The openness of open innovation in ecosystems – Integrating innovation and management literature on knowledge linkages

Christina Öberg, Allen Alexander · 2018 · Journal of Innovation & Knowledge

Summary. This paper examines how knowledge transfers work in open innovation ecosystems by reviewing existing literature. The authors connect open innovation research with management theory to categorize linkages between organizations based on their openness levels and knowledge management approaches. They find that openness operates across multiple dimensions, each producing different knowledge management outcomes. The work helps firms understand which collaboration mechanisms suit their needs.
