Full textAbstract:
Innovation strategy has been playing an important role on innovation development in industrial firms. Extant studies have investigated in particular open innovation strategy. By using a qualitative case study, I have conducted a research in an Indonesian R&D firm that has implemented an open innovation strategy. The purpose of this research is to add more information and confirm existing knowledge by exploring challenges and opportunities during the implementation of an open innovation strategy. I identify many challenges which are found in several aspects of innovation development such as collaboration management, assets protection and accessing external knowledge. Furthermore, the opportunities that I found are related with enhancement of license strategy, nurture of employee’s loyalty and establishment of various collaboration forms. These challenges and opportunities occurred due to the influence of the openness paradigm. The results of this study also confirm previous research result on the adoption of the partly open innovation scheme and the layered collaboration scheme. RQ: what are the firm-level challenges and opportunities with using an open innovation strategy?

Full textAbstract:
Business management Paradigm is Changing. We used to have big, best, and fast and now it seems that we are having one more paradigm of “Open”. Chesbrough (2003) argued for cooperating between competitors or allies in his article “The era of open innovation”. (ChesbroughH.W, 2003) This research is about open innovation with customer participation. Many organizations built platform to motivate customers to participate the product development process. Hence, we selected three different types of platforms which are full-open, semi-open and closed platform for case study. To compare different perspective from organizations and customers, we will use both of case study of the organizations who opened competencies to the customers and survey of the customers who are creating derivative products. From that case-study and survey result, we aim to figure out what to open and what to close for the organizations that are implementing open innovation strategy. We will suggest a competency pyramid model that helps organizations to divide their competencies into two different sectors: open competency and closed competency. And finally, we will find out what factors are important to make a platform successful.

Recent years have seen important changes in the way corporates compete and the dynamism of this competition. Companies are facing increasing pressure to innovate and generate value for customers in over-satisfied societies demanding more complex business propositions and faster response. These changes lead to greater horizontal and vertical uncertainty, that corporations have to manage while sustaining investment in core assets to ensure short term performance. Open innovation strategies, levering on the internal and external entrepreneurial drive, have been proposed to increase the resilience of corporates while opening the opportunity for nascent ventures to grow in new markets. The design of these programs is an area of active research. This thesis proposes a specific open innovation program. The design implements an integral strategy combining inside-out and outside-in transitions to lower costs and enhance efficiency. The design is sequential and staged, resulting in a flexible, modular program architecture with multiple, specifically designed components (accelerator, innovation center, incubator and CVC) enabling the management of a wide range of deal flows.

Choi, Jeong-Woo. "Management strategy for open innovation in Korean biochip industry." Thesis, Durham University, 2017. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/12145/.
Full textAbstract:
Due to the need to access external knowledge for new product development (NPD), open innovation has been widely used in the biochip industry. Since current resources owned by single firm do not have all the capabilities, NPD in biochip requires strong interdisciplinarity, wide diversity of technological knowledge, and integration capabilities. In the present study, management strategy for open innovation is investigated for NPD in the Korean biochip industry. Open innovation is classified in three steps: (1) switching phase about starting open innovation in the NPD initial stage; (2) implementation phase about open innovation management in the NPD middle stage; and (3) transition phase about change to close innovation in the NPD final stage. Three models for three phases are developed and then tested by carrying out surveys in the Korean biochip firms. In addition, the transition phase model is evaluated in the Korean bio-pharmaceutical firms. The switching phase model suggests that research capability and external trust are the main variables that affect switching cost, which relates to the perception of advantage of open innovation. The implementation phase model suggests that technological novelty affects degree of openness, which, in turn, relates to technological capability and firm performance. Furthermore, institutional-, environmental-, and firm characteristics affect the depth- and breadth of open innovation activity. The transition phase model suggests that knowledge connected with product innovation has an impact on the open-close transition tendency, which relates to perception of advantage of close innovation. Based on the results for three phases of open innovation, we propose the management strategy for open innovation during NPD. Therefore, based on the results of analyses of the proposed model, we can evaluate the factors that affect open innovation activity and develop an appropriate management strategy of open innovation for NPD of biochip.

Full textAbstract:
Huvudsyftet med denna uppsats är att analysera hur svenska organisationer arbetar med öppen innovation, i vilka former de gör det och vilken typ av innovationer de producerar. Uppsatsen definierar även uttryckligen begreppet "dolda problem" inom organisationer och kopplar sedan det till innovationsteori. Definitionen av öppen innovation har utvecklats tillsammans med förståelsen för begreppet, vilket i sig utgör en övertygande teori för både organisationer och forskare i strävan efter teknisk utveckling. De befintliga modeller som beskriver öppen innovation är emellertid inte förenliga med hur definitionen av termen har utvecklats. Genom att kartlägga nuvarande litteratur och innovationsteori, föreslås i denna uppsats en förening av två befintliga öppna innovationsmodeller som bättre passar den nuvarande definitionen. I uppsatsen föreslås också att syntetisk innovation - ett begrepp beskrivet i denna avhandling - är den primära typen av innovation som produceras inom en öppen innovationsram. Resultaten, analysen och diskussionerna baseras på en litteraturstudie, en handlingsstudie och fyra fallstudier av innovationsinitiativ i Sverige. Analyserade genom den föreslagna ramen visar resultaten att resurstypen som delas mellan firmor i ett öppet samarbete är mer empiriskt viktig än indikerat från befintliga innovationsmodeller. Det indikeras också att företagens permeabilitet förändrar vilken typ av innovation de producerar. Arbetet indikerar också att dolda problem empiriskt löses genom syntetisk innovation som särskilt kan uppnås i en öppen innovationsmiljö.The primary purpose of this thesis is to analyze how Swedish organizations work with Open Innovation, in what forms they do so, and what type of innovations they produce. Secondarily, it explicitly defines the notion of "hidden problems" within organizations and subsequently links it to innovation theory. The definition of Open Innovation has evolved alongside the understanding of Open Innovation itself, and it constitutes a compelling theory for organizations and researchers alike in the pursuit of technological advancement. The incumbent models that describe Open Innovation, however, are not compliant with the definition of the term. By surveying the current literature on Open Innovation, and Innovation theory, this thesis proposes a unification of two incumbent Open Innovation models that better fit with the definition of Open Innovation itself. It also suggests that Synthetic Innovation as defined in this thesis is the primary type of innovation produced under an Open Innovation framework. The results, analysis, and discussions are based on a literature review, an action study, and four case studies of innovation initiatives in Sweden. Analyzed through the proposed framework, the results from this thesis indicate that resource type is more empirically important than evident from incumbent innovation models. It also suggests that the permeability of firms, created in an Open Innovation environment, alters the type of innovation they produce. The research shows a need to update the early, yet fashionable, models of Open Innovation to better map against the current definitions. It also indicates that hidden problems result in a particular type of Synthetic Innovation that is especially achievable through Open Innovation.

Full textAbstract:
This study is conducted within the domains of technology convergence and Open Innovation environment. Two frameworks have been adopted in the study, namely; Nexus of Forces and Capability-Based Framework for Open Innovation. The first purpose of the investigation was to identify to what extent and in what ways does Nexus of Forces affects the knowledge capabilities within the Open Innovation environment. The second purpose of the investigation was to identify what practical implications does Nexus of Forces brings to the Open Innovation practices. The investigation was conducted on a single company – Swisscom – by following a case study strategy. The methodological approach for collecting the data was a mixed method approach with concurrent embedded strategy. The study has focused mainly on qualitative data and the quantitative data was nested with the focus to strengthen the findings. For the primary data collection, 6 respondents were selected, Expert A and Expert B for interviews and 4 managers for survey. In regard to the first purpose, our findings have shown that practices of Nexus of Forces have strategical implications on the process of managing knowledge capabilities. The extents of the NoF implications are through a direct and indirect level for the departments, which work with Open Innovation projects and at meta-level for the higher organizational structures within the company. In regard to the second purpose, our findings have shown that practices of Nexus of Forces have tactical implications on the Open Innovation practices. The final outcome of the study is a theoretical model that displays the strategical and tactical implications of Nexus of Forces on the knowledge capabilities and Open Innovation practices within the Open Innovation environment.

Full textAbstract:
Open Source Software has been all about myths until recently, with many people believing that open source isn't reliable because the open source projects are held by a small group of amateurs in their friend's garage. Such myths have been refuted with the emerging success and increased popularity of open source, but still many considered open source and proprietary software to be enemies, which can never co-exist in the corporate platform. As a result, some firms have decided to stick to their tradition of commercial software development, while new firms, which base their corporate strategy solely on open source, have emerged. The former group of firms has suffered from losing time and money in fixing the errors and bugs in the software, whereas the latter group has found difficulties in finding financial support and market share in competition among the former group. Neither group has found absolute success in their business, as result a compromise model has emerged in the software industry, which resulted in a third group of firms that work neither with pure open source model nor with pure proprietary models, but instead with “hybrid” business models which allows integration of these so-called two enemies. Such firms have overcome the pitfalls of both approaches, while combining the benefits of them. The growing success of open-source integration attracted further public attention on the potential importance of open-source software (OSS). Indeed, major large commercial IT companies have started to integrate open-source software into their core strategies. Despite the widespread doubts and resistance during the early stages of open source revolution, there has recently been a “change of perception” in the software development industry towards incorporating open source strategies into their business models. This master thesis investigates the open source software scene in Sweden by examining Swedish firms that develop software products either based on open source components (hybrid model) or just open source products (pure open source model). After analyzing the market based on the business models of these firms, further details of the open source strategies pursued by these firms have been analyzed. Our study then finalizes the investigation with an analysis of the open source development scene in Sweden, which we use to determine the characteristics of the software industry in Sweden. Our conclusions reveal that open source strategy shares most of its components with innovation strategy (with some components found to be specific to open source strategy only), confirming the link between open source software and innovation. Therefore, firms that work with open source software have to pay attention to innovation and form an appropriate innovation and open source strategy if they want to be successful in the software industry.

A inovação é um fator crítico para o sucesso das empresas. A indústria farmacêutica é historicamente movida pela inovação. Entretanto, neste ramo, o desenvolvimento de novos produtos envolve custos elevados e um longo ciclo de desenvolvimento de produto acarretando em um alto risco de negócio. Recentemente, a estratégia de inovação aberta (open innovation) surgiu com alternativa às empresas para inovação sugerindo que as empresas mantenham-se abertas a idéias internas e externas, tornando o processo de inovação mais ágil, econômico e seguro, uma vez que ele passa a ser compartilhado com outras partes. Porém, embora este novo paradigma se aplique ao ramo farmacêutico, há poucas pesquisas até o momento que estudem diretamente a estratégia de inovação aberta à indústria farmacêutica. Desta forma, este trabalho busca estudar de forma exploratória a prática da estratégia de inovação aberta por indústrias farmacêuticas brasileiras e compreender: os motivos que levaram as empresas nacionais a adotarem este modelo, como esta prática está estruturada dentro destas indústrias e de que maneira elas trabalham com seus parceiros de inovação. A pesquisa comprovou que as indústrias farmacêuticas estão utilizando a inovação aberta como estratégia de inovação. Entretanto, o modelo de inovação aplicado possui adaptações, em razões de questões culturais e maturidade da empresa, de forma que o fluxo de idéias criativas ocorre somente na direção do ambiente externo para o interno da empresa. Entre os problemas relacionados à inovação aberta no Brasil, optou-se por investigar as relações entre os envolvidos como forma de encontrar oportunidades de melhoria para o modelo brasileiro que ainda se baseia muito na relação empresa-universidade. Dentre as empresas estudadas no estudo de caso indicou serem os principais stakeholder as universidades e institutos de pesquisa públicos e que estas parceiras se consolidam preferencialmente através de convênios de pesquisa.In a highly competitive environment, innovation is a critical factor to the success and maintenance of any company. The pharmaceutical industry is historically moved by innovation in products. However, in the pharmaceutical business, the development of new products demands huge investments and a long development cycle which consequently increase the risk of the business associated to uncertainty. Recently, the open innovation strategy emerged as an alternative to companies to innovate and develop new products. This new paradigm suggests that companies must be opened to ideas from the internal and external environments and to perform co-development projects with the purpose of developing products faster, cheaper and in a less risky way. Although this new paradigm is adequate to the pharmaceutical segment, there are few researches that discuss the open innovation strategy in the pharmaceutical industry. Therefore, this research has the purpose to study the practice of open innovation strategy by Brazilian pharmaceutical companies and to access: the reasons that motivate the national companies to adopt this model, how this practice is structured inside the companies and how they work with their innovation partners. From this investigation it was possible to verify that the pharmaceutical industries in Brazil use open innovation as a strategy of innovation. However, the open innovation model characteristics in Brazil consider adaptations from the original model suggested by Chesbrough. For cultural and the companies’ business maturity level, it was noticed that the influx of creative ideas is mainly from the outside towards inside company. Additionally, it was investigated the relationship among the co-development stakeholders, as an opportunity to find improvements to the Brazilian open innovation model. The case study findings indicate that the most relevant partnership type is the consortium with the universities and research institutes.

