Innovation Model

The empirical studies in the area of Open Innovation (OI) reveal that there is a significant bias in favour of countries on the technological frontier. The present study aims to bridge this gap by examining firms in Portugal, a country at an intermediate stage of technological development. Based on 70 innovative firms, we found that whatever perspective of the OI model is considered, firms tend, on average, to share a relatively closed innovation model when compared with firms located in countries where technological development is advanced. About a quarter of the surveyed firms implemented the OI model in their innovation strategy/business, this being much more widely disseminated regarding the absorption of external knowledge/technology, with almost 40% of firms surveyed acknowledging its use in comparison with the perspective of transfer of knowledge/technology to other organisations — less than 10% provide their “surplus technology” to other organisations. This result may indicate a lack of awareness of the economic potential of making internally created technologies available to third parties, albeit this potential might also depend on other circumstances such as technology architecture (the system and interdependence of technologies).

Innovation Model

In the past year, knowledge and innovation management have acquired increasing relevance in organizations. In the last decade, open innovation strategy, and in particular, crowdsourcing innovation model has also gained increasing importance. This model is seen as a new innovation model, capable of accelerating the innovation process. Therefore, it is important to understand how organizations can best take advantage of this innovation model. This paper approaches in two ways for commercializing intellectual property: crowdsourcing innovation, and intellectual property marketplaces. Thus, with the intention of understanding the concepts and practices, the study started by collecting scientific articles through bibliographic data bases. The paper provides knowledge about concepts and practices underlying the ways for commercializing intellectual property. It also contributes with a proposal of architecture for an intellectual property marketplace, based on the analysis of practices about crowdsourcing innovation and intellectual property marketplaces. This architecture is still in a draft stage, but already includes helpful insights for organizations interested in applying the open innovation strategy.

The article deals with the formation of effective interaction in the process of technology transfer. The subject of the study was the trends in the formation of the digital space of the transfer of knowledge and technology in Ukraine. The development of the transfer of knowledge and technology is based on the progress and formation of a digital society and the intensification of the processes of the formation of the information economy. The transfer of knowledge and technology is defined as the interaction of all participants of innovative processes to receive, transfer and exchange information, which is further implemented into the final innovative product. The peculiarity of the modern stage of the transfer of knowledge and technology is determined by openness, acceleration of information transfer, increasing the availability of knowledge. The analysis of innovation activity of Ukrainian enterprises demonstrated that the share of innovatively active enterprises in the country is insignificant. The main areas of innovation where the share of innovative enterprises in the country is the largest are the production of chemicals and chemical products, the production of computers, electronic and optical goods, as well as the extraction of crude oil and natural gas and metal ores. The increase of innovative activity of Ukrainian enterprises requires attracting a greater share of them to technology transfer processes. The transfer of knowledge and technology is an integral part of the open innovation model that the main idea is free access to knowledge, its openness and active movement of scientific developments and innovative technologies. The transfer of knowledge and technology as a component of the open innovation model involves the inclusion of a wide range of participants, including enterprises, research centers and institutions, representatives of venture capital, academic science and the state. In the digital space, the construction of interaction among the participants of the process of transfer of knowledge and technology takes place on the basis of the active usage of the capabilities of cloud technologies, network associations that makes it possible to create an effective transfer mechanism, speed up the process of knowledge exchange, increase the availability of knowledge.

With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the role of entrepreneurs has become more crucial than ever. As a result, an open innovation model is suggested here that can promote serial entrepreneurs by answering the following question: “How does the serial entrepreneur in open innovation conditions continuously identify business opportunities?” This question is answered through an in-depth case study of Medison from 1985 to 2016, as Medison is not only a representative Korean medical device company, but is also a representative example of serial entrepreneurship in Korea. First, we examined the diverse open innovation channels, such as spin-offs, venture investment, and joint venture, used by Medison before it was merged with Samsung. Second, we examined the open innovation serial entrepreneurs of Medison and then analyzed the direct serial entrepreneurs of Medison. Fourth, we built a causal loop model of Medison open innovation with emergence and complexity combined. Finally, a sustainable open innovation strategy and an approach to sustainable serial entrepreneurship was formulated. The foundation of this research is as follows. First, an open innovation strategy can be a strong motivator for serial entrepreneurs. Second, a balance between emergence and complexity is required to trigger sustainable serial entrepreneurs of open innovation.

Purpose This paper aims to shed light on how family firms execute open innovation strategies by managing internal and external knowledge flows. Design/methodology/approach First, through a comprehensive literature review, the paper identifies the barriers to the acquisition and transfer of knowledge in open innovation processes. Second, it presents and discusses the results of an exploratory case study on Loccioni, an Italian family firm providing high-tech measurement solutions, highlighting how this family firm managed to overcome the barriers in executing an open innovation strategy. Findings The case study shows that Loccioni faced specific challenges in acquiring and transferring knowledge in its open innovation processes and developed two idiosyncratic capabilities – labelled imprinting and fraternization – that helped the firm overcome the barriers to knowledge acquisition and transfer. The analysis shows that these two capabilities are enabled by the distinctive goals and social capital characterizing family firms. Originality/value The paper creates a link between open innovation and family business research with an empirically grounded model illustrating how the idiosyncratic capabilities of a family firm help overcome the critical barriers to the acquisition and transfer of knowledge in executing an open innovation strategy.

Urgency of the research. In today’s dynamic economic environment organizations are not able to innovate efficiently alone and being forced to revise their innovation strategies. In this context, open innovation is considered as a more effective approach to managing innovation processes that can provide external competencies and competitive advantages for companies operating in a modern marketplace. Target setting. Empirical studies demonstrate a wide variety of firm-level factors influencing an organization’s ability to implement open innovation model, however the relationships among these factors as well as the impact they have on a company’s innovation performance are not fully explained. Actual scientific research and issues analysis. Following researchers have made an important contribution to the development of an open innovation concept: G. Chesbrough, A.K. Crowther, E. Enkel, O. Gassmann, K. Laursen, A. Solter and others. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. Although an exploring of organizational determinants that support implementation of the open innovation model is an area of growing interest among both academics and practitioners, the current understanding of these firm-level factors and their interrelationships is still fragmented. The research objective. The aim of the paper is to provide a view of the critical internal factors which influence an organization’s ability to implement open innovation. An analytical framework of the study strengthens a theoretical basis for a thorough analysis of the relationships among the main factors that have impact on a company’s open innovation practice. The statement of basic materials. Based on the literature review on open innovation management key internal factors have been identified that have impact on a firm’s ability to implement open innovation: an organizational mission and value system, a top management style and leadership, an organizational structure, a corporate culture, employees’ skills and competencies and an appropriate incentive system, as well as technological and knowledge management capabilities. Conclusions. As a result of the research a set of firm-level internal factors is defined that should be primarily taken into account in order to increase a company’s ability to implement efficiently open innovation.
