Fostering radical innovations with open innovation

Matthias Inauen, Andrea Schenker‐Wicki · 2012 · European Journal of Innovation Management

Summary. Companies using inside-out open innovation—sharing and commercializing internal technologies externally—create more radical innovations and launch more new products than those using closed innovation approaches. Closed innovation strategies instead produce more incremental product improvements. This empirical study of 141 R&D managers in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria from 2004–2008 demonstrates that open innovation strategies drive fundamentally different innovation outcomes.