This paper considers challenges of Human Resource Management (HRM) in Open Innovation processes. It examines which strategies managers used to overcome these problems in the case of the Brazilian Oil and Gas company Petrobras. By conducting an inductive case study it develops a contextual model based on the use of grounded theory. It argues that the most important categories were to overcome problems of (a) the interpersonal relationship, (b) power shifting inside the organization, and (c) making people more valuable to the organization and shows how managers tackled these challenges. It contributes with a deep analysis of HRM challenges in Open Innovation that is important for a better understanding of management problems that can come along with Open Innovation processes.
Este artigo leva em consideração os desafios da Gestão de Recursos Humanos (HRM) em processos de Inovação Aberta. São examinadas quais estratégias os gerentes utilizavam para superar esses problemas no caso da companhia brasileira de óleo e gás, Petrobrás. Ao conduzir um indutivo estudo de caso, é desenvolvido um modelo contextual baseado no uso da teoria fundamentada. Argumenta-se que as categorias mais importantes a serem superadas foram (a) as relações interpessoais, (b) mudança de poder dentro da organização e (c) a valorização dos funcionários pela organização, e é apresentado como os gerentes solucionaram esses problemas. Este artigo contribui com uma análise aprofundada dos desafios da HRM em Inovação Aberta, o que é importante para melhor entender os problemas gerenciais que podem surgir durante os processos de Inovação Aberta.

A Open Innovation (OI) é uma abordagem emergente que têm despertado cada vez mais o interesse de especialistas e de estudos acadêmicos na área de inovação. Entretanto, a implemen-tação dessa estratégia ainda é desafiadora, especialmente para as Pequenas e Médias Empresas (PMEs). A carência de métodos e processos documentados e estruturados para implementar a OI, também são fatores que causam resistências e desestimulam muitas vezes as empresas. Ou-tro fato é que poucas pesquisas e trabalhos empíricos têm explorado o potencial e influência dos Sistemas Regionais de Inovação (SRIs) na implementação da OI nas empresas. Frente a essa problemática de pesquisa, esta Tese tem como objetivo geral desenvolver um processo de implementação da estratégia Open Innovation voltado para empresas de SRIs. O produto final da Tese é um framework que representa o Processo para Implementação da OI (PIOI). É uma ferramenta gerencial que visa auxiliar e orientar os gestores quanto as etapas, documentos, e forma mais apropriada para conduzir a implementação. Sobretudo, permite a compreensão dos elementos e Fatores Críticos de Sucesso (FCS) que interferem na melhoria da capacidade de inovação em PMEs. Este trabalho de Tese está estruturado em sete capítulos, com cinco artigos propostos. O artigo 1 busca identificar os fatores determinantes para a implementação da OI em SRIs. O artigo 2 apresenta uma revisão sistemática da literatura para identificar os FCS para implementação da OI no âmbito das empresas. No artigo 3, desenvolve-se uma pesquisa apli-cada com 50 empresas de um SRI para diagnosticar as estratégias de inovação e os FCS para implementação da OI. No artigo 4, propõe-se um framework para implementação da OI em PMEs de SRIs. No artigo 5, o framework é testado e avaliado empiricamente através de um estudo de caso de uma empresa. A estrutura metodológica geral da Tese está fundamentada no método de pesquisa construtivista (Design Science Research – DSR). Os artigos abrangem le-vantamento bibliográfico, survey, estudo de caso e pesquisa-ação, e empregam ambos os mé-todos, quantitativo e qualitativo, conforme seus objetivos. A Tese oferece importantes contri-buições acadêmicas e práticas ao abordar os FCS que interferem na implementação da OI, e ao desenvolver um processo para implementação dessa estratégia em PMEs de SRI’s. Além disso, representa uma oportunidade para que as empresas possam transformar e melhorar o seu pro-cesso de desenvolvimento da inovação, implementando mudanças de estratégia e introduzindo estruturas mais colaborativas que suportem novos modelos de negócios.Open Innovation (OI) is an emerging approach that has increasingly attracted the interest of experts and academic studies in the area of innovation. However, implementing this strategy is still challenging, especially for Small and Medium Companies (PMEs). The lack of documen-ted and structured methods and processes to implement OI are factors that cause resistance and often discourage companies, besides the fact that few empirical studies and research have ex-plored the potential and influence of the Regional Innovation Systems (SRIs) in the implemen-tation of OI in companies. Faced with this research problem, this thesis has as general objective to develop a process of implementation of the Open Innovation strategy directed at SRIs com-panies. The final product is a framework that represents the Process for Implementing OI (PIOI). It is a managerial tool that aims to help and guide managers on the stages, documents, and the most appropriate way to carry out the implementation. Above all, it allows the unders-tanding of the elements and Critical Factors of Success (FCS) that affect the improvement of the innovation capacity of PMEs. The thesis is structured in seven chapters, with five proposed articles. Article 1 seeks to identify the determining factors for the implementation of OI in SRIs. Article 2 presents a systematic review of the literature to identify the FCS for implementing OI in companies. In Article 3 we carry out an applied research with 50 companies in a SRI, in order to diagnose their innovation strategies and the FCS to implement OI. In Article 4, we propose a framework for the implementation of OI in PMEs of SRIs. In Article 5, the framework is empirically tested and evaluated through a company’s case study. The general methodological structure of the thesis is based on the constructivist research method (Design Science Research - DSR). The articles cover literature review, survey, case study and action research, and use both quantitative and qualitative methods, according to their goals. The thesis offers important academic and practical contributions by addressing FCS that affect the implementation of OI, and by developing a process to establish that strategy in PMEs of SRIs. In addition, it represents an opportunity for companies to change and improve their innovation development process by implementing strategy shifts and introducing more collaborative structures that support new business models.

Mestrado em MarketingNowadays, the world economy is facing a huge challenge. The competitiveness rules were rewritten, and firms need now to be more innovative to compete in global markets. Due to the new competition paradigm, firms are changing the way they access resources and talent worldwide. Innovation activities are becoming more open and less closed, and the network strategy is assuming an important role in the management strategy theory. This investigation explores several factors that influence whether service firms draw from universities in their innovative activities. The influence of structural factors, managerial choice, conversion capacity, radical innovation performance, public funding and taxonomy on open innovation strategy and the ability for firms draw from universities are analysed. An ordered probit regression model is used in this investigation.

Full textAbstract:
Open innovation has been rising in popularity as an alternative to traditional model for organizations to enhance innovation in their products or services. In the past, the innovation processes was time-consuming and costly. It has now become significantly efficient and effective, supported by the advancement of today’s IT such as Internet, Cloud Computing and Big Data. Open innovation has changed the aspect of the innovation source; from closed internal R&D to fully utilization of consumers’ collaboration. Decision to shift towards open innovation strategy has been lying on several areas including motivation, financial direction, and preference of the innovation strategies and business models that fitting the organizational core strategy. This research studied the relation of these areas and its effect; it determined the way IT-organization creates and captures value that were done by opening its product platform. This thesis was conducted to analyze the open innovation approach in an open digital navigation platform, featuring two platforms as case study: Google Maps and OpenStreetMap. The investigation emphasized the utilizing of the open innovation strategy to build its platform where crowdsourcing and open source software as objects highlighted in the research. The data was collected from secondary sources. Research findings suggested that crowdsourcing and open source software strategy are the main strategies of open innovation implemented in IT digital mapping platform to create and capture value. While these strategies have been practiced in both platforms, circumstances (motivation, financial direction, and business strategy) that hovering around the internal aspect of organizations affected the application of those strategies. The implementation results are differ according to preferred business model. The result of this research suggested that a non-profit based organization tends to utilize open innovation to improve the value of their product through consumer collaboration, while a profit based organization adopts open innovation to generate additional pool of revenue through customers’ feedback and input data. The open innovation leads to creation of a new business model as the foundation of innovation.

Full textAbstract:
The increased customer demand for innovative and sustainable solutions implies that companies need to seek knowledge, and insights, beyond their traditional business models. This by opening up barriers and collaborating with other stakeholders. Using this approach is referred to in the literature as practicing open innovation. There is however a lack of research on open innovation concerning radical innovation and collaboration. The purpose of this report is to fill this research gap by investigating how a large incumbent company can set up radical collaboration in an open innovation space. The gap will be filled by conducting a qualitative and explorative cross-case analysis with the hosting company of this study, IKEA, and the research questions presented in this report aims to assist IKEA in the set of radical collaboration. The research question and related results were divided into four parts; Strategy implications, partner selection criteria, challenges and success factors. Regarding the first sub-research question, the strategy of the OIS should be aligned to the long-term goals of the parent firm but the short-term targets should not be controlled. This in order to give the OIS mandate to come up with unexpected and radical solutions. Moreover, in the partner selection process, important criteria to consider for radical collaboration are shared values, culture, and commitment to the project. Concerning challenges with radical collaboration, these are: Clear expectations, Contracts, Identifying focus areas, Implementation of the innovations, Innovation strategy renewal, Introduction of a new concept, NDA’s, Outsourcing and Organizational behavior. Lastly, the findings show that autonomy, self-control, communication, and structure are important success factors. The related recommendation of this thesis is that large established companies, looking to pursue radical collaboration in an open innovation format, should consider these insights to be successful. It should however be made clear that radical innovation practices tend to be more complex and time-consuming. Thus, KPIs for success may need to be revisited in firms traditionally seeking incremental innovations with in-house innovation practices.Med en ökande efterfrågan från kunder på innovativa och hållbara lösningar behöver företag söka kunskap och resurser utanför sina traditionella affärsmodeller. Detta genom att öppna upp sina interna processer och samarbeta med andra. Att använda detta tillvägagångssätt hänvisas till i litteraturen som att utöva “öppen innovation”. Det saknas dock forskning i ämnet som rör radikal innovation och samarbete. Syftet med denna rapport är att fylla detta forskningsgap genom att undersöka hur ett stort etablerat företag kan starta upp radikala samarbeten i ett öppet innovationslandskap. Gapet kommer att fyllas genom att utföra en kvalitativ och explorativ flerfallsstudie med ett värdföretag, IKEA, och forskningsfrågorna som presenteras i denna rapport har som mål att skapa ett ramverk för att hjälpa IKEA introducera radikala samarbeten. Forskningsfrågan och relaterade resultat delades in i fyra delar; Strategi implikationer, partnervalskriterier, utmaningar och framgångsfaktorer. När det gäller den första forskarfrågan bör innovationsstrategin anpassas till moderföretagets långsiktiga mål, men de kortsiktiga målen bör inte kontrolleras. Detta för att ge initiativet mandatet att komma med oväntade och radikala lösningar. Dessutom är viktiga kriterier att ta hänsyn till, för radikala samarbeten i urvalsprocessen av partners, att de samarbetande parterna delar värderingar, kultur och engagemang för projektet. Vad gäller utmaningar för radikalt samarbete är dessa de mest kritiska: Tydliga förväntningar, Kontrakt, Identifiera fokusområden, Implementering av innovationer, Förnyelse av Innovationsstrategi, Introduktion av ett nytt koncept, Sekretessavtal, Outsourcing och Organisatoriskt beteende. Slutligen visar resultaten att autonomi, självkontroll, kommunikation och struktur är viktiga framgångsfaktorer. Den avslutande uppmaningen är att stora etablerade företag, som vill sträva efter radikalt samarbete i ett öppet innovationslandskap, bör ha dessa insikter i beaktning för att initiativet ska bli framgångsrikt. Det bör dock klargöras att radikala innovationsmetoder tenderar att vara mer komplexa och tidskrävande. Därför kan KPI:er för framgång behöva ses över hos företag som traditionellt söker inkrementell innovation med interna innovationsmetoder.

