Resumen

The concept of open innovation has received increased attention among practitioners as well as in academia in recent years. It provides a conceptual platform for understanding how external sources of knowledge drive internal growth. In addition, it also addresses the internal configurations needed for managing a more externally oriented innovation process. However, many firms still experience major managerial challenges in trying to adopt the principles of open innovation. The perhaps most important challenge in realizing the potential benefits of open innovation lies in modifying existing innovation activities and processes to incorporate the principles of open innovation, rather than creating something completely new. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to study the problems and opportunities arising when firms attempt to integrate open innovation activities within their development processes. Empirically, the results are based on three exploratory case studies within the process industries. In total, this thesis is based on 73 interviews from 2 process firms and 9 equipment suppliers to the process industries. Data was gathered in several different countries, and collectively these firms represent perspectives from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Germany, The Netherlands and The United Kingdom.Three papers are appended with the thesis. Paper I studies the overall challenges of integrating open innovation activities within an existing product development process. The key contribution is the enactment of a practitioner-oriented work model, named the open Stage-Gate model, which exploits the advantages of "openness" while simultaneously capturing the benefits deriving from the systematic and structured approach implied by the Stage-Gate process. Paper II studies a concrete application of open innovation by focusing on the development and installation of new or upgraded process equipment in process plants where collaborative efforts by a process firm and various suppliers of process equipment often are required. The analysis focuses on problems and opportunities in different stages of the equipments lifecycle and finds that the content and the intensity of the collaboration should be tailored to the different stages of the equipment's lifecycle. As such, the conclusions highlight the fact that being totally open in development activities is not always the most suitable option. Instead, different degrees of "openness" may be suitable at different stages. Paper III studies collaboration in the later operational stages of a process equipments lifecycle, from an equipment supplier perspective. The results presented in this paper underscore the importance of collaboration in the operational stages as these stages are critical to facilitate technology transfer and production performance.

Resumen

This thesis amends some existing theoretical gaps and an overall lack of empirical studies regarding the ways R&D managers can use Open Innovation during the management of the radical innovation processes’ early development phase.Using existing theories, an interview guide and an analytical model was created. These were later used during the gathering and analysis of empirical data. Our sampling involves three of Sweden’s largest companies, representing three distinct industry fields. Interviews took place during April 2010, and all the interviewees were R&D managers with previous experience with Open Innovation and radical innovation.The results reveal that the managers do use Open Innovation when managing radical innovation, and point to both benefits and issues brought about by using Open Innovation during this process. The use of Open Innovation during the management of radical innovation can be divided into two main aspects; the actual extent to which it is used, and the ways the managers use it. Our results reveal that the extent varies from an early peak, an in between Open Innovation chasm and a final increase. Furthermore, our studies also show that the main ways the managers use OI are; exploitation and creation of revenue streams, knowledge leveraging and integration, and finally to create superior products using broad knowledge networks.

Resumen

Background: The term Open Innovation describes a phenomenon where organizations are no longer solely relying on internal R&D to innovate technologies that they then would bring to market. Instead, firms are looking outside for ideas or working with other organizations to develop technologies in order to capitalize on efficiencies of existing knowledge, reduce investment risks and increase speed to market. We identified a need to analyze the existing open innovation adoption frameworks in order to track similarities and differences so that we could create a new framework which is more comprehensive. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to create a framework for the analysis of the open innovation adoption process which is based on organizational change and other relevant streams of research. In order to do this we were to find answers to the following research questions: 1) How can organizational change theory be used to analyze the movement from a closed to open innovation strategy? 2) In addition to organizational change theory, which research streams should be considered when analyzing the open innovation adoption process? 3) To what extent does our new framework provide an adequate foundation for analyzing the open innovation adoption process at SCA Hygiene Products? Results: Our new framework is meant for the analysis of open innovation adoption process. The framework helps researchers to analyze how different organizations have adopted open innovation based on the four research streams that we have analyzed. Our framework includes aspects of organizational change theory, knowledge management, networks and managerial roles. Key Words: open innovation adoption, organizational change, knowledge management, networks, SCA

Resumen

Open Innovation är ett relativt nytt arbetssätt som innebär att organisationer tar in extern kunskap med syftet att utveckla interna processer och vidga den egna kompetensen. Studien utgår ifrån ett kvalitativt perspektiv där relevanta teorier hämtats ifrån tryckt litteratur, vetenskapliga artiklar samt empiri som består av en omvärldsanalys samt intervjustudie med ett antal individer med varierande kunskap inom områdena; Open Innovation samt medborgardialog kopplat till offentlig förvaltning. Det framkom i studien att faktorer som transparens, verktyg samt process är viktiga byggstenar i en Open Innovation-process. Utifrån studien har författarna tagit fram en metod som skall synliggöra hur de olika områdena samverkar med varandra och vilka verktyg som kan tillämpas i processen (se nedan). Författarna fann genom studien att hanteringen utav de idéer och förslag som hämtas från Open Innovation-processer är den viktigaste delen i processen. Utan en bra hantering utav förslagen tappar Open Innovation-processen sitt värde och förtroendet för förhållningssättet tappas.

Innovation has become a more complex and dynamic phenomenon with the shift from the industry-based innovation paradigm, where the stress was put on product and process innovation for business, to a knowledge-based paradigm, where it can take many different shapes. Moreover, knowledge and expertise are no longer considered as being the monopoly of the R&D department of the firm. This brought some changes in innovation practices, that became more open and led firms to increasingly interact with their environment. In another concern, technological innovation, that is meant to bring value to the firm, has proved its limits for solving social problems like global warming, that are becoming more pressing. Of course, new technology has the capacity of improving people’s living standards, but is not sufficient. This is where some other kind of innovation, driven by the maximisation of its positive impact intervenes: social innovation. These two paradigms for innovation, more suitable than older ones to today’s challenges, have some convergence points regarding their integration within an outside environment: society and other innovation actors. However, little has been written concerning the links and interactions between these two innovation models. This research studies the integration of these two models through an exploratory study, during which 11 social organisation leaders were submitted to in-depth interviews. Social initiatives seem to be more likely to attract outside parties to cooperate with them, as they appear as selfless, unlike private initiatives. They seem to integrate these people and look for extra help, especially when scaling up. Even if some organisations see the institutionalisation of open innovation as a priority, others see it as secondary, or simply do not know how to do it. This results in a rather informal collaboration, that is not focused on research and development, a practice that nearly none of the firms in the sample had.
Inovação tem se tornado um fenômeno cada vez mais complexo e dinâmico, com a mudança de um paradigma focado na inovação industrial, onde a inovação acontecia no produto ou no processo de fabricação, para outro baseado no conhecimento, muito mais amplo. Além disso, o conhecimento e a competência técnica não são mais considerados como um monopólio do departamento de pesquisa e desenvolvimento. Isto trouxe mudanças nas práticas de inovação, que se tornaram mais abertas e levaram as empresas a interagir cada vez mais com o seu ambiente. Por outro lado, a inovação tecnológica, cujo primeiro objetivo é de criar valor para a empresa, tem experimentado alguns limites para resolver problemas sociais, como o aquecimento global. As novas tecnologias têm a capacidade de melhorar a qualidade de vida de muita gente, mas não é suficiente. É nesse contexto que surge outro tipo de inovação, cujo objetivo é de maximizar o impacto positivo na sociedade: a inovação social. Estes dois paradigmas de inovação, mais adequados aos desafios atuais, têm alguns pontos em comum na sua integração com o ambiente externo: a sociedade e outros atores da inovação. No entanto, praticamente não existem estudos integrando inovação aberta e inovação social. Este trabalho estuda a integração destes dois modelos a partir de uma pesquisa exploratória, realizando entrevistas em profundidade com 11 dirigentes de organizações sociais. As iniciativas sociais parecem atrair mais organizações externas para colaborar do que empresas com fins lucrativos, já que são mais altruístas. Parecem integrar essas pessoas e procurar por mais ajuda, especialmente no momento de escalar o negócio. Ainda que algumas organizações têm como prioridade institucionalizar a inovação aberta, outras veem isto como secundário ou simplesmente não sabem como fazer. Isto resulta em uma colaboração mais informal, que não é focada em atividades de pesquisa e desenvolvimento, prática ausente nas empresas da nossa amostra.

