been allocated to explore the integration strategies, both for SMEs and large companies.…”

Abstract:The differences between technology and product are clear and established in the literature. This paper investigated the hypothesis that some SMEs are unable to distinguish technologies and products within their innovation processes, occasioning product technology integration problems. This study aims to explore the technology-product integration in SMEs through the analysis of the application of simultaneous and sequential integration strategies. A case research method was employed to investigate and compare successful product innovations of 22 SMEs. Data were collected through interviews and using a semi-structured questionnaire. The findings indicate that most of these companies either do not use integration strategies or use them inappropriately. The technology-product integration management in SMEs needs further investigation and new methods. This research is one of the first attempts to investigate the technology-product integration within SMEs, which is a class of companies essential for innovation in industry. Past studies have focused large companies only, which can be considered a complete different context.

“…Finally, the contributions that aim to integrate the outbound dimension of external technology commercialization with the inbound dimension of external technology sourcing discuss the implications of such an integrative perspective for the management of external technology commercialization in general (Lichtenthaler 2008a, Lichtenthaler andLichtenthaler 2010) or describe the implications for the governance of knowledge flows (Lichtenthaler and Ernst 2006;Lichtenthaler 2008cLichtenthaler , 2009Lichtenthaler , 2011bTukel et al 2011) and the management of intellectual property in particular (Chesbrough 2003a;Alexy et al 2009). …”

Exploring the scope of open innovation: a bibliometric review of a decade of research

The concept of open innovation has attracted considerable attention since Henry Chesbrough first coined it to capture the increasing reliance of firms on external sources of innovation. Although open innovation has flourished as a topic within innovation management research, it has also triggered debates about the coherence of the research endeavors pursued under this umbrella, including its theoretical foundations. In this paper, we aim to contribute to these debates through a bibliometric review of the first decade of open innovation research. We combine two techniques-bibliographic coupling and co-citation analysis-to (1) visualize the network of publications that explicitly use the label 'open innovation' and (2) to arrive at distinct clusters of thematically related publications. Our findings illustrate that open innovation research builds principally on four related streams of prior research, whilst the bibliographic network of open innovation research reveals that seven thematic clusters have been pursued persistently. While such persistence is undoubtedly useful to arrive at in-depth and robust insights, the observed patterns also signal the absence of new, emerging, themes. As such, 'open innovation' might benefit from applying its own ideas: sourcing concepts and models from a broader range of theoretical perspectives as well as pursuing a broader range of topics might introduce dynamics resulting in more impact and proliferation.

“…al., 2009). However, even if the licensing of internally developed technology to another company may be an important strategic benefit that generates revenues for the company and represents the sale of residual knowledge, it may also prove restrictive and compromise the performance and profit generation of the company (Lichtenthaler, 2010). Teece (2007) emphasizes that dynamic capabilities are rooted in the acquisition of resources external to the firm, in such a way that it may understand and map its opportunities and threats, and seize the opportunities to maintain competitiveness by increasing, combining, protecting and reinventing its business model (Teece, 2007;Teece et.al., 1997).…”

Open Innovation is increasingly being introduced in international and national organizations for the creation of value. Open innovation is a practical tool, requiring new strategies and decisions from managers for the exploitation of innovative activities. The basic question that this study seeks to answer is linked to the practice of open innovation in connection with the open business model geared towards the creation of value in a Brazilian company. This paper aims to present a case study that illustrates how open innovation offers resources to change the open business model in order to create value for the Brazilian company. The case study method of a company in the sector of pharma-chemical products was used. The results indicate that internal sources of knowledge, external sources of knowledge and accentuate working partnerships were adopted by company as strategies to offer resources to change the open business model in order to create value.