As Chinese economy develops, service innovation has become a key element for which Chinese enterprises compete and upgrading of service industry all over China due to its influence on national economic competitiveness, among which the innovation of multi-agent service plays an important role in enterprises. This thesis mainly studies the concept of the Multi-agent Participate Model of Service Innovation and explores the strategic role and position of the model in communication industry. The purpose of this thesis includes two parts: firstly it studies the service innovation which multi-agent such as enterprises, customers and suppliers participate in so as to establish a new theoretical framework of such service innovation. Secondly, from the perspective of strategic management of enterprises, it considers the selection of Multi-agent Participate Model of Service Innovation in competitive strategies of the communication industry to clarify the strategic role and position of such model in management of the communication industry. Questionnaire and interview are two main data acquisition methods in this thesis. The author surveyed 100 employees from China Telecom with a questionnaire designed by herself. The data shows that customers’ demands for market and competitors’ competition in the market have a great influence on the innovation activities of enterprises. Some senior managers of China Telecom have been interviewed for this study. The interviews have shown the significance of Multi-agent Participate Model of Service Innovation in telecommunication industry and the Multi-agent Participate Model of Service Innovation can favorably be applied to telecommunication industry. The enterprises, customers, employees, managers and suppliers are of inseparable relationships in the model. As an innovation model of enterprises, Multi-agent Participate Model of Service Innovation can better mobilize enthusiasm of each participant of service innovation, and innovativeness of management service to clarify the strategic position of the model in enterprise management.

Full textAbstract:
The promise of reduced costs, increased flexibility, and independence from vendors of proprietary products has convinced organizations worldwide to deploy Open Source Software (OSS) in their production environments and commercial offerings. Therefore, the ability to scale software, seamlessly integrate open source software in products and increase benefits from OSS participation are crucial capabilities. However, the nature of OSS is not entirely compatible with the rigid structures and processes of many large companies and thus successfully managing OSS has proven to be highly difficult. Previous research has shown that many companies have built previous success on ‘closed innovation’ logic and must now move in a highly counterintuitive direction towards an ‘open innovation’ mindset. This creates various strategic and operational challenges which they need to identify and overcome to avoid disruption. Based on the aforementioned, the purpose has been to investigate key patterns in how development and increased use of open source software could affect large IT companies. This is to illustrate the transition between closed innovation to open innovation strategy for software, but also to describe the strategic and operational challenges that come appear thereafter. To create a deeper understanding of this process of change, a single (qualitative) case study by a large Swedish IT company has been carried out. The hope is to be able to contribute to research by presenting general conclusions from the case study where empirical data is linked to contemporary research in the field. In order to be able to generalize based on the empirical data, interviews have been conducted with both doctoral students and professors in the field, but also experts in the business world. Our findings have generated insights concerning the OSS adoption process of Company A. The findings of the study include a 6-step model that describes the adoption process as well as strategic and operational considerations for successful transition towards efficient OSS governance.Med förhoppningar om reducerade kostnader, ökad flexibilitet och ett minskat beroende av tredjepartsleverantörer har användandet av open source-mjukvara (OSS) eskalerat under det senaste årtiondet och kommit att dominera stora delar av mjukvaruindustrin. Förmågan att skala och integrera open source-mjukvara har således blivit en viktig kompetens för att skapa konkurrensfördelar. Dock är nuvarande processer för integrering av open source-mjukvara emellertid inte helt förenligt med många etablerade företags strukturer och processer. Hantering och integrering har istället visat sig vara en stor utmaning då många företag historiskt byggt sina framgångar genom en logik som präglas av sluten innovationsstrategi och immateriella rättigheter (IPR). Företag tvingas idag att röra sig i en kontraintuitiv riktning som präglas av öppen innovation, och i kölvattnet av teknisk och industriell förändring uppenbarar sig strategiska och operativa utmaningar. Dessa utmaningar måste företag identifiera, förstå och övervinna för att undvika att bli utkonkurrerade. Med detta som bakgrund är syftet med denna studie att Identifiera viktiga mönster som beskriver hur utvecklingen och en ökad användning av open source-mjukvara kan påverka stora IT-företag. Detta för att belysa övergången mellan sluten innovationsstrategi och öppen för open source-mjukvara, men även för att skildra vilka strategiska och operativa utmaningar som uppenbarar sig därefter. För att skapa en djupare förståelse för denna förändringsprocess har en enskild (kvalitativ) fallstudie av ett stort svenskt IT-företag genomförts. Förhoppningen är att kunna bidra till forskning genom att presentera generella slutsatser från fallstudien där empirisk data kopplas an till nutida forskning inom området. För att kunna generalisera utifrån empirin har intervjuer genomförts med dels doktorander och professorer inom området, men också experter inom affärsvärlden. Empirin har genererat en 6-stegs modell som beskriver adoptionsprocessen för OSS. Modellen har sedermera jämförts med samtida forskning inom samma område där likheter och skillnader diskuterats och presenterats. Vidare har strategiska och operativa överväganden belysts och diskuterats för att kunna bidra till en ökad förståelse för de utmaningar som många företag står inför.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is about exploring the suitable business model framework for open innovation projects in incumbent organizations like Ericsson. Due to the rise in global competition and digitalization incumbent companies cannot innovate in closed innovation systems. Open innovation accelerates the flow of internal and external knowledge for expanding to the new markets by the use of innovation. Companies need reliable and working tools to innovate their business models. Along with technological innovation, business models also play a dominant role in businesses. Companies need to protect their business models by building them strong. Through making them hard to replicate for placing companies ahead of their competition. Companies employ the business model to understand value creation, delivery, and capture mechanisms. Open innovation explicitly incorporates the business model as a source of both value creation and value capture. Later role of the business model is to enable the organization to sustain its position in the industry(West et al. 2006). The content of the thesis is explaining how the early stage startups and innovation projects are building their business models in incumbent organizations — then developing a suitable business model framework for such projects in incumbent organizations to building their business ideas. Using design thinking methodologies proposed a business modeling approach with existing tools from the literature for creating a viable business model and using a value-based approach to quantify the value propositions by understanding value delivered to the customer and developing capturing model. By converting those values in monetary terms, it makes it easy to propose a value-based price for the solution. Through this thesis, the author has introduced a framework and process model for business modeling by early stage projects. The contributions were in empirical findings and analysis focused on design thinking-based business modeling approach for MVBM framework and process model.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of open banking is on the rise in the financial industry. Not only are banks taking an interest in this topic, but many financial technology start-ups are developing as well. One particular player can be considered challenger banks; they have gained a high degree of digital competence and agility to adapt to changes in the industry. As a result of this trend, these financial players raise the question of what the opportunities are. This study aims to identify potential opportunities for challenger banks and to provide a practical model for companies to assess the opportunities. The results of the study show that the opportunities can be divided into three segments: personalized banking services; modularity; as well as embedded finance. Finally, an opportunity evaluation canvas was developed, providing banks a systematic and comprehensive model to evaluate an opportunity.Begreppet open banking är på frammarsch inom finansbranschen. Ämnet intresserar därmed såväl bankerna som många nystartade företag inom finansteknologi. En aktör är så kallade utmanarbankerna; de sitter på en hög grad av digital kompetens och flexibilitet vad gäller förändringar i branschen. Som ett resultat av denna trend väcker dessa finansiella aktörer frågan om vilka möjligheter som finns. Den här studien syftar till att identifiera potentiella möjligheter för utmanarbanker, samt att tillhandahålla ett praktisk ramverk inom vilket företag kan bedöma dessa möjligheter. Resultaten visar att möjligheterna kan delas in i tre kategorier: personliga banktjänster; modularitet; samt plattformar och ekosystem. Slutligen utvecklades en utvärderingsmall för möjligheter, som ger bankerna en systematisk och omfattande modell för att utvärdera en möjlighet.

Full textAbstract:
O Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) é uma categoria de curso virtual aberto que tem como intenção fornecer educação gratuita de alta qualidade a um número ilimitado de estudantes. Originalmente desenvolvido em 2008, com relevância a partir de 2011, o fenômeno tem despertado a atenção de diversos estudiosos, pessoas ligadas ao ensino e à mídia, devido ao impacto que pode causar nas instituições de ensino superior. Quanto aos fatores relacionados à competitividade, Porter (2004) diz que é necessário analisar forças como as barreiras à entrada da Indústria, a ameaça de substitutos, o poder de negociação dos clientes e dos fornecedores e a rivalidade entre os atuais competidores, que, em conjunto, determinam a dinâmica da competição em uma Indústria. Identificar como se configuram essas forças competitivas para as instituições de ensino superior na Indústria do ensino superior com o advento dos MOOCs é o objetivo desse trabalho. Assim, uma pesquisa qualitativa por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com especialistas que conhecem o fenômeno e possuem conhecimentos da Indústria do ensino superior foi realizada. Os resultados apontam que os MOOCs tendem a beneficiar as instituições de ensino superior nas forças sobre clientes, substitutos, fornecedores e a fortalecer as barreiras à entrada. No entanto, esses benefícios, juntamente com os fatores de rivalidade interna, faz com que se intensifique a rivalidade entre as instituições de ensino. Os resultados também indicam que os MOOCs não estão inclinados a competir com as instituições de ensino, mas, sim, a reforçar aspectos importantes destas mesmas como Organizações. O que não significa dizer que com a ajuda dos MOOCs as melhores instituições de ensino não possam impelir instituições de ensino superior não tão boas para fora da Indústria em um processo de \"seleção natural\". Os resultados apresentados são relevantes para a comunidade científica, uma vez que expandem o conhecimento do MOOC e da Indústria do ensino superior com a chegada do mesmo. Podem também representar uma contribuição importante para os tomadores de decisão das instituições de ensino por possibilitar uma melhor compreensão do fenômeno MOOC e de suas implicações para suas instituições de ensino.The Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is an open virtual course category that is intended to provide high quality free education to an unlimited number of students. Originally developed in 2008, are relevant as of 2011, the phenomenon has aroused the attention of several scholars, people involved in teaching and the media, due to the impact it can have on higher education institutions. As for factors related to competitiveness, Porter (2004) says it is necessary to analyze forces and barriers to entry the industry, the threat of substitutes, the bargaining power of customers and suppliers and rivalry among current competitors, which in together determine the dynamics of competition in an industry. Identify how to configure these competitive forces to higher education institutions in the higher education industry with the advent of MOOCs is our aim. Thus, a qualitative research through semi-structured interviews with experts who know the phenomenon and have knowledge of the higher education industry was held. The results show that the MOOCs tend to benefit higher education institutions in the forces on customers, substitutes, suppliers and strengthen the barriers to entry. However, these benefits along with the internal rivalry factors, makes them intensify the rivalry between the educational institutions. The results also indicate that MOOCs are not inclined to compete with educational institutions, but rather to strengthen important aspects of these same as Organizations. Which is not to say that with the help of MOOCs the best educational institutions can not propel higher education institutions not as good out of the industry in a process of \"natural selection.\" The results presented are relevant to the scientific community, since they expand the knowledge of Mooc and higher education industry with the arrival of the same. They may also represent an important contribution to the decision makers of educational institutions for enabling a better understanding of Mooc phenomenon and its implications for their educational institutions.