Resumen

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.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Companies are under constant pressure to stay competitive in order to survive in an ever changing market. It is important for companies to stay ahead of the market and to ensure that any window of opportunity is exploited with maximum benefit to the company. Innovation is regarded as a tool that provides companies with a competitive advantage and that ensures sustainability and success. Organisations need to enhance their innovative capabilities to ensure growth and sustainability. Knowledge can be seen as the building blocks of innovation. Innovation and knowledge management are, therefore, tightly linked. Knowledge generation can be very costly and is sometimes found to be limited in organisations. When internal knowledge is insufficient in an organisation, external knowledge can be utilized by means of innovation networks between different organisations which share common goals. By knowledge being shared between organisations, not only will each organisation benefit individually, but it will also help the partners and strategic alliances to evolve and grow in stature. Required knowledge can be generated internally and can also be extracted from different organisations by means of open innovation. Open innovation sets the scene for knowledge to flow across organisational boundaries and enlarges the creative knowledge capacity and knowledge pool. The flow of knowledge should be governed by knowledge management. The research in this study bridges the gap between the previous innovation models and the notion of an open approach to internal innovation, which improves the speed and effectiveness of the innovation process. The fundamentals of innovation had been investigated, where after the focus moved to understanding a specific and existing innovation process framework, named the FuGle Innovation Process Model. The tracking of knowledge in Open Innovation Models assigned to the FuGle Innovation Process Model, leads to the proposed change of converting Innovation role players to function in an Open Innovation paradigm. By understanding the responsibilities of the role players and the intricacies of controlling the flow of different types of knowledge between interlinked companies, will provide an organisation with the opportunity to deploy an Open Innovation approach at appropriate points within their different processes. This will assist the organisation to stay competitive in an ever fluctuating market.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Maatskappye is onder konstante druk om kompeterend te wees en om te verseker dat hulle in ‘n veranderende omgewing kan oorleef. Innovasie word beskou as ‘n hulpmiddel en instrument wat maatskappye kan voorsien van ‘n kompeterende voordeel wat volgehoue sukses kan verseker. Maatskappye behoort hulle innoverende vermoëns uit te bou om groei en volhoubaarheid te verseker. Kennis kan gesien word as die boustene van innovering. Innovasie en kennisbestuur is dus stewig met mekaar verbind. Die verkryging van kennis kan organisasies duur te staan kom en daarom is kennis binne organisasies somtyds beperk. Wanneer interne kennis in ‘n organisasie beperk is, kan van ‘n innoverende netwerk gebruik gemaak word om eksterne kennis tussen verskillende organisies wat na diesefde doel streef met mekaar te deel. Dit kan gesien word as innoverend om kennis tussen organiasies te deel. Wanneer kennis tussen organisasies gedeel word, sal nie alleenlik die enkele organisasie daarby baatvind nie, maar ook die ander organisasie en selfs vennote en alliansies van die organisasie sal ontwikkel en in statuur groei. Noodsaaklike kennis kan intern verkry word en kan ook deur middel van verskillende organisasies deur die proses van Oop Innovasie verkry word. Oop Innovasie dek die tafel vir die vloei van kennis oor organisatoriese grense heen wat die kreatiewe kenniskapasiteit en die kennispoel vergroot. Die navorsing in die studie oorbrug die gaping tussen die vorige innovasie modelle en die gedagte van ‘n oop benadering tot interne innovasie wat die spoed en effektiwiteit van die innovasieproses sal verbeter. Die grondslag van innovasie is eers ondersoek, waarna die fokus verskuif het na die begrip van ‘n spesifieke innovasie proses, naamlik die FuGle Innovasie Proses Model. Die navolging van die vloei van kennis in die Oop Innovasie Modelle wat toegedig is aan die FuGle Innovasie Proses Model, het gelei tot die voorgestelse verandering om die rolle van die innovasie rolspelers te verander sodat hulle beter kan funksioneer binne ‘n Oop Innovasie paradigma. n’ Begrip van die verantwoordelikhede van , rolspelers en die ingewikkelde kontrole oor die vloei van kennis tussen die organisasies, verskaf aan die organisasie die geleentheid om ‘n Oop Innovasie benadering op gepaste punte binne die onderskeie prosesse binne die organisasie te ontplooi. Hierdie stap sal die organisasie behulpsaam wees om kompeterend te bly binne ‘n veranderende mark.

Resumen

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.

Resumen

Alors que les avantages de l'innovation ouverte ont été largement soulignés dans la littérature, le recours à des intermédiaires pour innover nécessite encore de la clarté dans les articles académiques et dans la pratique. Nous avons donc passé en revue les différentes formes d'intermédiaires. Les ‘broker’, agents intermédiaire, permettent la connexion entre deux partiesdistinctes, l’entreprise initiatrice du challenge et les innovateurs. Impliquer le ‘broker’ dans les processus d'innovation ouverte peut être une stratégie efficace à mettre en place afin d'améliorer la capacité d'absorption de l’entreprise en déjouant les collaborations inadéquates et chronophages (Brown, 1991). Au centre de cette collaboration, le ‘broker’ est l'intermédiaire etl'acteur central permettant la connexion entre ces deux acteurs. Cette thèse met en avant la façon dont l’entreprise orchestre son ouverture à des innovateurs externes. Nous expliquons comment est géré le processus du point de vue de l’entreprise initiatrice à travers une étude de cas de l’entreprise Electrolux, son département d'innovation ouvert très avancé. Nous avons également souligné l’importance du ‘broker’ au travers de notre deuxième étude sur la conception et le contenu des plateformes d'innovation. Notre objectif final était d'expliquer clairement comment ensemble ces deux premiers acteurs peuvent assurer une innovation réussie en se concentrant sur les facteurs qui garantissent la qualité des contributions des innovateurs. Nous avons adopté une approche qualitative, nous avons analysé les données partagées par Electrolux (seeker) et ces ‘broker’. Nous avons également analysé les expériences d'innovation ouverte des acteurs en réalisant des entretiens semi-structurés. La thèse a mis en lumière plusieurs questions non étudiées ou que partiellement et nous apportons des réponses sur la façon dont les entreprises peuvent gérer leur ouverture, comment les ‘broker’ devraient concevoir leurs plateformes pourrépondre aux attentes des utilisateurs (initiateur et innovateur). Ainsi que la façon dont les initiateurs de challenge et les ‘broker’ peuvent mener ensemble des challenges d'innovation ouvertes réussis impliquant des innovateurs du monde entier. Nos résultats ont mis en évidence plusieurs lignes directrices pour les acteurs de l'écosystème de l'innovation ouverte impliquant un ‘broker’. Cependant, des études quantitatives seraient nécessaires pour mesurer quantitativement le succès de cette approche étudiée
While open innovation advantages has been widely emphasized in the literature. Intermediation under its different forms still requires clarity in academic articles and in practice. We therefore reviewed the different forms of intermediation and we attempt to advance the uncovered field of the brokering form. Brokers act as bridge between two sided parties involved, seeker and solver. Involving broker in open innovation processes can be an effective strategy to put in place in order to enhance absorptive capacity by lowering inadequate and time consuming collaborations (Brown 1991). In the literature, actors initiator of the open challenges are called – seeker, and participants to the open innovation contest are called - solvers. In the middle, brokers are the intermediary and central actor connecting them together. They manage and provide appropriate network from same or different domain of application than the seeker firm. We aim to shed light on how seeker orchestrate or may orchestrate his openness. We explain the management of the process in the seekers’ side through a case study on Electrolux, well-advanced open innovation department. We also highlighted the brokers integration by fully concentrating our study on their innovation platforms design and content. Our final objective was to clearly explain how both seeker and broker may together ensure successful innovation focusing on factors that may ensure quality of the solver’s contributions. Our approach was totally qualitative, we analyze data available from Electrolux (seeker) and brokers. We also interpret participant’s experiences of open innovation with brokers by conducting semi-structured interviews. Our thesis shed light on several uncovered or partially covered questions. We bring answers on how seekers may manage their openness, how brokers should design their platforms to meet users (seeker and solver) attempts. As well as how seeker and broker together may conduct successful open innovation contests involving solvers worldwide. Our findings highlighted several guidelines for the actors of the brokering innovation ecosystem, however, quantitative studies are required to measure quantitatively the success of this approach

