Open and closed innovation – different innovation cultures for different strategies

Philipp Herzog, Jens Leker · 2010 · International Journal of Technology Management

Summary. This study examines how innovation culture differs between open and closed innovation approaches within a multinational specialty chemicals company. Surveying 109 employees across three business units, the researchers found measurable cultural differences in not-invented-here syndrome, risk-taking attitudes, and management support for innovation. The findings show that successful open innovation requires distinct cultural characteristics from closed innovation models.