Parisot, Xavier. "Influence des logiques d'innovation ouvertes sur l'émergence des écosystèmes d'affaires dans les Bioindustries françaises." Thesis, Paris, CNAM, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015CNAM0996/document.
Full textAbstract:
Les biotechnologies mobilisées aujourd'hui dans les bioindustries requièrent des compétences qu'une entreprise ne peut plus maîtriser seule. L'aboutissement d'innovations disruptives implique une approche pluridisciplinaire nécessitant l'intervention de plusieurs secteurs industriels ce qui s'oppose à une logique d'innovation propriétaire. La transversalité nécessaire à ces rapprochements entre entreprises privées et secteurs public et ou entre industries issues de secteurs d'activités différents modifie profondément la nature des modèles d'organisation. Parmi l'ensemble des modèles adoptés, celui des écosystèmes d'affaires (EA) occupe une place de plus en plus centrale dans les bioindustries. L'optimisation des logiques d'innovation associées est devenue un enjeu auquel même les institutions tentent de répondre en soutenant l'adoption de logiques d'innovation ouverte (IO) et le développement d'EA. Pourtant la nature de ces deux notions restent discutées et leur combinaison théorique mal comprise. Bien que les études de cas montrent que les EA appuient leur développement sur l'IO dans les domaines dont le développement repose sur la connaissance, la nature et la séquence de mise en œuvre des concepts mobilisés restent à déterminer. De plus, le débat demeure concernant la nature ontologique et les limites épistémologiques des notions d'IO et d'EA. Cette thèse s'efforce de préciser ces éléments puis elle détermine quel rôle est joué par l'IO dans l'émergence des EA dans les bioindustries françaises.L'analyse ontologique de la notion d'EA révèle la valeur purement métaphorique des transpositions effectuées par Moore depuis l'écologie pour en établir la définition. Par conséquent, l'approche analogique adoptée par une partie des scientifiques ne peut être retenue pour établir les limites épistémologiques de la notion d'EA. La nature ontologique de la notion d'IO reste incertaine. Nature des flux d'informations inter-organisationnels et capacités dynamiques des firmes sont conjointement mobilisés. Cette incertitude n'étant pas permissive à la réalisation d'une analyse épistémologique, les capacités dynamiques sont ici choisies comme fondement théorique de l'IO. L'analyse épistémologique de la notion d'EA démontre l'application d'une boucle récursive dans sa construction. De plus, elle révèle l'existence d'une théorie substantive derrière la notion d'EA, théorie mobilisant une séquence de concepts mise en œuvre successivement dans l'émergence des EA. L'IO étant l'une des notions mobilisées.La posture épistémologique adoptée dans cette thèse est celle du réalisme critique. Elle permet la prise en compte de la boucle récursive, est adaptée à l'approche par les théories ancrées, et intègre les circonstances intrinsèques et extrinsèques justifiant la manière dont les mécanismes générateurs sont activés. Elle autorise la formulation d'hypothèses fondatrices d'ordre ontologique. Ce choix permet de conserver la posture épistémologique séminale implicite de Moore, de légitimer la valeur de sa démarche ancrée, d'assumer l'hypothèse ontologique formulée à propos des fondements de l'IO, et de tenir compte des facteurs tant environnementaux qu'organisationnels justifiant de l'émergence des EA. La méthodologie d'analyse qui en découle est qualitative. Elle passe par une comparaison de deux études de cas réalisées sur la base d'analyses de données secondaires. Les facteurs contextuels de chaque cas sont corrélés afin de dévoiler les mécanismes générateurs justifiant du rôle de l'IO dans l'émergence des EA.Les résultats confirment la séquence de mise en œuvre des concepts proposés par Moore dans l'émergence des EA pour les bioindustries françaises. Ils précisent la place de l'IO dans cette séquence en spécifiant son rôle dans le passage de la collaboration à la coévolution des firmes au sein de l'EA. Ils confirment que l'EA ne constitue pas un modèle d'organisation en soi mais une posture inter-firmes favorisant l'adoption de modèles adaptésBiotechnologies mobilized today in bio-industries require skills that companies can no longer control alone. The development of disruptive innovations involves a multidisciplinary approach requiring the intervention of several industrial sectors that is opposed to proprietary innovation logic. Transversality necessary for these collaborations between private companies and public sectors and or between industries from different business sectors profoundly changes the nature of organizational models chosen by firms. Among all the models adopted, the business ecosystem (BE) occupies a more and more central place in bio-industries. The optimization of the associated logical innovation has become a challenge that even the institutions are trying to respond by supporting the adoption of open innovation logics (OI) and the development of BE. Yet, the nature of these two notions is still discussed and there theoretical combination remains poorly understood. Although case studies show that BE support their development on OI in knowledge based industries, nature and implementation sequence of underlying concepts remain to be determined. Moreover, the debate remains regarding the ontological and epistemological limits of OI and BE notions. This thesis seeks to clarify these elements and determines what role is played by the OI in the emergence of BE in the French bio-industries.The ontological analysis of BE notion reveals the purely metaphorical transpositions made by Moore from ecology to establish its definition. Therefore, the analogical approach supported by a part of the scientific community can't be applied to establish the epistemological limits of BE notion. The ontological nature of OI notion remains uncertain. Nature of inter-organizational information flows and dynamic capabilities of firms are jointly mobilized. This uncertainty is not permissive to the achievement of an epistemological analysis, therefore dynamic capacities here were chosen as theoretical foundations of the OI notion. The epistemological analysis of the development of BE notion demonstrates the application of a recursive loop in its construction. Moreover, it reveals the existence of a substantive theory behind the BE notion, theory which mobilizes a sequence of concepts implemented successively in the emergence of BE. The OI is one of mobilized notions.The epistemological posture adopted in this thesis is that of critical realism. It allows the inclusion of the recursive loop. It is suitable for the approach by grounded theories. It integrates intrinsic and extrinsic circumstances justifying how generating mechanisms are activated. It allows the formulation of founding ontological assumptions. This choice preserves Moore's implicit epistemological posture, legitimizes the value of its grounded approach, assumes the ontological assumption made about the foundations of OI notion, and takes into account both environmental and organizational factors justifying the emergence of BE. The resulting methodology is qualitative. It goes through a comparison of two case studies based on secondary data analysis. Contextual factors of each case are correlated to reveal the generative mechanisms justifying the role of OI in the emergence of BE.The results confirm the implementation sequence of concepts proposed by Moore in the emergence of BE in the French bio-industries. They precise the place of OI in this sequence by specifying its role in the transition from collaboration to co-evolution of firms within BE. They confirm that BE is not an organizational model in itself, but an inter-organizational stance promoting the adoption of appropriate models

Full textAbstract:
L’objectif de cette recherche est d’expliquer l'adoption des pratiques d'innovation ouverte par les PME en explorant les caractéristiques stratégiques, organisationnelles et environnementales des PME. Nous posons tout d’abords les fondements théoriques nécessaires à la compréhension du concept d’innovation ouverte et fournissons une meilleure compréhension de sa spécificité dans le contexte de la PME. Nous utilisons ensuite un processus d'analyse documentaire pour identifier vingt-deux déterminants, trois stratégiques d’innovation et onze pratiques d'innovation ouverte et proposer un modèle intégratif pour l'adoption de l'innovation ouverte dans les PME qui lie les caractéristiques stratégiques, organisationnelles et environnementales aux pratiques d’innovation ouverte. Après avoir justifié nos choix épistémologiques et méthodologiques, à savoir le choix d’une démarche hypothético-déductive ancrée dans un positionnement réaliste critique et une méthodologie quantitative nous vérifions l’existence d’un lien statistiquement significatif entre les caractéristiques organisationnelles, stratégiques et environnementales des PME Normandes et l’adoption des pratiques d’innovation ouverte. Nos résultats montrent que l’exploitation n’est pas corrélée aux pratiques d’innovation ouverte et que l’ambidextrie est positivement corrélée aux pratiques d’innovation ouverte. Cependant, l’exploration n’est pas corrélée aux pratiques d’innovation ouverte puisque seule la co-conception est négativement corrélée à la stratégie d’exploitation et seul le capital venture est négativement corrélé à la stratégie d’exploitation et positivement corrélé à l’ambidextrie. D’autres régressions logistiques simples et multiples ont ensuite permis d’identifier les principales variables organisationnelles et environnementales expliquant le recours aux différentes pratiques d’innovation ouverte. Les résultats révèlent que les déterminants structurels et extra-organisationnels sont liés aux trois logique d’innovation ouverte, que les déterminants inter-organisationnels sont significativement corrélés aux pratiques d’outside-in et de coupled process mais d’inside-out. Les déterminants environnementaux sont significativement corrélés aux pratiques de coupled process et d’inside-out, mais pas d’outside-in. Les résultats montrent que les caractéristiques organisationnelles et environnementales sont significativement corrélées aux pratiques d’innovation ouverte adoptées par les PME. Pour finir nous avons réalisé une classification qui a fait apparaître trois groupes de PME : un groupe de PME dites innovatrices fermées, qui pratiquent peu l’innovation ouverte, un groupe de PME dites innovatrices d’acquisition qui cherchent à enrichir leur processus de R&D par l’achat de ressources externes, et le groupe des PME innovatrices interactives qui favorisent la collaboration entre différents acteurs pour aboutir à une innovation conjointe. Finalement, d’un point de vue théorique, ce travail doctoral nous a permis de synthétiser les connaissances portant sur l’innovation ouverte dans les PME, de construire un modèle intégrant à la fois les pratiques d’innovation ouverte et les caractéristiques stratégiques, organisationnelles et environnementales des PME et d’identifier trois groupes de PME ayant des profils distincts en terme d’adoption de pratiques d’innovation ouverte. D’un point de vue managérial, nos travaux permettent de sensibiliser les décideurs sur les différentes combinaisons favorisant ou freinant l’adoption de l’innovation ouverte et donnent la possibilité aux dirigeants de choisir les éléments les plus appropriés pour leur PME en termes de pratiques d’innovation ouverte en fonction de la combinaison de leurs caractéristiques stratégiques, caractéristiques organisationnelles et caractéristiques environnementalesThe objective of this research is to explain the adoption of open innovation practices by SMEs by exploring the strategic, organisational and environmental characteristics of SMEs. We first of all lay the theoretical foundations for understanding the concept of open innovation and provide a better understanding of its specificity in the SME context. We then use a literature review process to identify twenty-two determinants, three innovation strategies and eleven open innovation practices and propose an integrative model for the adoption of open innovation in SMEs that links strategic, organisational and environmental characteristics to open innovation practices. After having justified our epistemological and methodological choices, namely the choice of a hypothetico-deductive approach anchored in a critical realistic positioning and a quantitative methodology, we verify the existence of a statistically significant link between the organisational, strategic and environmental characteristics of Norman SMEs and the adoption of open innovation practices. Our results show that exploitation is not correlated with open innovation practices and that ambidextrousness is positively correlated with open innovation practices. However, exploration is not correlated with open innovation practices since only co-design is negatively correlated with exploitation strategy and only venture capital is negatively correlated with exploitation strategy and positively correlated with ambidextrous. Other simple and multiple logistic regressions then identified the main organisational and environmental variables explaining the use of different open innovation practices. The results reveal that the structural and extra-organisational determinants are linked to the three open innovation logics, and that the inter-organisational determinants are significantly correlated to outside-in and coupled process but inside-out practices. The environmental determinants are significantly correlated to the practices of coupled process and inside-out, but not outside-in. The results show that organisational and environmental characteristics are significantly correlated with the open innovation practices adopted by SMEs. Finally, a classification was carried out which revealed three groups of SMEs: a group of so-called closed innovative SMEs, which do not practise open innovation much, a group of so-called acquisition innovative SMEs, which seek to enrich their R&D process by purchasing external resources, and the group of interactive innovative SMEs, which promote collaboration between different actors to achieve joint innovation. Finally, from a theoretical point of view, this doctoral work has enabled us to synthesise knowledge on open innovation in SMEs, to build a model integrating both open innovation practices and the strategic, organisational and environmental characteristics of SMEs and to identify three groups of SMEs with distinct profiles in terms of the adoption of open innovation practices. From a managerial point of view, our work raises awareness among decision-makers on the different combinations favouring or hindering the adoption of open innovation and gives managers the possibility to choose the most appropriate elements for their SME in terms of open innovation practices according to the combination of their strategic characteristics, organisational characteristics and environmental characteristics