Resumen

Vorliegender Leitfaden ist eines der Ergebnisse des Forschungsprojekts „Open Innovation in Life Sciences“ (OIL), das von Mai 2008 bis April 2011 an der Universität Potsdam durchgeführt wurde. Er nimmt für sich in Anspruch, gerade Innovationsmanager in kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen (KMU) der Pharmaindustrie bei der Einführung des Open Innovation Managements zu unterstützen. Zielsetzung des Forschungsprojekts war es, (1) die Chancen und Risiken von Open Innovation unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Anforderungen von Pharma-KMU zu analysieren und (2) daraus abgeleitet ein Konzept zur Implementierung von Open Innovation bei Pharma-KMU zu entwickeln. Der Ausgangspunkt des Projektes war die Erkenntnis, dass die Life Sciences-Branche im Allgemeinen und die Pharmaindustrie im Besonderen durch eine steigende Komplexität der Innovationsprozesse und eine zunehmende Tendenz zu Kooperationen gekennzeichnet ist. Vor diesem Hintergrund eröffnet gerade der Open Innovation-Ansatz für die Pharmabranche neue Gestaltungs- und damit Wachstumsmöglichkeiten. Open Innovation – definiert als die planvolle Öffnung der Innovationsprozesse und die strategische Einbindung des Unternehmensumfelds – wird dabei als zentraler Erfolgsfaktor für die Innovationsfähigkeit beschrieben.
The job title of innovation manager is a comparatively new phenomenon in innovation management. The field of responsibility spans the entire innovation process, from fundamental research, development and production, until the market launch. The competencies include technology, product, service and market orientation, and an innovation manager should have skills in both the strategic as well as the operational sphere. They direct the innovation process, cultivate both internal and external contacts and organise the communication of all persons involved. It is self-evident that these tasks – particularly in the pharmaceutical industry with its complex and long-term processes – present a considerable challenge for every innovation manager. With this in view, the following guidelines are directed primarily at innovation managers in medium sized pharmaceutical companies. The guidelines convey the knowledge and tools that enable the development of market and customer oriented products and services in the pharmaceutical industry from the very start. By means of images and descriptions it demonstrates which steps should be followed from idea generation, to project realization, until the market launch. The centerpiece is formed by the division of the innovation process into manageable, clearly defined phases, specifically tailored for the pharmaceutical industry. The guidelines particularly focus on the question of how customers, suppliers, competitors, etc. can be integrated into this process. This approach – termed open innovation in innovation management – when applied as a deliberate strategy, has the potential to reduce the costs of development and to raise the speed of passage of projects.

Resumen

Si l’Open Innovation a fait l’objet de nombreux travaux soulignant la pertinence de ce modèle pour la recherche et la pratique, nous disposons d’une compréhension limitée de ce que signifie l’ouverture, des différentes formes qu’elle peut prendre et des processus de sa mise en œuvre, en particulier les processus inside-out et couplé.La présente recherche doctorale, située à l’intersection des recherches sur le management stratégique des brevets et celles sur le modèle de l’Open Innovation, est dédiée à l’étude des pratiques de licensing, considéré comme le principal mécanisme d’ouverture. Elle est menée sous la forme d’une thèse sur travaux consacrés aux logiques stratégiques et aux capacités organisationnelles du licensing dans les deux processus inside-out et couplé. Ces travaux mobilisent différentes perspectives théoriques (capacités organisationnelles, coopétition, écosystème) et s’appuient sur un design qualitatif pour répondre individuellement à des questions spécifiques dérivées d’une problématique générale. L’analyse transversale et la mise en perspective des résultats de ces travaux permettent de combler les limites des travaux existants et d’enrichir la littérature sur le modèle de l’Open Innovation. Plus précisément, les résultats permettent de: a) clarifier la notion d’ouverture, b) dépasser la conception dyadique et collaborative de l’Open Innovation, b) mettre en évidence de nouvelles logiques stratégiques du licensing dans les processus inside-out et couplé et c) de comprendre les modes d’interactions et dynamiques sous-jacentes aux capacités d’absorption et de désorption, ainsi que l’origine de cette dernière
While much research defend the relevance of the Open Innovation model for both research and practice, we know surprisingly little about the meaning of openness, the various forms it can take and its implementation processes, in particular the two processes known as ‘inside-out’ and ‘coupled’. This dissertation aims to fill these gaps through four essays. It binds researches on patent strategic management with those on the Open Innovation Model and analyzes the practices of licensing viewed as the main mechanism of openness. The essays address the strategic motivations and organizational capacities of licensing in the inside-out and coupled processes. They draw on various theoretical perspectives (ecosystem, coopetition, organizational capacities) and use a qualitative design to individually tackle specific issues derived from the general problematic. The transversal analysis of the results of these essays fills the gaps of existing works and contributes to the literature on Open Innovation model. More precisely, the results clarify the meaning of openness; overtake the dyadic and collaborative view of open innovation; highlight new strategic logics of licensing in the inside-out and coupled processes; and improve the understanding of desorptive capacity by disentangling its microfoundations and origin as well as its articulation with absorptive capacity

Resumen

La innovació, que ha estat durant molt de temps el resultat, a vegades heroic, de la tasca d'un emprenedor solitari, està esdevenint progressivament una tasca col·lectiva que troba una descripció més acurada quan es presenta com el resultat d'un procés complex amb múltiples actors.
Aquesta tesi vol explorar aquest aspecte col·lectiu de la innovació, tot aprofundint en dues línies de recerca. Una, que utilitza el modelatge basat en agents per a la creació de model teòrics. L'altre, que es basa en l'ús de l'anàlisi qualitatiu per a esbrinar algunes de les claus d'unes organitzacions ‐els Living Labs ‐ que cerquen involucrar els usuaris en el procés d'innovació.
Ara bé, malgrat presentem la innovació com un procés obert, aquesta entesa com un procés tancat sembla també tenir èxit. De fet, tant els telèfons mòbils molt simples o molt complexos, semblen seguir aquest enfocament. En quines condicions el procés d'innovació es beneficia de ser un procés obert i quan és possible obtenir millors resultats retenint el control de la totalitat del procés, és la nostra primera pregunta de recerca.
D'altra banda, aquest procés de col·laboració, característic d'un enfocament obert, és considerat normalment a un nivell micro com el resultat de la interacció diàdica entre agents. Existeix però, un altre nivell, un nivell macro que ve caracteritzat per la funció d'institucions com les Escoles de Negocis, que juguen un paper important en destil·lar les millors pràctiques i crear hipòtesis a partir d'elles que si es revelen exitoses seran adoptades per la totalitat dels agents.
La comprensió del funcionament d'aquest procés, del nombre de casos que cal considerar i de quan extensius han de ser, entendre fins a quin punt les empreses poden confiar en l'assessorament de les Escoles de Negoci i quan es necessari aventurar‐se en l'exploració de noves possibilitats, és també quelcom necessari per a caracteritzar la innovació com un procés col·lectiu.
Malauradament, la nostra comprensió dels mecanismes col·laboratius és encara escassa. Sabem però, que la innovació ja no és quelcom exclusiu dels laboratoris d'I+D o d'organitzacions capdavanteres, sinó que els usuaris juguen no solament un paper rellevant sinó que són percebuts com a actors amb un gran potencial. Els Living Labs és una de les tentatives per proporcionar estructura i governança a la involucració dels usuaris en el procés d'innovació. En aquest aspecte, examinarem quina és la contribució d'aquests usuaris i com els Living Labs busquen capturar‐ne el seu coneixement i aplicar‐lo i quant tenen èxit en aquest procés.
La innovación, que se ha presentado muchas veces como el resultado de un proceso, muchas veces heroico, de emprendedores excepcionales, se está convirtiendo de una forma progresiva en un proceso colectivo que se describe con más acierto cuando se presenta como el resultado de un proceso complejo con multitud de actores.
Esta tesis, pretende explorar este aspecto colectivo del proceso de innovación, profundizando en dos líneas de investigación. Una que utiliza el modelado basado en agentes para la construcción de modelos teóricos. Otra que se basa en el análisis cualitativo para profundizar en las claves de unas organizaciones ¬los Living Labs ‐ que buscan involucrar a los usuarios en los procesos de innovación.
Ahora bien, a pesar de que la innovación se presente como un proceso abierto, ésta entendida como un proceso cerrado, parece también tener éxito. De hecho, los teléfonos móviles muy simples o muy complejos, parecen seguir este enfoque. En qué condiciones el proceso de innovación se beneficia de ser un proceso abierto y cuando es posible obtener mejores resultados reteniendo el control de la totalidad del proceso, es nuestra primera pregunta de investigación.
Por otro lado, este proceso de colaboración, característico de un enfoque abierto, es considerado normalmente a un nivel micro, como el resultado de la interacción diádica entre agentes. Existe pero, otro nivel, un nivel macro, caracterizado por la función de instituciones como las Escuelas de Negocios, que juegan un papel importante destilando las mejores prácticas y creando hipótesis a partir de ellas que si se revelan exitosas serán masivamente adoptadas.
La comprensión del funcionamiento de este proceso, del número de casos a considerar y de su extensión, comprender hasta qué punto las empresas pueden confiar en el asesoramiento de las Escuelas de Negocios y cuando es necesario aventurarse en un proceso de exploración de nuevas posibilidades, es también algo imprescindible para caracterizar la innovación como un proceso colectivo.
Desgraciadamente nuestra comprensión de los mecanismos colaborativos en la innovación es aún escasa. Sin embargo sabemos que la innovación ya no es algo exclusivo de los laboratorios de I+D o de grandes empresas, los usuarios juegan no sólo un papel relevante sino que son percibidos como actores con un alto potencial. Los Living Labs es una de las tentativas que buscan proporcionar estructura y gobierno a la involucración de los usuarios en el proceso de innovación. En este aspecto, examinaremos cuál es la contribución de los usuarios, cómo los Living Labs buscan capturar su conocimiento y aplicarlo y cuando tienen éxito en su intento.
Innovation, which used to be the result of a single, sometimes heroic, entrepreneur, is progressively turning into a collaborative endeavor, better described as the result of a complex process with multiple actors.
This thesis aims to explore this collaborative aspect of innovation by digging into two strands of research. One uses Agent‐Based Modeling to create theoretical models, where the other one uses qualitative analysis to devise some insights from organizations ‐Living Labs ‐that aim to involve users in innovation.
In addition to understanding innovation as an open process, a closed one seems sometimes to be equally successful. In fact, very simple and very complex mobile phones seem to follow this later approach. Under what conditions innovation benefits from being open and when better results can be obtained from retaining control of the whole process is our first research question.
This process of collaboration, characteristic of the open approach, is normally considered at a micro level, as a result of a dyadic interaction between agents. Nevertheless, there is a macro level characterized by institutions, such as Business Schools, that play an important role in uncovering Best Practices and building hypothesis that, if successful, will be adopted by the agents.
Understanding how this process works; how many cases should be collected and how comprehensive they should be; how much companies can rely on the insights of Business Schools; and when it is necessary to engage in exploration, is also necessary when characterizing innovation as a collective process.
The mechanisms of collaboration are, however, not all well‐understood. Innovation is no longer in the solely hands of R&D laboratories or even organizations, users play an increasingly significant role and are being perceived as holding vast potential. Living Labs is one attempt to provide structure and governance to user involvement in innovation. Here, we will examine what is the contribution of users, how Living Labs aim to capture relevant knowledge and apply it, and when and how this proves successful.

