The Culture for Open Innovation Dynamics

Abstract

Culture, in its various forms, has always been a critical driver of innovation. This paper focuses on generating some insights into the role of “culture for open innovation dynamics”. First, because the requirement to understand culture, which can control open innovation complexity, has been augmented, we want to answer the following research question in this study: How can we define or organize “culture for open innovation dynamics”, which can motivate open innovation dynamics, and control open innovation complexity? Second, we propose a concept model of culture for open innovation dynamics by reviewing the literature on the culture of firms in terms of their traits, organization, static innovation, and dynamic aspects regarding their innovation in entrepreneurship, and we validate said model through an indirect social experiment using the research results of 23 Special Issue papers. Third, the concept model of culture for open innovation dynamics is explained as the interaction between three different entrepreneurship dimensions: Entrepreneurship of novice entrepreneurs, intrapreneurship of employees of an existing firm, and organizational entrepreneurship by the firm itself. According to the balance of three sub-entrepreneurship types, culture for open innovation dynamics can have different aspects, namely, entrepreneurship leading culture for open innovation dynamics, intrapreneurship leading culture for open innovation dynamics, or organizational entrepreneurship leading culture for open innovation dynamics. This paper helps organizations and entrepreneurs to better understand the role that culture plays in boosting open innovation dynamics.

A Comparative Analysis of Municipal Public Innovation: Evidence from Romania and United States

“…Thus, it is not surprising that we find more stable clusters of such good practices in developed economies (e.g., the US, UK, Australia, or Singapore), in different development stages and with different typologies [93]. This reveals again the role of environment in supporting innovation [44], and namely of a culture of open innovation dynamics [94] that will also apply to the public sector [95], channeling benefits not only for the growth of companies and economies [96], but for cities and societies as well [97,98].…”

Elaboration of a Mechanism for Sustainable Enterprise Development in Innovation Ecosystems

“…Entrepreneurial sustainability is relying more and more on collaboration through dynamic and open platforms. These trends bring new topics to the concept of sustainability in terms of culture creation [12], governing mechanisms [13], communication channels, and other aspects of open innovation dynamics [14].…”
