Process Innovation: Open Innovation and the Moderating Role of the Motivation to Achieve Legitimacy

Christos Tsinopoulos, Carlos M.P. Sousa, Ji Yan · 2017 · Journal of Product Innovation Management

Summary. Organizations that engage in open innovation are more likely to introduce new processes. The motivation to achieve legitimacy moderates this relationship differently depending on how firms engage externally. Cooperation with external parties combined with legitimacy motivation increases process innovation likelihood, while using external information combined with legitimacy motivation decreases it. The study uses European innovation survey data to test these relationships.