Resumen

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.

Resumen

Start-ups face several issues and challenges in the course of their development as a compa-ny. Open innovation has been discussed in research for more than a decade as a concept, which can bring benefits to a company. Even though most of the research has been focus-ing on large enterprises, some researchers discuss also benefits for small companies like start-ups. Nevertheless, it can be observed that some start-ups decide to adopt the opposite of open innovation, namely closed innovation, through not sharing internal knowledge to the outside world. Hence, start-ups perceive the benefits of open innovation differently and decide accordingly whether to adopt open innovation or not. The purpose of this study is to explore if start-ups decide to actually do the former and what reasons they have to do so. Therefore, this study will further discover at what point in the development of their start-up and with whom they adopt open innovation. As an attractive industry for start-ups, the mobile services industry is selected as a scope for this study. Furthermore, Sweden is selected as the country of study, due to its reputation as one of the most innova-tive countries in the world. A qualitative study has been conducted using in-depth interviews with founders and co-founders of start-ups to retrieve narrative stories about their start-up’s development from the first day of an idea to a scalable business, and their experiences and motivations in re-gards to the application of open innovation practices. The analysis of this study detects pat-terns among the interviewed start-ups and concludes that start-ups in the mobile services industry in Sweden adopt open innovation in each phase of their development process. Furthermore, these patterns include several reasons why the start-ups applied open innova-tion practices and with whom, which are changing over the course of their development.

Resumen

Background: Most of the existing literature regarding innovation and innovation strategies focus on high-tech industries. In contrast low- and medium-technology industries are receiving very little attention despite the category is making up the largest part of the manufacturing industries in OECD countries. The phenomenon could be the result of misconceptions regarding innovation process in low- medium-tech industries and existing pre-eminence of linear model of innovation. Investigating the realities of innovation strategies in the low- and medium technology industries would help crystallise the understanding of innovation strategies within low- and medium technology industries uncovering key factors for innovation under the industry category. Research question: How do organisations under low- and medium-technology industry category innovate and what is the impact the chosen innovation strategy or a combination of innovation strategies have on the organisation? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand which innovation strategies (open, closed, exploitative, explorative or a combination of these strategies) organisations under low- and medium technology industry implement and how such innovation strategies impact the organisation. The aim of the study is to crystallise the understanding in how LMTs innovate, which innovation strategies they select and what influences the selection of innovation strategy. Method: Abductive research approach is used for the study. Qualitative research method is a primary source of data gathered from 8 organisations operating under low- and medium- technology industry category. The data was gathered via semi-structured interviews with C- level executives and management responsible for innovation initiatives. Theoretical framework: The literature will present knowledge based view and outline the link between knowledge and open, closed, exploitative and explorative innovation strategies. Findings & conclusion: Ability to identify relevant knowledge and assimilate it drove innovation within the LMTs assessed. Innovation strategies were selected based on understanding of additional information requirements and market environment in their respective markets. Various combinations of innovation strategies were used at the assessed organisations. Some of the assessed organisations used more open or more closed innovation strategies based on business circumstances. Open innovation strategies enabled fast knowledge accumulation and problem solution discovery. Organisational cultures influence the choice of innovation strategies. Peoples’ knowledge drives performance.

Resumen

Title - Designing Future Sustainable Cities through a Living Labs Approach – A Case study of “Väsby Labs” Purpose - The purpose of this study is to analyze the contributions of the Living Labs research and innovation methodology to the planning process of designing future sustainable cities as well as its main shortcomings. Additionally, this study intends to provide possible solutions to improve the model in the future. The Living Labs model focuses on creating platforms for communication, innovation and long term development by inviting different stakeholders to an open planning process before public places are defined, houses built and schools developed. Interaction between developers, inhabitants, social services, and political and financial systems is the key element of this model. Research questions - What are the main contributions of the Living Labs Model to the process of designing future sustainable cities and which are its main limitations? How can these limitations be addressed to improve the process in the future? Methodology - Qualitative research consisting of a literature review and an empirical case study based on semi-structured interviews with key individuals as well as secondary data gathered from the web and from participating in workshops and exhibitions in the project’s site. Research limitations/implications – Due to time limitations this study is a mere analysis of a project being developed on a Swedish municipality and does not contemplate its final results, only the ones reached on the date of the current study. The language is also a limitation, due to some of the literature related to the case study, and the conferences and workshops being in Swedish. Originality/Value - This study is the first attempt to analyze the contribution of a methodology such as the Living Labs to the planning process of designing future sustainable cities.

Resumen

It is well documented that large manufacturing companies often draw on external knowledge and technology for process innovation. Yet, the management of knowledge and technology transfer at different stages of the innovation lifecycle has received very little scholarly attention. Previous studies in this domain only focus on buyer-supplier interaction for technology development. As a result, theory on open process innovation remains significantly underdeveloped regarding external contributions to aspects of process innovation other than technological change and by different types of external partners. This also entails a lack of discussion on openness (search breadth and depth) and the deployment of absorptive capabilities at the lifecycle stage level. The present thesis addresses these gaps through an exploratory, multiple case-study of five large manufacturing companies operating in different industries in Germany. The study develops a conceptual framework to identify key categories of inquiry and uses cross-case analysis to enable the development of four theoretical constructs that capture central mechanisms of open process innovation. Specifically, the study identifies different forms of external contributions to technological change involving different configurations of openness. The findings suggest that the motivation for interaction, the relevance of knowledge protection, and the availability of external information at any given stage determine a company’s openness and therefore which contribution it obtains at that stage. In this context the study identifies different patterns for the development of enabling and core processes. Furthermore, the thesis uncovers mechanisms of indirect external contributions to organizational change and systemic impact management, which are particularly relevant when external partners lack sufficient organizational insight or internal acceptance to provide direct contributions. By investigating a broader range of external partners than previous studies the thesis also emphasizes the importance of methodological guidance by management consultants during early stages of projects with a broad scope. Linking the findings to the literature on absorptive capacity the thesis argues that it is a central managerial task to dynamically adjust the practices underlying absorptive capabilities from conceptual process planning to practical adaptation and integration efforts in order to obtain external contributions to process development and implementation. By accounting for various determinants of process innovation and open innovation, as well as the deployment of absorptive capabilities at different lifecycle stages the constructs presented in this thesis enable a more granular perspective on open process innovation than previous literature has offered and lead to several recommendations for managerial practice.

