Managing Open Innovation: A Project-Level Perspective

Mehdi Bagherzadeh, Stefan Marković, Marcel Bogers · 2019 · IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management

Summary. This study examines how innovation project characteristics—specifically complexity and uncertainty—influence successful open innovation management. Using survey data from 201 American innovation projects, the authors identify five key management factors: openness level, external partner selection, mechanism choice, collaboration formalization, and internal practices. The research demonstrates that project-level attributes matter more than firm-level characteristics alone for managing open innovation effectively.
