Methodological Aspects

The study offers a comprehensive view on the process which can be described as dialectics of ‘open’ innovation and institutional protection of intellectual property. Although in the ICT sphere this process is already a well-established fact, in research literature only its theoretical and methodological aspects have received some fragmented attention. This study relies on the empirical evidence concerning competitive strategies and tactics of international high-tech companies. The study shows the growing complexity in the configuration of relations and intellectual property transactions between the stakeholders. Strategies and interactions often acquire a hybrid nature not only in their form (network-based, based on digital platforms, alliances, etc) but also in their content (due to the diversity of the possible combinations of ‘open’ and ‘closed’ innovations). The aim of this study is to show the potential of high tech companies’ strategies and business models underpinned by the dialectics of ‘open’ innovation and intellectual property protection. A special focus is made on the theoretical and methodological foundations of the connection between the ‘open’ and ‘closed’ innovation types. There is a system-forming factor that determines the sophisticated, often contradictory, multi-agent mechanism for the reproduction of high profitability of companies. At the core of this factor is the intellectual capital — the commitment and competence of workers (developers, managers, and experts), who have received specialized interdisciplinary training. Conceptually, this study relies on the institutional approach to economic theory and innovation management theory. It also relies on the systemic, dialectical, and functional methods as well as on the decomposition method, methods of comparative analysis and structurization. The research findings can be used by policy makers to enhance innovation in Russia and to make its regions more competitive on the international arena.

Methodological Aspects

The article is devoted to the research of methodological aspects of commercialization of intellectual property objects as a form of entrepreneurial activity in the innovation sphere. The modern tendencies of development of the entrepreneurial environment of Ukraine in the conditions of knowledge economy are characterized and the role of intellectual property in the modern economy is defined. The importance of commercialization of intellectual property objects at the macro, meso and macro levels has been substantiated and the main dominant strategic development priorities have been established: speed of business processes and compliance with the target group of consumers on the basis of innovative development. The study identified differences in the commercialization of intellectual property objects from the commercialization of ordinary goods. The role of the state in the process of commercialization of intellectual property objects is argued and the process of transfer of intellectual property objects is constructed, as the main consecutive stages of which are defined: business incubator of ideas of intellectual property objects — creation of intellectual property objects — high-tech products (innovative services). Focusing on the economic aspect, the forms of commercialization of intellectual property under different conditions of use are defined and characterized — in own production, introduction of intellectual property rights in the authorized capital and transfer of ownership and use rights. Drawing on the experience of industrialized countries, there are certain benefits to the commercialization of intellectual property through the purchase of patents and licenses, including the most valuable foreign technology. The traditional approach to the identification of the stages of the life cycle of an intellectual property object has been improved, each of which graphically depicts the change in the economic effect (cash receipts and cash expenditures). In order to ensure high efficiency of the process of commercialization of intellectual property objects and increase their innovative activity at each stage of promotion of intellectual property objects on the market, the need to reorganize (transform) individual components of business models of subjects of managing the consumer market is argued. Considering the interdependence of the process of commercialization of intellectual property objects with strategic resources, as the key ones, the importance of the competencies, opportunities, and abilities of all participants of the process of commercialization have been identified and argued.

Digital transformation means developing new business models, unforgettable customer experiences, and competitive strategies by using digital technologies, thus creating efficiency in business processes and providing better customer value. While digital transformation is one of the important business decisions, more specifically, the pandemic and the increase in time spent at home have created a substantial growth opportunity for digital broadcast service providers. In this regard, the fact that an already growing market has increased its growth momentum with the effect of the pandemic has made the digital transformation of traditional TV media inevitable. In this study, digital broadcasting sector in Turkey has been examined in the context of strategic marketing management. In this way, by conducting the situation and competition analysis, suggestions were made regarding marketing strategies for Turkish digital platforms that have just entered the market.

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.

Open Innovation, published in 2003, was a ground-breaking work by Henry Chesbrough that placed technology and innovation at the center of attention for managers of large firms. The term open innovation refers to the ways in which firms can generate and commercialize innovation by engaging outside entities. The ideas have attracted the notice of scholars, spawning annual world conferences and a large literature in technology and innovation management (including numerous journal special issues) that documents diverse examples of innovations and the often novel business models needed to make the most of those innovations. The role of business models in open innovation is the focus of Open Business Models, Chesbrough’s 2006 follow-up to Open Innovation. Managers have likewise flocked to Chesbrough’s approach, as the hundreds of thousands of hits from an online search using the term open innovation can attest. Surveys show that the majority of large firms were engaging in open innovation practices in 2017, compared to only 20% in 2003 when Open Innovation was published.