Resumen

L'innovation est un processus complexe qui demande des techniques et des outils collaboratifs pour la gestion des connaissances et la communication, afin que les entreprises surmontent les défis d'une économie concurrentielle. Une nouvelle catégorie d’outils connus sous l’acronyme CAI (Computer Aided Innovation) émerge parmi l’éventail des technologies assistées par ordinateur afin de répondre aux demandes industrielles pour une plus grande fiabilité des nouveaux produits et procédés. L’objectif de ces outils (en cours de développement) est d’aider les concepteurs durant tout le processus d’innovation. Actuellement la mise en oeuvre d’un tel outil doit prendre en considération deux développements récents majeurs. Le premier est d’ordre technologique avec les possibilités offertes par le Web 2.0 dans le développement de logiciel. Le deuxième est plus stratégique avec un changement de vision de l’innovation passant de l’innovation fermée (interne à l’entreprise) à l’innovation ouverte (Open Innovation). Ces deux aspects conduisent à de nouvelles formes de CAI nommé Open CAI 2.0. Cette recherche propose une des briques d’un tel outil, pour assister les ingénieurs procédés à résoudre des problèmes innovants principalement dans la phase de conception préliminaire. Nous présentons la structure et la fonctionnalité d’un cadre de collaboration qui met en oeuvre une méthode développée basée sur le couplage entre la théorie TRIZ, et une technique de gestion des connaissances: le raisonnement à partir de cas (RàPC). Ce cadre est une extension du modèle TRIZ-RàPC validé dans le domaine du génie de procèdes. L’approche du processus de résolution est illustrée sur une étude de cas traitant de la gazéification de la biomasse
In economy nowadays, the act of innovation is in general social; it requires the management of knowledge, and the techniques and methodologies to drive it. Innovation is not the product of one isolated intelligence, instead, it is the result of a multi-disciplinary workgroup lead by a process or a methodology. The conceptual design, which is found in the first stages of the innovation process, represents one of the most important challenges in industry nowadays. One of the main challenges faced by chemical industries related to the conceptual design phase is to provide the means in the form of methods and computational tools, for solving problems systematically, at the same time that benefiting from the collective efforts of individual intelligences involved. Hence, the main objective of this work is to provide a solution to improve the creative capacity of a team involved in the innovation process, in particular the preliminary (critical) phase of conceptual design. Consequently, it is important to understand the techniques, methods and tools that best support the generation of novel ideas and creative solutions. In addition, it is necessary to study the contribution of information and communication technologies as the mean to support collaboration. Web technologies are considered as complementary tools to implement methods and techniques in collaborative design, and particularly in the conceptual design stage. These technologies allow setting up distributed collaborative environments to bring together the resources and the experts who can relate the existing pieces of knowledge to new contexts. It is the synergy created in this kind of environment, which allow producing valuable concepts and ideas in the form of Collective Intelligence. Nevertheless in most existing solutions for collective intelligence or crowdsourcing environments, they do not report the use of a particular methodology to improve the participants' creativity. The solution in this work describes a social network service that enables users to cooperatively solve problems oriented (but not limited) to the phase of conceptual design. In this work we propose that the use of Collective Intelligence in combination with the model TRIZ-CBR could lead the creative efforts in a team to develop innovative solutions. With this work we are looking for connecting experts from one particular field, TRIZ practitioners and stakeholders with the objective to solve problems in collaboration unlashing the collective intelligence to improve creativity. This work uses the basis of the concept named "Open CAI 2.0" to propose a solution in the form of a theoretical framework. The contributions seek to move the development of the field in Computer Aided Innovation a step forward

This research sought to understand how the product development process occurs with the disaggregation of geographic and proprietary scope. Comparisons were made between different theoretical references on the process of global innovation, open innovation and the relationship between them, to be applied in the three selected premium companies belonging to the Fashion Industry of Brazil, located in the city of São Paulo. For this, fifteen employees were interviewed, whose functions involve the development of collections of these companies. The research objectives were to propose a framework disaggregating the steps in the geographic and proprietary scopes; Identify the innovation process that can be adopted in multinational strategies; And which are the proprietary and geographic scopes of the process steps. The methodological approach is the qualitative one, the method is the one of case study and the technique of treatment of data was the analysis of content. It was found that the process occurs in a disaggregated way between its stages, there is independence of performance in the geographic and proprietary scopes, but, at different intensity, open innovation was more found than global innovation. And, the practice of open innovation does not influence the use of global innovation.
Esta pesquisa buscou entender como ocorre o processo de desenvolvimento de produto com a desagregação do escopo geográfico e proprietário. Foram feitas comparações entre diferentes referenciais teóricos sobre o Processo de Inovação global, inovação aberta e a relação entre eles, para que fossem aplicados nas três empresas premium selecionadas, pertencentes à Indústria Têxtil e Confecção do Brasil, localizadas na cidade de São Paulo. Para isso, foram entrevistados quinze funcionários, cuja as funções envolvem o desenvolvimento de coleções destas empresas. Os objetivos de pesquisa foram propor um framework desagregando as etapas nos escopos geográfico e proprietário; identificar o Processo de Inovação que pode ser adotado em estratégias multinacionais; e quais os escopos proprietário e geográfico das etapas do processo. A abordagem metodológica é a qualitativa, o método é o de estudo de caso e a técnica de tratamento de dados foi a análise de conteúdo. Constatou-se que o processo ocorre de forma desagregada entre suas etapas, existe independência de atuação nos escopos geográfico e proprietário, porém, em intensidade diferente, a inovação aberta foi mais encontrada que a inovação global. E, a prática da inovação aberta não influi no uso da inovação global.

Resumen

Social media for innovation have been used by organizations all over the world to involve users in the innovation process. However, it has not been studied to a great extent within the public sector. The public sector context is different from other organization and focus on innovation to improve citizens’ service. This study aims to investigate how the public sector uses social media for innovation purposes, by conducting semi-structured interviews with employees at a municipality. The study showed that the public sectors adoptions of social media in their innovation process are sporadically applied. It showed that they do involve users in innovation, but mainly through face-to-face meetings. Communication is the common denominator in both the innovation procedures and the social media usage within the public sector. In conclusion, communication can be the road to innovation for the public sector.

Resumen

Dans un contexte de transition sociétale et environnementale, les entreprises agroalimentaires doivent innover avec de nouvelles contraintes. La recherche n’a pourtant pas encore considéré la rencontre simultanée de deux approches de développement de produits, celle tirée par les consommateurs, « consumer-led », et celle tirée par l’environnement, « l’éco-innovation », dans le cadre de l’innovation alimentaire. Pour répondre à cette carence, un processus d’innovation en cinq étapes (idéation, conceptualisation, développement, validation, lancement) qui mobilise des outils variésd’intégration des consommateurs, de l’environnement, et d’aide à la décision, a été construit dans un cas de recherche intervention. Les travaux ont montré que les consommateurs peuvent être intégrés efficacement dès l’idéation par une méthode qualitative, le focus group, et co-créer les produits de manière itérative. L’outil d’Analyse de Cycle de Vie choisi pour intégrer la dimension environnementale, et modularisé pour l’évaluation de pré-concepts et de prototypes, a montré des limites (complexité, manque de données), réduisant l’impact de notre proposition sur les décisions de l’entreprise au cours du processus. Un outil d’aide à la décision multicritère et évolutif a permis d’orienter les décisions sur les trois dimensions de performance : le marché, l’environnement et la faisabilité. Finalement, cette thèse apporte des perspectives pour les entreprises agroalimentaires en proposant des outils opérationnels, ainsi que des perspectives de recherches futures favorisant l’innovation durable
In a context of societal and environmental transition for sustainable development, agri-food companies must innovate with new constraints. However, research has not yet considered the simultaneous meeting of two approaches to product development, the "consumer-led" approach and the environment-led, "eco-innovation" approach to food innovation. A five-stage innovation process (ideation, conceptualization, development, validation, launch) that mobilizes various tools for integrating consumers, the environment, and decision support, has been developed in a research-intervention case to address this gap. The work has shown that consumers can be effectively integrated from the ideation stage through a qualitative method, the focus group, and can co-create products in an iterative way. The Life Cycle Assessment tool chosen to integrate the environmental dimension and modularized for the environmental evaluation of pre-concepts and prototypes, showed limitations (complexity, lack of data), reducing the impact of our proposal on the company's decisions during the process. A multi-criteria and scalable decision-support tool has made it possible to guide decisions on the three dimensions of performance: market, feasibility, and environment. Finally, this thesis provides perspectives for agri-food companies by proposing operational tools and future research perspectives that promote sustainable innovation

