Purpose Despite typically being regarded as “low tech”, the food manufacturing and technology sector is increasingly turning to open innovation practices involving collaboration with universities in order to innovate. Given the broad range of activities undertaken by this sector and the fact that it utilises analytical, synthetic and symbolic knowledge for innovation, it makes an interesting case study on the factors that influence the formation of university–industry (U–I) links. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach Using data from 249 collaborative projects that occurred between UK universities and food manufacturing and technology firms, the analysis utilises a logistic regression model based on a “synthetic counterfactual approach” to modelling the probability a collaborative link will be established with one university and not others. Findings The results suggest that organisational proximity, conceptualised through the presence of prior ties between actors, has the largest influence on the formation of U–I links. In addition, spatial and technological proximities between actors also have a positive influence on link formation. This result suggests that the specificity of knowledge of the food sector is important in the formation of these U–I links. Research limitations/implications The results suggest that the open innovation practices of food manufacturing and technology firms are like other sectors, even though their innovation practices are considered to be different. However, the limitations of the paper mean that these findings may be specific to firms in the food manufacturing and technology sector in the UK. Originality/value The food sector is under-represented in empirical studies on university collaboration; this paper addresses this and provides new insights into the formation of these links.

The Relationship

Given Chesbrough's idea of open innovation, it could be said that external knowledge is an important element in the optimisation of in-house innovation. External knowledge is distributed among various actors and is accessible through many channels. However, we still do not know much about the search strategies that affect innovation performance. Our study therefore explores the relationship between open knowledge search strategies and company-level innovative performance. This study examines the open search strategies of 193 firms on the basis of cross-sectional data from Finnish markets. We identified four specific strategies, namely (1) market-driven, (2) science-driven, (3) intermediary-driven and (4) generic-knowledge-driven. According to the results, all except intermediary-driven strategies positively affect innovation performance.

AbstractFirms adopt open innovation for different reasons, and they experience various barriers for open innovation. Thus, the paper aims to answer two questions: (1) what type of drivers and barriers for open innovation that are to be identified among innovative firms in Poland and (2) what kind of differences in motives and barriers between high-tech and non-high-tech industries can be identified. The authors analyzed drivers and barriers for open innovation drawn from a survey database of on 122 innovative firms in Poland by means of the CATI method. The study confirms that the concept of open innovation is adopted in high-tech as well as non-high-tech industries. The study also shows that the most important drivers in high-tech and non-high-tech industries are market-driven motives, whereas the most important barriers are related to legal and financial factors. Moreover, the research does not confirm that there are different drivers and barriers between in high-tech and non-high-tech industries.

Complementary Assets

Many global companies, which are proactive to continuous changes in the market so as to access complementary assets, satisfy customers, pursue growth and sustainable competitive advantage, are practicing open innovation, a new paradigm that uses techniques and tools for the development of an innovative collaboration network. Furthermore, there are studies suggesting that companies ought to be market-driven so innovation might be successful. Therefore, this research sought to contribute with the scientific body by addressing the new open innovation paradigm (Chesbrough, 2003) and the widespread strategy of market orientation in the field of innovation. To this effect, we sought to determine whether there is positive correlation between open innovation, innovation and market orientation based on Jaworski and Kohli´s (1993) three pillars. The empirical study was conducted by means of a quantitative survey with the application of a questionnaire at different corporate functional levels. To treat data, we adopted the Spearman´s statistical correlation method. Results linked to the theoretical framework demonstrated that innovation is related to market orientation, but this in turn has no significant relationship with open innovation. It was also verified that there is a deficiency in the generation and dissemination of intelligence, which are fundamental for the correlation between market orientation and open innovation.
