“…The probability of innovation -of all types -is positively linked to scale, design spend (Filipetti 2010), exporting (Love and Roper 2015), external partnerships (Moon 2011), in house R&D (Love and S 2001;Love and Roper 2005) and innovation related investment in external knowledge, market intelligence and equipment in both the UK and Spain.…”

Innovation policy aims to stimulate innovation and hence firm-level productivity and growth. Here, we use data from the national innovation panel surveys in the UK and Spain over the 2004 to 2012 period to explore the effectiveness of regional, national and EU innovation support in promoting the extent of innovation activity, its novelty, and market success. Allowing for potential selection effects, our results suggest that regionalised support is most influential in increasing the probability of undertaking both process and organisational innovations. For both the UK and Spain, national innovation support is associated with a higher probability of product or service innovation, and the degree of novelty of product or service innovations. In terms of innovation success (sales) we see a rather different pattern in the UK and Spain. In the UK only regionalised support is associated with increased innovative sales. In Spain, innovative sales are influenced by both regional, national and EU support measures. Our results suggest that moves towards more centralised innovation policy in the UK since 2012 may reinforce a focus on leading edge, novel product and service innovation while placing less emphasis on broadly based process and organizational innovation.

“…The majority of publications focus either on (1) the determinants/ antecedents of firms' openness to external sources of knowledge or (2) (Keupp and Gassmann 2009), firms' appropriability strategy (Moon 2011), firms' absorptive capacity (Bogers and Lhuillery 2011), the type of knowledge concerned (Bonesso et al 2011) and the complementarity between firms' external and internal R&D (Cassiman and Valentini 2009;Choi et al 2012).…”

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.

“…In a related study, Freel and Aslesen (2013) consider the role of organisational structure on firms' partnering strategies, providing evidence that less hierarchic firms develop more diverse connections, and that team or project-based working may be particularly conducive to the development of deep or strong links between firms. A similar study by (Moon 2011) links the breadth of firms' (interactive) knowledge search activities to their use of IP protection.…”

“…Some antecedents of firms' knowledge acquisition strategies have been discussed elsewhere, with a focus on the influence of firms' internal capabilities and structure. Absorptive capacity, for example, typically measured using R&D and human capital measures, has been shown to play a significant role in shaping firms' ability to take advantage of external knowledge Moon 2011). Xia and Roper (2014) also identify a positive relationship between realised absorptive capacity and the extent of partnering activity of small biotechnology firms.…”