Resumen

Sous la pression croissante de l'innovation, les entreprises sont plus que jamais obligées de s’occuper de la gestion de l'innovation, et plus particulièrement la génération systématique et la sélection des idées. Ceci s’applique en particulier aux secteurs technologiques tels que l'automobile.L’idéation signifie la procédure de la génération et sélection des idées pour les innovations de nouveaux produits, services où modèles d’affaires avec un potentiel commercial sur le marché. Elle se situe au début de la phase floue amont (« fuzzy front-end », FFE) du processus de l'innovation et détermine le processus de développement de nouveaux produits (« New Product Development », NPD).Dans ce contexte, cette thèse vise à répondre à la question de recherche suivante: « Comment est-il possible de créer une approche structurée qui fait de l’idéation la tâche principale de la FFE et l’implémenter comme processus dans un environnement d'entreprise pour faciliter la gestion de l'innovation? » À cet objectif, la principale contribution de ce travail est un modèle « étape – points de décision » (« stage-gate » en anglais) d’un processus d’idéation de référence qui est basé sur un ensemble des facteurs clés de succès identifiés dans la littérature et des entrevues d'experts.Le modèle de processus d’idéation de référence proposé s’appuie sur l’intégration forte et systématique des acteurs internes et externes dans l'idéation et intègre ainsi intrinsèquement le paradigme modern de l'Innovation Ouverte. Il a été conçu de manière qu’il puisse être intégré dans les processus d'innovation existants avec des efforts raisonnables, et qu’il assure l’alignement des activités d'idéation avec la stratégie commerciale de l'entreprise.La validation du modèle de processus de référence proposé a été faite chez le sous-traitant automobile allemand KSPG Automotive Group essentiellement par la dérivation d'un processus spécifique à cette entreprise à partir du processus de référence. Ce processus dérivé prend en compte le contexte spécifique de l'innovation et l'idéation chez cette entreprise et facilite par conséquence son intégration dans la culture organisationnelle de l'entreprise et son paysage de processus.Dans le cadre de cette thèse, la faisabilité de l'approche globale ainsi que le processus d'idéation lui-même ont été validés, et un concept pour l'introduction du nouveau processus a été établi. Sur cette base solide sont données des perspectives pour les prochaines activités de recherche qui sont directement liées à l'introduction et l'amélioration du processus, ainsi que la détermination de l'applicabilité de l'approche dans d’autres secteurs industriels
Under the rapidly increasing innovation pressure, companies are forced—more than ever before—to deal with the subject of innovation management, particularly with systematic idea generation and selection. This is especially true in technology-driven sectors such as automotive.Ideation denotes the procedure of idea generation and selection for innovations of products, services or business models with commercialisation potential on the market. It is located in the very beginning of the fuzzy front-end (FFE) of the entire innovation process and sets the course for New Product Development (NPD).In this context, this work attempts to answer the following research question: “How is it possible to create a structured approach which makes ideation the core task of the FFE, and to implement it as a process in a corporate environment such that it facilitates innovation management?” To this aim, its principal contribution is an ideation stage-gate reference process model based on a set of key success factors identified from literature and expert interviews.The proposed ideation reference process model capitalises on the strong and systematic involvement of internal and external stakeholders in ideation, and therefore follows intrinsically the modern paradigm of Open Innovation. It is designed in a way that can be integrated in existing innovation processes with reasonable effort, and it assures the alignment of ideation activities with the company’s business strategy.The validation of the proposed reference process model has been done at the German automotive supplier KSPG Automotive Group based on the derivation of a company-specific ideation process from the reference process. This derived process takes into account the company’s specific context of innovation and ideation, and is consequently focused on facilitating its integration into the company’s organisational culture and process landscape while introducing a fundamentally new approach to systematic ideation activities.In the scope of this thesis, the feasibility of the total approach as well as the ideation process itself has been demonstrated, and a concept for the broad introduction of the new process has been established. On this solid basis, perspectives for future research activities directly linked to the introduction and the improvement of the process, as well as to the determination of the applicability of the approach in different industry sectors are given

Resumen

Crowdsourcing och den kollaborativa ekonomin är modeller för öppen innovation som blir allt mer centrala i ett samhälle som står inför morgondagens utmaningar. För att ta itu med globala problem krävs det ett globalt samarbete och ett gemensamt ansvar, där delningsekonomin kan bli avgörande. I denna kvantitativa undersökning svarar vi på frågeställningen om hur upptagandet av och beslutsfattandet kring kollaborativa tjänsteinnovationer kan se ut när vi låter 50 studenter ta del av en kollaborativ tjänsteinnovation. Vi undersöker några befintliga kollaborativa tjänster, redogör för relevanta begrepp och visar på hur Diffusion of innovations kan användas för att förstå något så komplext som hur innovationer kan upptas och spridas i sociala system. Vidare visar vi hur ramverk för konceptualisering av crowdsourcing kan användas för att förstå hur miljöaspekten och viljan att samarbeta kan driva en stor grupp människor till att dela på kompetens, resurser och kunskap. Slutsatser och ett innovationsbidrag lyfts fram som kan hjälpa företag att förstå hur crowdsourcing kan användas och de villkor som spelar roll för individers upptagande.
Crowdsourcing and the sharing economy are essential models for open innovation when facing the challenges of tomorrow. Dealing with global problems require global cooperation and common responsibility, where the sharing economy may become crucial. In this quantitative study we examine how the adoption and decision-making process occurs when we let 50 students take part in a collaborative service innovation. We look at some already existing collaborative innovations, explain relevant concepts and show how Diffusion of innovations can be used to understand something as complex as adoption and diffusion of service innovations in social systems. Furthermore, we show how the framework for conceptualization of crowdsourcing can be used to understand how the environmental aspect and the willingness to cooperate can drive a crowd to share skills, resources and knowledge. Conclusions are presented and a contribution to help crowdsourcing ventures and collaborative networks is highlighted to understand individual adoption and the preconditions that affects their decision-making.

Since Chesbrough (2003) first coined the concept of open innovation it has attracted a growing attention both in academia and in practice. Despite the increasing efforts to explore open innovation, many questions remain unanswered. Academic research has spread its focus into different topics such as innovation management, business strategy, organizational behavior and public policies. Practitioners, on the other hand, have been exploring the concept of open innovation in diversified ways. Taking into account the variability of open innovation practices, this study seeks to provide microfoundations for open innovation by adopting the effectuation theory. Effectuation theory was originally developed in the field of entrepreneurship research and can be defined as a set of teachable and learnable decision-making principles that together form an overall logic that expert entrepreneurs are observed to employ in situations of uncertainty in order to create new ventures and new markets. (SARASVATHY, 2001; 2008). We have shown that the effectuation theory has the strength to provide strong contribution to build a consistent micro level conceptual basis for open innovation practices. By performing an extensive case study of an open innovation management organization dedicated to foster collaborations between Brazil and Sweden, we examine the decision-making processes of 13 expert R&D and innovation managers representing eight different entities involved in the startup of this new organization. As a result of our research we identified and described a decision-making methodology used by expert innovation managers involved in the creation of an open innovation management organization. The research insights that emerged from this case study enabled us to develop a decision-making framework based on effectuation and open innovation theories that could support managers to start-up new organizations dedicated to open innovation.
Desde que Chesbrough (2003) cunhou o termo inovação aberta, o conceito tem atraído uma atenção crescente tanto no meio acadêmico quanto no mundo empresarial. Apesar dos esforços crescentes em explorar práticas de inovação aberta, muitas perguntas permanecem sem resposta. A pesquisa acadêmica expandiu o foco abordando o tema de forma bastante ampla como gestão da inovação, estratégia empresarial, comportamento organizacional e políticas públicas. Ao mesmo tempo, gestores também têm explorado na prática o conceito de inovação aberta de formas muito diversificadas. Levando em conta a variabilidade das práticas de inovação aberta, este estudo visa fornecer microfundamentos para a inovação aberta, adotando a teoria de effectuation. A teoria de effectuation foi originalmente desenvolvida no campo da pesquisa sobre empreendedorismo. Pode ser definida como um conjunto de princípios de tomada de decisão que pode ser ensinado e aprendido, formando uma lógica global empregada por empreendedores com expertise frente a situações de incerteza durante a criação de novos empreendimentos e novos mercados (SARASVATHY, 2001; 2008). Nós demostramos que a teoria effectuation tem a consistência para fornecer uma contribuição sólida no nível micro das práticas de inovação aberta. Neste trabalho, realizamos um estudo de caso extensivo sobre uma organização de gestão da inovação aberta destinada a promover a colaboração entre Brasil e Suécia. Examinamos os processos de tomada de decisão de 13 especialistas em R&D e gerentes de inovação que juntos representam oito diferentes entidades envolvidas em sua criação. Como resultado de nossa pesquisa, identificamos e descrevemos a metodologia de tomada de decisão utilizada pelos gestores de inovação envolvidos na criação de uma organização dedicada à gestão da inovação aberta. As percepções frutos da pesquisa realizada nos permitiu desenvolver um quadro de tomada de decisão com base nas teorias de effectuation e inovação aberta, capaz de apoiar gestores na criação de novas organizações dedicadas à gestão da inovação aberta.

Resumen

Determinantes y beneficios de las actividades de innovación que trascienden las fronteras organizativas: Estudios empíricos de un panel de empresas españolas Tesis Doctoral Sean Kask Las empresas se relacionan cada vez más con agentes que se encuentran fuera de sus fronteras organizativas con el objetivo de desarrollar innovaciones tanto de productos como de procesos. Los tres estudios empíricos que componen esta tesis exploran los determinantes y beneficios de las actividades de innovación orientadas hacía el exterior. En los tres estudios se estiman diferentes modelos econométricos basados en un panel de empresas españolas. El primer estudio investiga los factores que determinan que las empresas manufactureras elijan entre el desarrollo interno, la colaboración o el desarrollo externo como estrategia para el desarrollo de nuevos productos. A partir de constructos derivados de la teoría de los costes de transacción, la visión basada en recursos y la teoría de la organización industrial, los resultados destacan las diferencias existentes entre la colaboración y la contratación como modos de gobernanza de la innovación. En primer lugar, los resultados muestran que la incertidumbre de mercado tiende a llevar a las empresas a la colaboración pero no al desarrollo externo; mientras que las empresas son más proclives a colaborar bajo condiciones de incertidumbre tecnológica. En segundo lugar, los resultados ponen de manifiesto una relación en forma de U-invertida entre la capacidad de I+D de la empresa y la probabilidad de colaborar (en comparación con el desarrollo interno) y una relación negativa con la adquisición externa, reflejando una tensión entre el 'efecto de la necesidad' de encontrar fuentes externas de innovación cuando la capacidad interna es baja, y el 'efecto de la complementariedad' entre estas capacidades internas y la aptitud para beneficiarse de estas fuentes externas.