An important concept in innovation literature is open innovation, where firms may use knowledge of other companies to develop new products or processes. However, there is a tension between the desire to be open, to profit from the knowledge of others, and the desire to be closed to prevent others from making use of the firms own profitable knowledge. Formal and non-formal intellectual property (IP) protection mechanisms may protect the company in an innovation alliance, but are often costly and may hinder flexibility and creativity. In the present paper the role of formal and non-formal IP protection arrangements and communication on the building and maintenance of trust and ultimately on performance has been investigated. A survey questionnaire was combined with semi-structured interviews of CEOs and R&D managers of seven companies and two commercial research organizations in the seed sector, one agrifood company, one commercial research organization in the agrifood and one commercial research organization in the high-tech sector. Thirty-three innovation alliances were investigated in total. It was found that for companies active in an innovation alliance it is important to understand how prior experiences, IP protection and communication influence the level of trust in an alliance, and that the level of trust is positively related to innovation performance. Recommendations are given for open innovation managers how to make optimal use of the innovation potential of the alliance partner(s), by fostering communication within the alliance and by using formal IP protection arrangements as a platform to create trust within the alliance.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study how digital business models evolve when entrepreneurs move to new digital platforms and how this evolution is related to effectuation and causation logics. Design/methodology/approach This study applies a multiple case study approach to investigate how digital business models change in small, Japanese high-tech firms providing their innovations through different digital platforms. To investigate digital business models, this study considers the elements that comprise general business models. The case firms were selected based on size, products and transitions from physical to various digital platforms. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the key decision-makers from the case firms. Findings The findings show that through digital transformation, the case firms’ digital business models evolved by following effectuation logic as well as causal logic. All the firms employed causal logic when moving to new platforms, among other actions. The case firms used effectual logic with success for product development and adjustments to their network. Especially firms providing video games relied on effectuation for high impact products. Effectual logic did not play a role at all in changes to value delivery and had only little impact on revenue structures. Originality/value This research helps understand how digitalization of platforms and subsequent moves to newer digital platforms improve a firm by changing the business model elements through effectuation and causation logics. This research extends the understanding of digital business model transformation to a more granular level, business model elements.

The presented study examines the fundamental prerequisites for the emergence of digital platforms, which would provide a global view of the role that platforms play in creating a new organizational model — an ecosystem of high-tech industries.Aim. In the context of industrial digitalization, the study aims to substantiate the creation of a modern mechanism for coordinating high-tech market participants within a single economic and organizational space — an ecosystem based on a cross-industry digital platform.Tasks. The authors analyze the international experience of implementing digital platforms, identify problems and provide recommendations for solving them in the context of digital platform implementation in the Russian industry.Methods. This study uses general scientific methods of cognition in various aspects to analyze the current vector of industrial development driven by the introduction of ecosystems as a new organizational and economic model; describe the principles of their formation, possible structure, and main differences from traditional cluster and network models; substantiate that an ecosystem model allows its participants to achieve a positive synergistic effect in the implementation of their strategic development goals in the context of digital transformation.Results. The issues of using the tools of an industrial digital platform to facilitate the interaction between participants within an ecosystem are considered. Platform solutions in the industry show great promise in terms of analyzing large amounts of data, reducing transaction costs, and obtaining “perfect information”. The direction for the implementation of cross-industry digital platforms and creation of ecosystems in the near future is characterized.Conclusions. Digital cross-industry interaction within the framework of a common platform will expand external communications and promotion channels, making it possible to introduce digital business models and diversify production, but also requiring compatibility between the systems of industrial enterprises and a functioning digital platform and cloud environment.

Intellectual capital is the creation of more wealth by dint of knowledge and knowledge-based processes. The cycle of intellectual capital begins at inner faculties of a human being, in the application of skills, knowledge, experimentation, and research. Thus, it begins at the knowledge level in a person and ends at the creation of capital. This capital is known as intellectual capital. This chapter mainly explains the role of the elements in intellectual capital for open innovative initiatives in business enterprises. Five case illustrations are discussed in open innovation management with the elements of intellectual capital.

Despite the fact that Open Innovation (OI) has rapidly become one of the hottest topics in innovation management, comprehensive reviews of the state of the research field and its managerial implications are scarce. This could be one of the reasons why OI still represents a big challenge for innovation managers. This paper, based on a literature review covering the period from 2003 up until June 2009, identifies managerial implications of OI under four major categories: namely organizing for openness, co-creating value, leadership for diversity and intellectual property (IP) management. The contribution of this paper is both practical and theoretical. On the one hand, innovation managers can find useful suggestions for dealing with the challenge of openness in their organization. On the other hand, gaps and omissions in the practical aspects of OI management are identified in order to guide further research on the field.

Yarmoliuk A. Open innovation in terms of legal protection of intellectual property. The author notes that according to the latest global trends in the development of intellectual property rights, business entities operate in the context of radical changes taking place in most sectors of the economy. As new breakthrough technologies and subjects of innovative activity appear. The article emphasizes that this perspective envisages the transition of Ukraine to a new production system, which requires institutional changes. According to the author, today there is also a tendency to reduce the life cycle of innovations, increase the speed of implementation of new developments and strengthen the trends of digital transformation. Therefore, the digitalization of the economy requires the involvement of new forms of cooperation with open innovations including new business models for the use of intellectual property. The article notes that intellectual property, in turn, plays a key role in the development of innovation. At the same time, the importance of intellectual property within the model of open innovation changes with the transformation of economic processes into a creative economy. Today, there is an extremely low level of implementation of creative innovative developments, which indicates the ineffectiveness of the strategy for commercialization of research results. As the author emphasizes, the open innovation model is aimed at solving this problem. Exactly the exchange of knowledge and new results between innovative enterprises and their partners is a major lever for further creative innovation. Therefore, the author determines that effective legal protection of intellectual property plays a key role in promoting innovation within the concept of open innovation. Innovative technologies have been successfully commercialized with the strategic use of intellectual property rights. As indicated in the article, intellectual property also significantly enhances the competitiveness of innovative enterprises, preserves their innovative advantages, and facilitates the process of bringing innovative technologies created under the open innovation model to the market.Keywords: open innovation, intellectual property rights, intellectual property, innovative enterprise, «smart city»