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse présente un retour d’expérience sur le dispositif de veille et d’intelligence économique mise en place au sein de Marseille Innovation pour permettre aux éditeurs open source accompagnées dans sa pépinière d’entreprise de surveiller efficacement leur environnement pour y détecter des opportunités de développement. Ce projet s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une démarche globale, conduite par Marseille Innovation et ses partenaires pour structurer un réseau d’acteurs open source en PACA.Nous avons tout d’abord réalisé un état de l’art de la littérature open source en soulignant le paradoxe que pose le modèle open source pour les éditeurs qui choisissent d’utiliser les licences libres : l’adoption d’un modèle open source par certains éditeurs pour leurs logiciels permet une création de valeur pouvant être supérieure à celle générée dans le cadre de modèles propriétaires traditionnels, mais que cet avantage est contrebalancé par une dangereuse incertitude, quant à la captation de cette valeur, susceptible d’être récupérée par des concurrents n’ayant pourtant consentis aucun effort de développement et n’en ayant pas subis les coûts. Par la suite, nous avons présenté la naissance du logiciel libre comme le résultat des mutations de l’industrie informatique qui ont marqué le début des années 70, mutations qui ont fait passer le logiciel libre de la sphère publique à la sphère commerciale. En réaction, les défenseurs du logiciel libre ont inventé un système original de « licences publiques » pour protéger ces logiciels contre tout verrouillage technique ou légal de leur utilisation, de leur diffusion et de leur modification. Cependant, si ces licences publiques permettent de favoriser la création de valeur, à travers la coopération d’une communauté de programmeurs et la diffusion du logiciel, le caractère aléatoire de la rémunération dans le modèle open source a conduit les éditeurs à chercher et inventer de nouveaux « Bunisess Models » plus ou moins aléatoires, garantissant mieux leurs revenus.Partant des connaissances accumulées sur le modèle open source, nous avons par la suite exposé la démarche initiée par Marseille Innovation, en collaboration avec CCI de Marseille Provence et l’association Libertis, pour structurer un réseau d’acteurs open source en PACA. Cette démarche a abouti au lancement de plusieurs chantiers d’intérêt commun dont un sur la mise en place d’un dispositif de surveillance sur la filière open source.La stratégie adoptée pour mettre en place ce dispositif de surveillance consiste dans un premier temps à dresser un état de l’art des différentes approches théoriques et pratiques recensées sur le sujet dans la littérature SIC. Ensuite, une approche pragmatique de la veille a été choisie et les moyens organisationnels, processuels et techniques pour mettre en place ce dispositif de surveillance ont été étudiés. Des actions de sensibilisation à la veille et l’intelligence économique ont été également conduites auprès des membres du réseau et des startups open source accompagnées par Marseille Innovation, grâce à lesquelles des besoins en veille sont identifiés et des produits d’information sont élaborés pour permettre aux membres du réseau open source de suivre efficacement leur environnement. Des études de veille sont également réalisées pour répondre aux attentes des entreprises sur le mode de création et de captation de valeurs dans l’open source, les segments de marché porteurs, les licences informatiques et les business models qui en découlentThis thesis presents a feedback on the competitive intelligence device set up in Marseille Innovation to allow open source software editors housed in its business incubator, to effectively monitor their environment in order to detect new opportunities for development. This project is part of a comprehensive approach, led by Marseille Innovation and its partners to structure a network of open source companies in the PACA area (south of France).First, we achieved a state of the art of open source literature emphasizing the paradox posed by the open source model for software editors who choose to use free software licenses : the adoption of an open source model by some editors for their software allows a value creation that could be greater than that generated through traditional proprietary models, but this advantage is offset by a dangerous uncertainty as to the value capture, could be recovered by competitors who have yet made no programming effort to and not having incurred costs. Subsequently, we presented the birth of free software as the result of changes in the computer industry that marked the early '70s, changes which caused the passage of free software from non commercial/public sphere to commercial/private sphere. In response, defenders of free software have invented an original system of "public licenses" to protect these software’s against any technical or legal interlocking of their use, their distribution and their modification. However, if these public licenses allow to promote a value creation, through the cooperation of a community of programmers and software distribution, the randomness of remuneration in the open source model has led software editors to seek and invent new "Business Models" more or less random, to better ensure their income.Based on knowledge accumulated on the open source model, we have subsequently explained the approach initiated by Marseille Innovation, in collaboration with Marseille-Provence Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) and Libertis, to structure a network of open source companies in the PACA area. This approach led to the launch of several projects of mutual interest, including one on the setting-up of a monitoring device to monitor open source software industry.The approach adopted to setting-up this monitoring device consists in a first step to establish a state of the art of different theoretical approaches and practices identified in the information and communication sciences’ literature. Then, a pragmatic approach of monitoring has been chosen. Organizational means, processual and technical have been studied to set up this monitoring device. Raising awareness actions to competitive intelligence were also conducted with members of the network and open source startups coached by Marseille Innovation, through which information needs are identified and information products are developed to enable members of open source network to effectively monitor their environment. Bibliometric studies are also made to meet the expectations of open source companies on how to create and capture value in the open source software model, about promising market segments, software licenses and business models that result

In the United States, 41% of small retail businesses fail to succeed for longer than 5 years. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore strategies small retail business owners used to remain sustainable for more than 5 years. The conceptual framework that grounded this study was Schumpeter's innovation theory. The sample size of this research included 4 successful retail business owners located in the southeastern region of the United States who have successfully started and managed their business activities for more than 5 years. Data were collected using semistructured face-to-face interviews with successful owners of small retail businesses and reviews of the organizations' internal documents. Data were coded, categorized, and labeled using coding techniques, and then validated using member checking. Data analysis processes included a thematic analysis method to identify emerging themes. The results of data analysis revealed 3 significant themes: passion and determination for doing business, market development and customer satisfaction, and business model innovation. The results indicated that the use of innovation theory enabled small retail business owners to develop innovative strategies to sustain the business for more than 5 years. The results also showed that innovation increases sales and profits for the longer term. The implications of this study for positive social change include the potential to create new jobs, enhance tax revenues and growth for governments, and improve social environments from revenue generated by employment.

Previous issue date: 2015-12-08Esta dissertação analisa a vantagem competitiva das indústrias farmacêuticas, segmento saúde humana Brasil, que adotam a inovação aberta. É um estudo de caráter exploratório e abordagem qualitativa descritiva. Qual é a contribuição da inovação aberta para a vantagem competitiva da indústria farmacêutica foi a pergunta de pesquisa. Identificar a prática da inovação nas empresas selecionadas, verificar a adoção da inovação aberta e descrever a contribuição desta para a vantagem competitiva foram os objetivos específicos. O referencial teórico articula a literatura sobre inovação e vantagem competitiva para melhor entendimento das inter-relações entre os constructos. Dez organizações, duas associações e um representante da academia foram selecionados após análise de informações institucionais e registros documentais. Os principais executivos das empresas nacionais, multinacionais e associações de fabricantes responderam à pesquisa com perguntas semiestruturadas, roteiro padrão e perguntas abertas. O tratamento dos dados qualitativos seguiu a técnica de análise interpretativa. As metacategorias encontradas foram: inovação, pesquisa e desenvolvimento, inovação aberta e vantagem competitiva. Os resultados sinalizam que nestas empresas os produtos novos decorrem de inovações incrementais, radicais e disruptivas. Elas utilizam estratégias tecnológicas ofensivas, defensivas, imitativas e dependentes. No Brasil, a prática da inovação aberta entre as indústrias nacionais participantes acontece em diferentes estágios, conforme gestão interna e externa dos processos de inovação, propriedade intelectual, parcerias, pesquisa e desenvolvimento. Indústrias multinacionais que praticam a inovação aberta no exterior, não adotam no Brasil por razões que coincidem entre os entrevistados. Empresas que utilizam a inovação aberta relataram sua contribuição para recursos e capacidades valiosos, raros e inimitáveis. Dificuldades para adoção no país, também foram mencionadas. Espera-se que este estudo contribua para futuros trabalhos e pesquisas acadêmicas relacionadas à inovação aberta.

Thesis (MScEng (Industrial Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Organisations are continuously striving to attain and maintain a competitive advantage over their peers. The innovation process provides an excellent vehicle for driving this sustained quest for competitiveness, whether on product, process or strategic level. However, in reality the increased availability and adoption of technology force organisations to increase the speed and effectiveness of their innovation processes to match not only those of their competitors, but to deal with the ever-increasing power of the individual – the empowered, consuming, producing “prosumer”. The innovation process itself should therefore undergo dramatic alterations to cope with – and include – these empowered prosumers. It is for this reason that the evolution of the innovation process has undergone changes, and is now moving towards the notion of Open Innovation. Although Open Innovation has been adopted by various organisations, it was found that a wellformulated, standardised set of Open Innovation models is lacking from existing literature. This research bridges the gap between the previous innovation models and the notion of an open approach to internal innovation, to improve the speed and effectiveness of the innovation process. It does this by investigating two primary research fields: innovation and Open Innovation, and then merging the two fields to provide a standardised framework to incorporate Open Innovation in the standard innovation process. The fundamentals of innovation are investigated, whereafter the focus moves to understanding a specific, existing innovation process framework, the Fugle Innovation Process Model. The second field (Open Innovation) is introduced, whereafter various literature sources (real-life examples, case studies and interviews) are used to develop (categorise, define and describe) five standard Open Innovation models. The five developed Open Innovation models are then allocated to the investigated, standard innovation process, according to what is needed in that particular phase of the innovation process and the beneficial offerings of each Open Innovation model. The allocated models therefore provide a potential substitute for the existing internal activity associated with each of the specific phases. The result is an existing innovation process model, populated with implementable Open Innovation models to increase not only the value of the innovation process model, but also the value to organisations who wish to deploy Open Innovation.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Maatskappye is voortdurend besig om ’n mededingende voordeel bo hulle mededingers te probeer verkry en te handhaaf. Die innovasieproses bied ’n uitstekende metode om hierdie doel na te streef, hetsy op produk-, proses- of strategiese vlak. Die realiteit is egter dat die tempo waarmee tegnologie aangeneem en aanvaar word, en sodoende vrylik gebruik word, konstant toeneem. Dit dwing maatskappye om die spoed en effektiwiteit van hulle innovasieproses volhoubaar te verbeter, nie net om by te hou by hulle mededingers nie, maar ook om die maatskappy korrek te posisioneer ten opsigte van die moderne, bemagtigde verbruiker. Die innovasieproses moet dus self ’n gedaanteverwisseling ondergaan om ruimte te bied vir die insluiting van hierdie bemagtigde verbruikers. Daarom verander die evolusionêre progressie van die innovasieproses voortdurend en is dit besig om in die rigting van “Oop Innovasie” te beweeg. Alhoewel Oop Innovasie reeds deur verskeie maatskappye toegepas word, is daar gevind dat goed geformuleerde, standaard-, implementeerbare prosesse (of modelle) steeds in die literatuur ontbreek. Hierdie navorsings oorbrug dus die leemte tussen die meer konvensionele “geslote innovasie” en die nuwerwetse neiging na “Oop Innovasie”, om sodoende die spoed en effektiwiteit van die interne innovasieproses te verbeter. Dit word bereik deur die twee kernnavorsingsvelde te ondersoek: innovasie en Oop Innovasie, en dan die twee velde te kombineer om ’n gestandaardiseerde model te skep wat Oop Innovasie by die standaard-innovasieproses insluit. Die metodiek fokus eerstens op die kernaspekte van innovasie om ’n beter begrip van die veld te ontwikkel. Daarna verskuif die klem na die beskrywing van ’n reeds bestaande innovasieprosesmodel, die Fugle-innovasieprosesmodel. Hierna word Oop Innovasie bekend gestel, waarna vyf implementeerbare Oop Innovasie-modelle ontwikkel word aan die hand van verskeie werklike voorbeelde, gevallestudies en onderhoude, om sodoende die modelle te groepeer, te definieer en te beskryf (voordele, nadele en vereistes). Die vyf Oop Innovasie-modelle word hierna toegedeel aan die verskillende fases van die innovasieprosesmodel deur ’n vergelyking te tref tussen die behoeftes van elk van die fases en die proposisie wat elk van die Oop Innovasie-modelle bied. Die resultaat is dus ’n bestaande innovasieprosesmodel waarvan die waarde verhoog is deur die insluiting van implementeerbare Oop Innovasie-modelle. Dit voeg waarde toe vir organisasies wat graag ’n Oop Innovasieproses wil instel.

