Learning from openness: The dynamics of breadth in external innovation linkages

James H. Love, Stephen Roper, Priit Vahter · 2013 · Strategic Management Journal

Summary. Manufacturing plants that maintain external innovation partnerships over time become more effective at converting those partnerships into innovation outputs. Irish firms with prior experience collaborating with external knowledge sources generate greater innovation returns from their current openness activities. This learning effect means experienced firms extract more value from the same breadth of external linkages compared to less experienced firms.