Resumen

Obwohl virtuelle Ideencommunities (VIC) ein erfolgreiches Mittel zur Externalisierung von Kundenwissen darstellen, ist der Ausarbeitungsgrad der erzeugten Ideen oftmals zu gering, was zu einer verschlechterten Adaptierbarkeit der Ideen führt. Aus diesem Grund wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit ein Workshopdesign theoretisch entwickelt, welches zur gemeinschaftlichen Ausarbeitung und Strukturierung von Ideen, die in VICs erzeugt wurden, verwendet werden kann. Zur Erarbeitung des neuen Designs wird auf die Prinzipien des Collaboration Engineering zurückgegriffen, mit Hilfe dessen sich kollaborative Aufgaben systematisch analysieren und Gestaltungsempfehlungen für deren Design ableiten lassen. Als Resultat entsteht ein neues Workshopdesign, welches mit Hilfe einer detaillierten Agenda dargestellt wird. Damit liegt ein Konzept zur nahtlosen Erweiterung der, aus einer VIC resultierenden, Zusammenarbeit zwischen Kunden und Unternehmen im Rahmen des Open Innovation vor.

Diante das dificuldades sociais que as comunidades atuais têm se deparado, há grande preocupação na busca por soluções que possam, ao menos, minimizá-las. Neste contexto, as ações realizadas promovem o desenvolvimento de inovações sociais, ou seja, mudanças originadas a partir da identificação de necessidades complementares de atores distintos, cujo resultado pode gerar desenvolvimento social e econômico. Geralmente, o processo de desenvolvimento de uma inovação social inicia com o trabalho de um empreendedor social, que muitas vezes, está ligado a organizações do Terceiro Setor. Percebeu-se, então, que este processo, bem como as métricas utilizadas para avaliação do desenvolvimento e dos resultados da inovação social ainda representam um gap na literatura sobre o tema. Assim, este estudo buscou compreender como se dá o desenvolvimento de uma inovação social no contexto do terceiro setor e quais são os fatores que impactam na implementação. A partir da questão de pesquisa e à luz do referencial teórico, definiu-se como objeto de estudo um projeto piloto, na área da educação, cujo tema era o desenvolvimento de valores no ensino fundamental e que seria implementado durante o ano letivo de 2011, na rede escolar de Nova Prata/RS. Para responder à questão de pesquisa utilizou-se a metodologia quali-quanti, organizada em três fases distintas e que alimentavam a etapa subsequente. Na primeira fase, qualitativa e denominada Marco Zero, a pesquisadora procurou compreender o contexto em que o projeto seria implementado. Os resultados serviram como subsídio para a elaboração do instrumento de pesquisa da segunda fase, de caráter quantitativo, na qual se buscou, por meio da análise fatorial, definir os fatores que influenciam o desenvolvimento da inovação social. A partir dos resultados desta fase, foram realizadas entrevistas com diferentes atores envolvidos no processo - equipe diretiva e professores de escola, pais de alunos, orientadoras pedagógicas da secretaria de educação, gerente da Parceiros Voluntários e coordenadores da Unidade da Parceiros Voluntários de Nova Prata -, bem como a realização de dois grupos focais com alunos que participaram do projeto. Os resultados possibilitaram a elaboração de um framework que contempla diferentes variáveis para o desenvolvimento da inovação social, bem como a utilização da lógica da inovação aberta, na qual diferentes atores participam e influenciam o processo. Um dos resultados observados é o fato da identificação de objetivos complementares e não de objetivos comuns, como a literatura tem apontado e, posteriormente, ressaltado no conceito originado da pesquisa. O framework desenvolvido buscou detalhar as fases que conduzem à inovação social, procurando definir um processo que pode ser utilizado para replicação de projetos em diferentes contextos.
In view of the social difficulties faced by current communities, there is great concern in finding solutions that may, at least, minimize these problems. Within this context, the actions realized promote the development of social innovation, that is, changes that come about based on the identification of the complementary necessities of specific actors, the result of which may generate both social and economic development. Generally speaking, the development process for social innovation begins with a social entrepreneur project, which, very often, is linked to Third Sector organizations. It is thus noted that this process, along with the metrics used to evaluate the development and results of social innovation, still represent a gap in the literature on this topic. Therefore, this study sought to understand how social innovation is developed in the context of the voluntary sector and what the factors are that have an impact on its implementation. Based on the research question and theoretical references, the defined objective of this study was a pilot project in the area of education under the theme of the development of values in primary education, implemented during the academic year of 2011, in the school network of Nova Prata/RS. A qualitative/quantitative methodology was employed to respond to the research question, organized in three specific phases and which provided material for the subsequent stage. In the first phase - of a qualitative nature and called Marco Zero (Ground Zero) - the researcher sought to understand the context in which the project would be implemented. The results served to assist in the elaboration of a research instrument in the second phase - of a quantitative nature -, which sought to define the factors that influence the development of social innovation by means of factorial analysis. Based on the results of this phase, interviews were conducted with different actors involved in the process - school management team and teachers, students parents, educational advisors from the department of education, the manager of Parceiros Voluntários and coordinators from the Nova Prata Parceiros Voluntários Unit -, as well as the creation of two focal groups with students who took part in the project. The results allowed for the elaboration of a framework with different variables for the development of social innovation, as well as the use of the open innovation logic, in which different actors participate in and influence the process. One of the noted results was the identification of complementary objectives and not common objectives, as pointed out by the literature and, later, reiterated in the concept taken from the research. The developed framework sought to detail the phases that lead to social innovation, seeking to define a process that can be used for the replication of projects in different contexts.

A importância da prática de inovação, por parte das empresas, já está evidente na literatura (FREEMAN, 1982; HINDMOON, 2008; TAALITA et al., 2006), como um mecanismo eficiente no que diz respeito ao seu desenvolvimento, crescimento e lucratividade. Assim, o principal desafio passa a ser como praticar a inovação, e não mais em relação à sua importância. Neste contexto, a literatura (CALIA, 2007; BRITTO, 2002; TERRA; PLONSK, 2006; AMATO NETO, 2005) parece indicar que as redes surgem como uma forma de viabilização das inovações, podendo oferecer as condições necessárias ao seu desenvolvimento. Desta forma, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo central um aprofundamento na compreensão das redes de transformação. Essas redes são as responsáveis por auxiliar na interligação entre as redes de exploração (criação do conhecimento) e as redes de aplicação (aplicação e utilização do conhecimento). Buscar-se ainda identificar possíveis práticas e ferramentas presentes nas redes de transformação que possam acelerar o processo de inovação. A abordagem metodológica utilizada foi o estudo de caso, realizado em duas empresas do setor químico do interior do estado de São Paulo. Os estudos de caso apresentados foram analisados, segundo o modelo de processo de inovação em redes proposto por Gobbo Júnior e Olsson (2010), que descrevem os tipos de redes abertas, fechadas e de transformação, bem como identificam os tipos de atores presentes na interface entre as redes de exploração e aplicação, sugerindo que a inovação é um processo em rede que ocorre em sentido horário ao modelo apresentado. As pesquisas realizadas nas duas empresas corroboraram com os dados apresentados pelo modelo de inovação proposto por Gobbo Júnior e Olsson (2010), em que foi possível identificar não apenas os atores presentes nas redes de exploração e aplicação, mas também os...
The importance of innovation practice by enterprises is already evident in literature (FREEMAN, 1982, HINDMOON, 2008; TAALITA et al., 2006), as an efficient mechanism concerning its development, growt and profit. then, the main challenge is how to practice such innovation, and not its importance anymore. In this context, the literature (CALIA, 2007; BRITTO, 2002; TERRA; PLONSK, 2006; AMATO NETO, 2005), seem to indicate that the networks seem to arise as the feasibility of the innovations offering suitable conditions for its development. In this way, the current research aims mainly to go deeper into the network transformation and comprehension. These networks are responsible for the interlink support, among the network exploration (the knowledge creation), and the network applying (applying and use of knowledge). Yet, it is searched how to identify possible practices and tools in the network transformation, which may accelerate the innovation process. The approach methodology used was a case study help in two interprises in the chemical field within Sao Paulo state. The case studies were examined according to the innovation process model in networks, proposed by Gobbo Junior and Olsson (2010), which describes the types of external, closed and network transformation, and identify the types of actors in the interface between the network exploration and innovation as well, occurring articlockwise compared to the shown model. The two researches help in both enterprises corroborated with data pointed out by the innovation model offered by Gobbo Junior and Olsson (2010), making it possible to identify not only the actors in the exploration and innovation networks but also the intermediate actors related to the process. It was also possible to identify the path of the innovation process in networks by such actors. In the first case, it is was the enterprise which moved along the network, while ...