In today’s dynamic corporate environment where firms struggle to maintain a competitive advantage, ambidextrous firms focusing on both exploration and exploitation are more likely to survive and prosper in the long run. Scholars have identified and examined a number of antecedents of organizational ambidexterity, but extant studies have not fully explored the role of a firm’s absorptive capacity in developing its organizational ambidexterity. The relevance of the absorptive capacity concept is paramount since new sources of competitive advantage would very likely come from outside the organizations. In this research, I explore the relationship between a firm’s absorptive capacity and organizational ambidexterity by focusing on two levels of absorptive capacity and three dimensions of organizational ambidexterity. Using a survey of 5,600 companies performed by the Government of Chile in 2015, and then a subsample of panel data that includes 760 companies for the 2009-2014 period, I find that both strategic and operational absorptive capacity contribute to the incremental exploitation dimension of organizational ambidexterity. My study contributes to our understanding of the absorptive capacity construct and illuminates how it affects organizational ambidexterity. The study also provides managerial implications as to what kind of external knowledge to procure and how to leverage it based on the firm’s ambidexterity goals.

Thesis (MScEng (Industrial Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.ENGLISH SUMMARY: The research documents the development of a conceptual framework, the improbable circumstances strategic (ICS) framework, which guides organisations in the preparation for improbable circumstances. Four fields include: strategic management, innovation, systems thinking and complexity theories (black swans). The black swan principle was introduced with its applicability to the 2008 economic crisis. The black swan is an event which is retrospective in its predictability, highly improbable and carries extreme impact. There are various principles to cope with black swans which will now play a role in strategic management. Strategic management is studied from a systems thinking perspective which is a school of thought that strategy is a process which an organisation should follow from analysis, synthesis, implementation through to the operation phase. Some tools applicable to the analysis and synthesis phases were studied to give a greater understanding of the current field of strategic management. Innovation is an underlying principle which supports the strategic process. Innovation is a field which is currently not playing a large role in the strategy process. The principles of the innovation life cycle, innovation management and open innovation were studied to support the framework as well as create awareness around the advantages thereof within the field strategy. The dissertation uses aspects of these four fields to form the ICS framework. The framework consists of four phases: the analysis phase; the improbable event creation phase; the fragility analysis phase; and the synthesis phase. The first three phases run parallel with the current analysis phase of strategic management as the ICS framework is not designed to replace the strategic management process, but to add to it. The synthesis phase is where the design of the strategic plan for improbable circumstances takes place. Each phase sets out the inputs, requirements and deliverables needed for the successful implementation of the framework. Some tools for each of the phases are given, but they are given merely as a guideline as different organisations have the infrastructure for different tools. The framework is partially validated by being able to apply various tools to each phase, but the framework’s place in the field of strategy should be validated. The validation is done through interviews with eight industry experts in the four fields of study discussed. The results show a positive response with a call for future study through implementation, a tracking of the framework through this implementation and critical factors that arise from that.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie navorsing beskryf die ontwikkeling van ‘n moontlike raamwerk; die onverwagte omstandigheids strategiese (ICS) raamwerk, wat organisasies met die voorbereiding vir onverwagte gebeure kan help. Vier areas word beskryf wat insluit: strategiese bestuur, innovasie, stelsels denke en kompleksiteitsteorie(swart swane). Die swart swaan beginsel is gebruik weens die toepasbaarheid daarvan op die ekonomiese krisis van 2008. ‘n Swart swaan is ‘n gebeurtenis wat terugwerkend voorspelbaar is, baie onwaarskynlik en ‘n groot impak het. Daar is verskeie beginsels om swart swane te hanteer wat vorentoe ‘n rol in strategiese bestuur kan speel. Strategiese bestuur word vanuit ‘n stelsels denke oogpunt bekyk wat strategie as die proses sien wat ‘n organisasie moet volg van analises, saamvoeging en implimentering tot die bedryfsfase. Sommige tegnieke wat op analises en sintese gerig is, is ondersoek om ‘n groter begrip van strategiese bestuur te gee. Innovasie is die onderliggende beginsel wat die strategiese proses ondersteun. Innovasie speel tans nie ‘n noemenswaardige rol in die strategie proses nie. Beginsels van die innovasie siklus, innovasiebestuur en oop innovasie is ondersoek om die raamwerk te ondersteun asook om ‘n bewuswording van die voordele daarvan in strategie uit te wys. Hierdie verhandeling bespreek vier fases van die ICS raamwerk: analises; die onverwagte gebeurtenis skepping; kwesbaarheids analises; en sintese fases. Die eerste drie fases word parallel met die bestaande analitiese fases van strategie bestuur as die ICS raamwerk gedoen en is nie ontwerp om die strategie bestuurs proses te vervang nie, maar om daartoe by te dra. Gedurende die sintese fase word die ontwerp van die strategiese plan vir onverwagte gebeure gedoen. Elke fase beskryf die toevoer, benodigdhede en aflewerbares nodig vir die suksesvolle implimentering van die raamwerk. Sommige hulpmiddels vir elk van die fases word gegee, maar slegs as ‘n riglyn want verskillende organisasies het die infrastruktuur vir verskillende hulpmiddels. Die raaamwerk word deels gekontroleer deur dat dit moontlik is om verskeie hulpmiddels op elke fase toe te pas, maar die plek van die raamwerk in die area van strategie moet gekontroleer word. Kontrole is gedoen deur dit met agt industrie kenners in die vier studie velde te bespreek. Die resultate toon ‘n positiewe reaksie vir toekomstige navorsing deur implimentering en die navolg van die raamwerk deur hierdie implimentering en die kritiese faktore wat daaruit mag voorvloei te doen.

“[A]s much as any other product, the car has shaped not only the global economy but how billions of people live”1,whilethe digital area is nowshapingthe car.Coopetition, a strategy presenting firms with the opportunity to collaborate and compete at the same time,is becoming a prevalent phenomenonamong large OEMs and start-ups in the automotive industry.Respectively, considering that coopetition, in the context of open innovation and new technologies, has been identified as a successful strategy, this thesis will therefore analyse the relationship between OEMs and external start-ups in the context of coopetition and corporate open innovation strategies. Several typesof corporate incubators, accelerators and corporate innovation labs emerged within the last years, howeveran integration of all three of these has not yet been widely explored. Accordingly, while these open innovation streamsare used by large corporationsto get access to the start-upecosystemand increase their innovation capabilities, the relationship between OEMs and external start-ups will further lead to CIIAs (a combined approach of corporate incubators, corporate innovation labs and corporate accelerators),demonstratedin the context of coopetition. This exploratory study therebycontributes to the relationship between external start-ups and OEMsthrough aCIIA approach,answering the two following researchquestions;•What are the main drivers of the OEM and external start-uprelationship?•How do OEMs and external start-ups coopete in the context of corporate open innovation strategies?To dulyanswer these research questions, we choseaqualitative researchmethodcombined with an interpretivist and inductiveapproachas well asempirical findings generated from 6semi-structured interviews.

Over the past several decades, technology has become fundamental to the facilitation of communication, collaboration and productivity inside and between enterprises. Enterprises use numerous tools to reach their customers, manage increasingly decentralized and mobile workforces and to create digital assets critical to their daily operations. In the last several years, changes in the availability of internet access and the compatibility of internet browsers has resulted in massively scalable services available on the internet - delivered by models termed "Software as a Service" and "Cloud Computing". This delivery mechanism is vastly different from traditional models of enterprise software delivery where enterprise purchase, install and manage their own enterprise software packages. This thesis will evaluate a strategy for one of the market leaders in messaging, IBM Lotus, in the face of the disruptive forces of new internet enabled delivery mechanisms like Software as a Service and Cloud Computing. In doing so, it will integrate the topics of several researchers in the field of strategy and innovation. After a treatment of background topics and themes, it will present an evaluation of the enterprise software market in the face of the disruptive forces created by the internet. A framework for evaluating market strategies for established players will be developed using concepts of software platforms and open innovation. Finally, a case study of the established player will be viewed through the lens of this framework.

Full textAbstract:
Advances in medical technology have altered the need for certain types of surgery to be performed in traditional inpatient hospital settings. Less invasive surgical procedures allow a growing number of medical treatments to take place on an outpatient basis. Hospitals face growing competition from ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). The competitive threats posed by ASCs are important, given that inpatient surgery has been the cornerstone of hospital services for over a century. Additional research is needed to understand how surgical volume shifts between and within acute care general hospitals (ACGHs) and ASCs. This study investigates how medical technology within the hospital industry is changing medical services delivery. The main purposes of this study are to (1) test Clayton M. Christensen’s theory of disruptive innovation in health care, and (2) examine the effects of disruptive innovation on appendectomy, cholecystectomy, and bariatric surgery (ACBS) utilization. Disruptive innovation theory contends that advanced technology combined with innovative business models—located outside of traditional product markets or delivery systems—will produce simplified, quality products and services at lower costs with broader accessibility. Consequently, new markets will emerge, and conventional industry leaders will experience a loss of market share to “non-traditional” new entrants into the marketplace. The underlying assumption of this work is that ASCs (innovative business models) have adopted laparoscopy (innovative technology) and their unification has initiated disruptive innovation within the hospital industry. The disruptive effects have spawned shifts in surgical volumes from open to laparoscopic procedures, from inpatient to ambulatory settings, and from hospitals to ASCs. The research hypothesizes that: (1) there will be larger increases in the percentage of laparoscopic ACBS performed than open ACBS procedures; (2) ambulatory ACBS will experience larger percent increases than inpatient ACBS procedures; and (3) ASCs will experience larger percent increases than ACGHs. The study tracks the utilization of open, laparoscopic, inpatient and ambulatory ACBS. The research questions that guide the inquiry are: 1. How has ACBS utilization changed over this time? 2. Do ACGHs and ASCs differ in the utilization of ACBS? 3. How do states differ in the utilization of ACBS? 4. Do study findings support disruptive innovation theory in the hospital industry? The quantitative study employs a panel design using hospital discharge data from 2004 and 2009. The unit of analysis is the facility. The sampling frame is comprised of ACGHs and ASCs in Florida and Wisconsin. The study employs exploratory and confirmatory data analysis. This work finds that disruptive innovation theory is an effective model for assessing the hospital industry. The model provides a useful framework for analyzing the interplay between ACGHs and ASCs. While study findings did not support the stated hypotheses, the impact of government interventions into the competitive marketplace supports the claims of disruptive innovation theory. Regulations that intervened in the hospital industry facilitated interactions between ASCs and ACGHs, reducing the number of ASCs performing ACBS and altering the trajectory of ACBS volume by shifting surgeries from ASCs to ACGHs.

Thesis, Umeå universitet, Företagsekonomi, 2020. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-172308.
Full textAbstract:
The world is changing. With more complex products and services available, shortened life cycles, and shifts in customers behavior due to the increased availability of information, companies needs to explore new capabilities and organizational practices to effectively preserve a competitive advantage through new innovations. A competitive advantage is said to be difficult to create and sustain in today’s markets. Many startups and corporates, are therefore, changing their innovation processes from a traditional linear process to more of an open process. Many scholars have studied this phenomenon from a corporate perspective, leaving a gap in existing literature on how startups are contributing with their innovative and entrepreneurial mindset to the context of open innovation. It is visible that startups are possessing an extensive amount of exploration capabilities, while lacking capabilities related to exploitation. Finding a balance between exploration and exploitation capabilities is an issue for startups due to its limitations of resources. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to distinguish how an innovation hub enables startups with balancing exploration and exploitation capabilities. For this study, the innovation hub of our choosing is Ignite. Based on the literature review and the identified research gaps, the following research question has been formulated to investigate the phenomenon of balancing organizational capabilities from a startup perspective: RQ: How can an innovation hub help startups find a balance between exploration and exploitation capabilities? To properly answer the research question, the chosen research approach was selected as a qualitative research method. The empirical findings were gathered from 11 semi-structured interviews, where nine interviews have been with managers from startups active in Ignite and two interviews with team members from Ignite. In addition to the empirical findings, we developed a proposed framework that explains the whole process of startups being active in Ignite from pre-intervention, addressing challenges related to startups and the reasons why they should engage in being active in an innovation hub, to post-intervention, addressing the possible outcomes received by being active in Ignite. To conclude, this thesis contributes with an understanding on how startups may use a third party, such as Ignite, to get help with the balancing act of exploration and exploitation capabilities. The findings show that the third party is helping the startups with balancing their organizational capabilities in an indirect way. This is done through Ignite’s accurate matchmaking process and their deep understanding about which capabilities the big corporations are looking for, which Ignite gathers from a needs analysis together with the big corporation. From this thesis, startups as well as big corporations, will understand the importance of involving a third party for the purpose of creating and sustaining a competitive advantage by balancing their exploration and exploitation capabilities.

A presente pesquisa tem como proposta a estruturação de metodologia de projeto chamada de Open Strategic Design (OSD) que teve por base o acervo de conhecimento produzido pelo design estratégico, e por motivação a necessidade de que essa metodologia estivesse alinhada ao contexto social contemporâneo, marcado pela lógica de consumo, pela interação hiperconectada e pela natureza simbólica das representações. Compreende-se o design como retórica que organiza os elementos de contexto (cultura de consumo e mediação tecnológica) e de linguagem (projeto, inovação aberta e design estratégico), e que, como tal, pode formular percursos estratégicos diferenciados. Daí resultou a construção de uma plataforma digital de projeto aberto e coletivo, o wedode.com, base da realização da experiência de aplicação e teste da proposta de OSD. A coletividade que participou da experiência produziu material que possibilitou a crítica da metodologia de projeto e insumos para alteração na plataforma usada.
The present research has as purpose the structuring of design methodology called Open Strategic Design (OSD) that was based on the collection of knowledge produced by the estrategic design, and motivated by the need for this methodology to be aligned with the contemporaneous social context, marked by the logic of consumption, hyper connected interaction and the nature of symbolic representations. We understand design as rhetoric that organizes the context elements (consumer culture and technological mediation) and language (project, open innovation and strategic design), and, as such, may make differentiated strategic paths. This led to the construction of a digital platform design open and collective, wedode.com, foundation of the application experience and testing of the proposed OSD. The group that participated in the experiment produced material that allowed criticism of the project methodology and insights to be used to change the platform.

consolidation of local and regional economies (Ayandibu & Houghton 2017; Zafar & Mustafa
2017; Ormazabal et al. 2018; Yun et al. 2019; Yun & Liu, 2019). This thesis contributes to
this stream of the literature with new evidence by means of three independent, yet
interconnected studies.
In a globalised and dynamic world, SMEs strive to survive. They do not only have to
compete for a market share with large corporations, but also have to ensure they generate
revenues, being financially sustainable (Oke et al., 2007; Bayarçelik et al., 2014). To achive
this goal, innovation becomes a must-do strategy. The marketplace is characterized by an
offer that is larger than the demand, where the consumer has the final say. Within this context,
companies need to focus all their efforts very well and anticipate to customer’s needs,
offering products and/or services that meet their expectations. Although investments in R&D
are typically linked to substantial economic efforts (Battaglia et al. 2018; Booltink y SakaHelmhout 2018; Colclough et al., 2019), in recent years, the paradigm of open innovation has
appeared as an alternative and a more attractive solution.
Open innovation combines the internal knowledge of a company with ideas and
opportunities from the outside. The introduction of open innovation practices in a company
requires changes in the business model, ensuring a proper alignment at the strategic,
operational and organizational levels. Likewise, an active network with other agents of the
ecosystem (e.g., other companies, suppliers, research institution, universities, public
adminsitration) are necessary in order to exchange information, so that the final result is
greater than the sum of the individual parts.
Although the literature on open innovation is extensive, its specific application in SMEs
is limited. In fact, most of the principles of open innovation have been studied in large
corporations. SMEs have a more flexible structure and their decision-making processes are shorter (Lee et al., 2010), henceforth, it should be easier for them to adapt and incorporate
new practices. Research in this direction is still scarce with existing studies providing
inconclusive results (Hossain and Anees-ur-Rehman, 2016; Wikhamn et al., 2016).
Accordingly, new studies are necessary to shed new light on how this type of businesses are
adopting the principles of open innovation, the benefits it brings to the firms, the impact in
their performance and the challenges ahead.
This dissertation addresses the above issues by means of three independent that are
highly related but delve into this topic from different perspectives. The first study (article 1)
scrutinizes the existing literature on open innovation in SMEs, offering a complete and
updated picture of the main contributions of the academic world on this subject. The second
study (article 2) builds upon the first article, and investigates how the business model is
modified as a result of the introduction of open innovation practices in the company as well as
the impact on the performance. A multiple case study is conducted to answer these questions.
Finally, the third study (article 3), complements the previous by adopting a causal complexity
approach. Specifically, this article examines the combined effect of open innovation practices,
the own characteristics of the company and its innovation strategy. The ultimate goal is to
unveil the underlying patterns that SMEs can follow to remain competitive in the
marketplace.
The thesis ends with the discussion of the main conclusions and implications, which are
expected to help SMEs to make better strategic decisions that minimize their potential risks
and maximize the use of their resources. Indications for future research avenues are outlined
at the end of this dissertationEsta tesis tiene por objetivo investigar cómo las prácticas de innovación abierta en las pequeñas y medianas empresas (pymes) influyen su rendimiento. Cada vez más, dichas empresas tienen un papel más relevante en la economía. No es de extrañar que tanto académicos como los organismos encargados de definir políticas legales y económicas dediquen recursos y programas a su estudio e impulso para asegurar su presencia y consolidación en el tejido productivo del territorio (Ayandibu y Houghton 2017; Zafar y Mustafa 2017; Ormazabal et al. 2018; Yun et al. 2019; Yun y Liu, 2019). Esta tesis aporta nuevas evidencias a esta realidad a través de tres estudios. En un contexto cada vez más global y dinámico, las pymes deben también competir para posicionarse en el mercado, pero al mismo tiempo luchar para ser financieramente rentables (Oke et al., 2007; Bayarçelik et al., 2014). En este punto, innovar se convierte en una obligación más que en una opción. Los mercados se caracterizan por una oferta muy amplia, donde el consumidor tiene la última palabra. Por ello, las empresas deben focalizar muy bien sus esfuerzos y poder anticiparse a las necesidades de los clientes, ofreciéndoles productos/servicios que cubran sus expectativas. Si bien la inversión en I+D+i acostumbra a venir acompañada de importantes esfuerzos económicos (Battaglia et al. 2018; Booltink y Saka-Helmhout 2018; Colclough et al., 2019), en los últimos años, la innovación abierta se presenta como una solución más atractiva, que combina el conocimiento interno de la propia empresa con ideas y oportunidades del exterior. Introducir prácticas de innovación abierta requiere de cambios en el modelo de negocio de una empresa, asegurando así un correcto alineamiento a nivel estratégico, operativo y organizativo. Así mismo, se necesita de una red activa con los demás agentes del ecosistema (e.g., otras empresas, proveedores, centros de investigación, universidades, administración pública, etc.) para interaccionar y compartir información, de manera que el resultado final sea mayor que la suma individual de las partes. Si bien la literatura sobre innovación abierta es extensa, su aplicación concreta en las pymes es limitada. De hecho, la mayoría de los principios de innovación abierta se han estudiado en las grandes empresas. Sin embargo, las pymes tienen una estructura interna más flexible y los procesos de decisión son más cortos (Lee et al., 2010), por lo que teóricamente deberían estar más bien equipadas para adaptarse e incorporar nuevas prácticas. A parte de incipiente, la literatura no es concluyente en este aspecto (Hossain y Anees-ur-Rehman, 2016; Wikhamn et al., 2016), siendo necesarios nuevos estudios sobre cómo esta tipología de empresas está adoptando los principios de la innovación abierta, los beneficios que les aporta, los retos que les supone y su impacto en el desempeño global de la empresa. Esta tesis aborda las cuestiones anteriores a través de tres estudios independientes, pero a su vez, altamente relacionadas que ahondan en esta temática desde distintas perspectivas. En un primer estudio (artículo 1), se analiza la literatura existente sobre innovación abierta en pymes, ofreciendo una fotografía completa y actualizada sobre las principales aportaciones del mundo académico sobre esta temática. El segundo estudio (artículo 2), partiendo de la revisión anterior e incidiendo en unas de las líneas de investigación detectadas, se investiga cómo se modifica el modelo de negocio al introducir prácticas de innovación abierta, y su impacto en el desempeño de la empresa. Para ello se realiza un estudio de casos. Por último, el tercer estudio (artículo 3), complementa los dos anteriores, ofreciendo un nuevo punto de vista: el efecto combinado entre las prácticas de innovación abierta, las características de la propia empresa y su estrategia de innovación. El objetivo último es el de determinar distintos patrones que pueden seguir las pymes para mantener un buen desempeño empresarial según sus características. La tesis finaliza con la discusión de las principales conclusiones e implicaciones, las cuales se espera que ayuden a las pymes a tomar mejores decisiones estratégicas que minimicen sus posibles riesgos y optimicen la utilización de sus recursos. Se añaden al final indicaciones para futuras líneas de investigación en este campo.

The increasing changes in the organizational environment, propelled globalization, have lead companies to rethink their business models in order create value. Therefore, the organizational arrangements that emphasize innovation and cooperation are understood by many researchers as possible answers to these new challenges and potential sources of superior results. This research essay points to different ways of management strategic alliances considering their dynamics, their benefits and risks in environment in which organizational competence of value innovation is of importance. Empirical researches were held at EMBRAER concerning the family regional jets 170/190, as semi-structured interviews, and these data complemented with secondary sources. Bibliographic revision was also done during all the stages of the survey order to assure theoretical basis and offer main subsidies to the questionary preparation, the choice of methodology and the field data collection work itself. The results of the empirical data point to, among others, some relevant contributions: the importance of strategic alliances in an open innovation model, the possibility that innovation might be considered an organizational competence and the importance of value innovation to create new markets in which traditional competition becomes secondary importance
O significativo incremento das mudanças no contexto organizacional, impulsionadas pelo fenômeno da globalização, tem levado as empresas a repensarem seus modelos de negócios para gerar valor. Neste contexto, modelos de arranjos organizacionais que contemplem a inovação e a cooperação são entendidos por vários pesquisadores como propostas de respostas a estes novos desafios e fonte potencial de resultados superiores. Este trabalho de pesquisa aponta caminhos para a gestão das alianças estratégicas considerando sua dinâmica, seus benefícios e riscos em um ambiente no qual a competência organizacional da inovação de valor assume importância. Foram realizados levantamentos empíricos na Embraer relacionados à família de jatos regionais 170/190, na forma de entrevistas semiestruturadas e estes dados foram complementados a partir de fontes secundárias. Foi também realizada uma revisão bibliográfica durante todas as etapas da pesquisa de forma a delimitar as bases teóricas e fornecer os subsídios fundamentais para a elaboração das questões, a escolha da metodologia, a elaboração do questionário e o próprio trabalho de coleta de dados no campo. Os resultados dos levantamentos empíricos realizados apontam, dentre outras, algumas contribuições principais: a importância das alianças estratégicas em um modelo de inovação aberta; a possibilidade da inovação ser considerada uma competência organizacional e a importância da inovação de valor para a criação de novos mercados no qual a concorrência tradicional passa a ter importância secundária

Esta dissertação teve como objetivo avaliar as contribuições que um contexto de Open Innovation poderia acrescentar a um projeto de design estratégico voltado ao desenvolvimento de novos serviços ao público médico do Hospital Mãe de Deus, em Porto Alegre. Para tanto, fez uma avaliação qualitativa do projeto estudado, descrevendo, compreendendo e interpretando fatos e fenômenos através do método da pesquisa-ação, de maneira a associar a pesquisa social com a ação colaborativa e participativa. A tarefa de pesquisa foi constituída de duas frentes de trabalho e coleta de dados: a primeira, de caráter científico-técnico, composta por técnicas de pesquisa documental e entrevistas semiestruturadas, fez uma busca criteriosa de dados inerentes às práticas e estratégias da instituição direcionadas ao problema da analise, e coletou percepções de diversos atores, internos e externos à instituição hospitalar, sobre o fenômeno estudado que não foram capturados na análise documental; e a segunda, de caráter científico-projetual, atuou de maneira prática no cenário da investigação, buscando uma abordagem experiencial do sentido ideal de criar valor pela inovação, através do uso de capacidades inerentes aos modelos de conhecimento do Design Estratégico. Os resultados alcançados mostram que o Hospital Mãe de Deus apresenta um contexto onde se observa a inovação aberta de forma prática, permitindo a entrada de recursos externos para gerar valor ao seu negócio, porém ainda carente de processos que tornem tal prática consciente e favoreçam a utilização do conhecimento tácito do pessoal interno, permitindo sua disseminação para além da área médico-assistencial. Os resultados também indicam que a instituição explora fatores condicionantes para o sucesso de projetos de desenvolvimento de novos serviços, entre os quais a disposição da liderança em buscar novos olhares e fontes externas para contribuir com soluções diferenciadoras, impulsionando favoravelmente a gestão dos modelos assistencial e econômico sobre os quais está apoiada. O projeto de um novo serviço conduzido pela lente do design estratégico encontrou no exercício da inovação aberta dessa instituição um clima propício para que suas práticas pudessem ser compatibilizadas. Assim, a lógica do fazer característica do design estratégico e que dá forma à estratégia elaborada pela empresa, fortalece-se junto a uma situação de inovação aberta que abre espaço para uma possível execução dos conceitos e serviços projetados.
The objective of this dissertation was to evaluate the contributions that a context of Open Innovation could add to a strategical project of design focused on the development of new services to the medical public of the Hospital Mãe de Deus, in Porto Alegre. For this purpose, it was made a qualitative evaluation of the studied project, describing, understanding and interpreting facts and phenomena through the method of action research, to associate the social research with the collaborative and participatory action. The research task was constituted of two fronts of work and data collection: the first, scientific-technical, consisting of documentary research techniques and semistructured interviews, made a detailed search of data inherent to the practices and strategies of the institution directed to the problem of analyze, and collected perceptions of diverse actors, both internal and external to the hospital institution, on the studied phenomenon that had not been captured in the documentary analysis; and the second one, scientific-design based, acted in a practical way in the scene of the research, seeking an experiential approach of the ideal sense of creating value by innovation, through the use of capabilities inherent to the Strategic Design knowledge models. The results show that the Hospital Mãe de Deus presents a context where it is observed the open innovation in a practical way, allowing the entrance of external resources to generate value to its business, but still lacking processes which make such practice conscientious and that encourage the use of the tacit knowledge of the internal staff, allowing its dissemination beyond the medical-assistencial area. The results also indicate that the institution explores determining factors for the success of projects of development of new services, including the willingness of the leadership in searching new looks and external sources to contribute with unique solutions, stimulating favorably the management of the assistencial and economic models on which it is supported. The design of a new service conducted by strategic design found, in the exercise of the open innovation of this institution, a favorable environment so that its practices could be made compatible. Thus, the logic of making characteristic of strategic design and that gives form to the strategy elaborated by the company, is strengthened next to a situation of open innovation that makes room for a possible execution of the concepts and services projected.

Full textAbstract:
Cities are key locations where Sustainability needs to be addressed at all levels, as land is a finite resource. However, not all urban spaces are exploited at best, and land developers often evaluate unused, misused, or poorly-designed urban portions as impracticable constraints. Further, public authorities lose the challenge to enable and turn these urban spaces into valuable opportunities where Sustainable Urban Development may flourish.
Arguing that these spatial elements are at the centre of SUD, the paper elaborates a prototype in the form of a conceptual strategic planning framework, committed to an effective recycling of the city spaces using a flexible and multidisciplinary approach.
Firstly, the research focuses upon a broad review of Sustainability literature, highlighting established principles and guidelines, building a sound theoretical base for the new concept. Hence, it investigates origins, identifies and congruently suggests a definition, characterisation and classification for urban “R-Spaces”.
Secondly, formal, informal and temporary fitting functions are analysed and inserted into a portfolio meant to enhance adaptability and enlarge the choices for the on-site interventions. Thirdly, the study outlines ideal quality requirements for a sustainable planning process. Then, findings are condensed in the proposal, which is articulated in the individuation of tools, actors, plans, processes and strategies.
Afterwards, the prototype is tested upon case studies: Solar Community (Casalecchio di Reno, Bologna) and Hyllie Sustainable City Project, the latter developed via an international workshop (ACSI-Camp, Malmö, Sweden). Besides, the qualitative results suggest, inter alia, the need to right-size spatial interventions, separate structural and operative actors, involve synergies’ multipliers and intermediaries (e.g. entrepreneurial HUBs, innovation agencies, cluster organisations…), maintain stakeholders’ diversity and create a circular process open for new participants.
Finally, the paper speculates upon a transfer of the Swedish case study to Italy, and then indicates desirable future researches to favour the prototype implementation.

This paper explores how companies use platform strategies to innovate and what platform strategies should companies adopt in different situations. Today many of successful companies utilized platform model to innovate, although some studies have shown the importance of innovation platform, there is a lack of studies investigating how to use different platform strategies to innovate. This paper attempts to address that gap by comparing several open innovation platforms. The findings indicate that open innovation platforms are significant mechanisms for facilitating and coordinating co-creation of innovation, managers need to need to understand the company''s position in the current market in order to choose the right open innovation platform strategy and consider the challenges they might face.

Abstract Innovation is the most important policy for enterprise to sustain. In the globalization and knowledge-based economy era, Innovation methodologies should be upgraded also. Therefore, Open Innovation then emerges as a new way for enterprise innovation. The policy of new product development is always considered critical to leverage enterprise innovation. The speed of market evolvement often leads to shorter life cycle of products, and then causes tremendous waste of cost and time. As a result, a sound fuzzy front end strategy could be treated as a core of success for enterprise to sustain. The gist of this research is under the consideration of System Thinking to evaluate, whether Open Innovation strategies can shorten new product development time and decrease the market uncertainty. The Causal Feedback loop Diagram will be also constructed eventually, in order to represent the whole picture of the proposed methodology. Through the diagrams, the decision maker can figure out obviously how to leverage their product development strategies while launching Open Innovation.

The patent mapping is a patent analysis method which derives patent functionality and technology related statistical information and demonstrate such information in a matrix. Competence set expansion technique can serve a very dominant role in new product development. Technology or resource can be developed and further, Therefore, this study aims to define an analytic framework to derive the technology trend or competitive information at first based on a patent map being derived based on patent search results. Then, the gaps between the state of the art of the technology versus the aspired level as well as the factors for evaluation the technologies, In general, the research process can be summarized as follows: (1) patent map construction based on patent search results, (2) derivation of the current level of the patent versus the aspired level, (3) criteria definitions for competence prioritization, (4) derivations of influence relationships between criteria by using the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL), (5) derivations of weights versus each criteria by using the DEMATEL based network process (DN)), The well-verified analytic framework can use for competence set expansions and corresponding open innovation strategy definitions.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation theoretically develops and empirically tests a model of interactive firm engagement with an open source software community. An inductive pilot study and subsequent interview analysis suggest that the nature of the relationship between a firm and an open source community varies in the degree by which a firm both "takes from" and "gives to" the community. I propose that a firm will experience direct effects from both giving to and taking from the community, and further propose that the interaction of these two behaviors, which I call interactive engagement, will lead to three firm-level consequences: an increase in the number of new products, higher levels of incremental (as opposed to radical) innovation, and shortened development and debug time. I test these hypotheses using regression analysis of questionnaire responses collected from 250 organizations that work with a popular open source software community.text

Entrepreneurship involves identifying and exploiting entrepreneurial opportunities. And there is a strong interrelationship between innovation and corporate entrepreneurship. But how does innovation influence corporate strategy on corporate entrepreneurship via management mindset? How does dominant logic of management team identify open innovation? Our research, thus, is an integration of entrepreneur, dominant logic, and open innovation. First of all, we review literatures of distinctive theories, trying to under the theories about entrepreneurship, open innovation and dominant logic. By qualitative study and case study, we try to discover the process among them. In this study, we observe that the process has three phases, which are entrepreneurship, replication, and value innovation. From the first stage success, through dominant logic formation to corporate venturing, we found out open innovation could facilitate firm to clarify its value proposition. Moreover, considering dominant logic as filter for open innovation, the company could grow rapidly from corporate venture based on clear-cut value proposition.

The concept of medical tourism is an extension of tourism commodities. For medical development, it is not only from “non-profit” to “industry” but also the reposition from “localization” to “internationalization”. Basically, the important connotation of transformation is that the unstable international economic, the coming of aging and the form of global village concept. At the same time, the emerging medical service in developing countries with high quality and low cost is rising. After 20 years of effort, those countries showed a good grade, and even become the key industry in their country in this field. These successful samples bring more new entrants to competition. However, how to enter this market for entrants? This is what Taiwan cosmetic industry face. All the policies in Taiwan support the hospital with JCI, and nothing in clinics. According to Department of Accounting and Financial Report, the employee in clinic create the income triple than in hospital. Obvious, the economic power in clinic cannot be neglected. Today''s competition, not competition between products, but competition between business models (Drukcer，1995). With the technology advance, innovation business model is the key point from general business to world-class enterprise (Morris，2007). Based on it, this study is to investigate the driving forces of cosmetic medicine in Taiwan and refer those countries with successful promoting experience. This research uses Open Innovation Business Model Strategy as an analysis tool in Taiwan medical cosmetic clinics.