Desta forma, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo central um aprofundamento na compreensão das redes de transformação. Essas redes são as responsáveis por auxiliar na interligação entre as redes de exploração (criação do conhecimento) e as redes de aplicação (aplicação e utilização do conhecimento). Buscar-se ainda identificar possíveis práticas e ferramentas presentes nas redes de transformação que possam acelerar o processo de inovação. A abordagem metodológica utilizada foi o estudo de caso, realizado em duas empresas do setor químico do interior do estado de São Paulo. Os estudos de caso apresentados foram analisados, segundo o modelo de processo de inovação em redes proposto por Gobbo Júnior e Olsson (2010), que descrevem os tipos de redes abertas, fechadas e de transformação, bem como identificam os tipos de atores presentes na interface entre as redes de exploração e aplicação, sugerindo que a inovação é um processo em rede que ocorre em sentido horário ao modelo apresentado. As pesquisas realizadas nas duas empresas corroboraram com os dados apresentados pelo modelo de inovação proposto por Gobbo Júnior e Olsson (2010), em que foi possível identificar não apenas os atores presentes nas redes de exploração e aplicação, mas também os ...

Abstract: The importance of innovation practice by enterprises is already evident in literature (FREEMAN, 1982, HINDMOON, 2008; TAALITA et al., 2006), as an efficient mechanism concerning its development, growt and profit. then, the main challenge is how to practice such innovation, and not its importance anymore. In this context, the literature (CALIA, 2007; BRITTO, 2002; TERRA; PLONSK, 2006; AMATO NETO, 2005), seem to indicate that the networks seem to arise as the feasibility of the innovations offering suitable conditions for its development. In this way, the current research aims mainly to go deeper into the network transformation and comprehension. These networks are responsible for the interlink support, among the network exploration (the knowledge creation), and the network applying (applying and use of knowledge). Yet, it is searched how to identify possible practices and tools in the network transformation, which may accelerate the innovation process. The approach methodology used was a case study help in two interprises in the chemical field within Sao Paulo state. The case studies were examined according to the innovation process model in networks, proposed by Gobbo Junior and Olsson (2010), which describes the types of external, closed and network transformation, and identify the types of actors in the interface between the network exploration and innovation as well, occurring articlockwise compared to the shown model. The two researches help in both enterprises corroborated with data pointed out by the innovation model offered by Gobbo Junior and Olsson (2010), making it possible to identify not only the actors in the exploration and innovation networks but also the intermediate actors related to the process. It was also possible to identify the path of the innovation process in networks by such actors. In the first case, it is was the enterprise which moved along the network, while ...

Resumen

O open source design ainda é um fenômeno nascente, no entanto representa um movimento que caminha em direção a mudanças radicais na maneira como nós adquirimos uma grande variedade de produtos. Baseado no conceito Do-It-Yourself, os usuários, ou seja, os indivíduos ou organizações que esperam se beneficiar do uso de um design, produto ou serviço, possuem um papel ativo e central no desenvolvimento de novos produtos. Por meio de comunidades auto-organizadas, os colaboradores compartilham esforços para geração de produtos, e os tornam disponíveis para que qualquer pessoa possa utilizá-los livremente. Embora as comunidades open source sejam mais conhecidas para o desenvolvimento de software, elas não estão restritas ao software. No entanto, são poucas as iniciativas que aplicam esse conceito para produtos físicos. A literatura apresenta um grande número de estudos relacionados ao processo de desenvolvimento de produtos, porém, o open source design apresenta um ambiente diferente do tradicional. O envolvimento de um grande número de pessoas auto-organizadas pode provocar efeitos negativos no processo de desenvolvimento de produtos, quando soluções ruins influenciarem significativamente na convergência para uma solução final. Pesquisas indicam a necessidade de um melhor entendimento do processo de desenvolvimento de produtos nesse ambiente, assim como das ferramentas utilizadas para apoiar às organizações na gestão de seus processos de forma eficiente. Alguns autores apontam a falta de estudos de caso como uma das grandes barreiras para o desenvolvimento das pesquisas neste campo. Com base nessas lacunas, o objetivo deste estudo é contribuir com a caracterização do desenvolvimento de produtos no open source design. Para atingir esse objetivo, são realizados uma revisão de literatura no tema e um estudo de caso de caráter etnográfico, apoiado em mais de 800 horas de observação participante, e na análise de documentos da comunidade Open Source Ecology, nos Estados Unidos. Como resultado, é apresentado um relato das experiências vivenciadas junto à comunidade, que permitiram o levantamento de características do processo de desenvolvimento de produtos no open source design, assim como algumas reflexões sobre os demais elementos deste fenômeno: a plataforma de colaboração, a comunidade, os fatores que motivam os colaboradores a se envolverem no open source design, e o modelo de negócio dessas organizações. Estes resultados nos levam a crer que, embora muito trabalho tenha sido feito nas comunidades de open source design, este movimento ainda possui um baixo nível de maturidade com relação à gestão do processo de desenvolvimento de produtos, e está longe de mostrar seu todo o seu potencial.
The open source design is still a nascent phenomenon, but is it represents a movement that goes toward radical changes in how we acquire a wide variety of products. Based on the Do-It-Yourself concept, the users, i.e. individuals or organizations who expect to benefit from the use of a design, product or service, have an active and central role in the development of new products. Through self-organized communities, contributors share efforts to generate product designs, and make them available so that anyone can make free use of them. Although the open source communities are best known for software development, they are not restricted to software. However, there are few initiatives that apply this concept to physical products. The literature shows a large number of studies related to the design process, however, the open source design has a different environment than traditional one. The involvement of a large number of selforganized people can result in negative effects on the design process, when bad solutions dominate and greatly influence the convergence to a solution. Some researches indicate the necessity of better understand the design process in this environment, as well as the tools that aid organizations and individuals to manage this process effectively. Some authors point out the lack of case studies as one of the major barriers to the development of research in this field. Based on these gaps, the objective of this study is to contribute to the characterization of the design process in the open source design. To achieve this goal, there are conducted a literature review on this topic and an ethnographic case study, supported by more than 800 hours of participant observation, and document analysis the Open Source Ecology community, in the United States. As a result, an account of experiences with this community is presented, which support the characterization of the design process in open source design, as well as some reflections on other elements of this phenomenon: the collaboration platform, the community, the drive that motivates participation, and the business models of these organizations. Our findings indicate that, even though many accomplishments have been achieved, the open source design movement still has a low level of maturity, and is far from showing its full potential.

Resumen

La presente tesi teorica propone il MOPC index per misurare quanto i manager abbiano generato una comunità multinazionale di gestione aperta di un generico processo considerando congiuntamente l’affiliazione, la connettività interna, la forza e la multinazionalità. A tal fine ho impiegato il SAOM-Behavior valutando la collaborazione internazionale di processo ed annessa propensione come variabili multiple i cui valori e co-evoluzione dipendono dalla co-influenza tra le collaborazioni internazionali fasiche, tra le medesime e le rispettive propensioni fasiche e tra queste ultime. L’intensità relazionale dipende dal modello mentale condiviso, generatosi a livello di team internazionale, su una certa fase del processo mentre la propensione è funzione dell’orientamento e dell’attitudine alla collaborazione internazionale fasica. Il MOPC index è stato applicato alla comunità multinazionale di innovazione aperta e di gestione aperta introducendo due indici teorici: MOIC index e MOMC index. Infine ho teorizzato la catena del valore del manager (MVC) impiegando il processo innovativo e gestionale; considerando le collaborazioni internazionali sui due processi con annesse propensioni, si ho analizzato la collaborazione internazionale sulla MVC, la relativa propensione e la loro co-evoluzione. Cosi facendo, ho introdotto il MMC index per misurare la comunità multinazionale manageriale e, mediante questo, la multinazionalizzazione d’impresa da una prospettiva relazionale manageriale.
This thesis presents the theoretical MOPC index to measure how much the managers generate a multinational open process community by considering the affiliation, the internal connectivity, the strenghtness and the multinationality. I employed the SAOM-Behavior by evaluating the international process collaboration and the respective propensity as multiple variables whose value and co-evolution depend on the co-influence between the international collaborations phasic, between the same and the respective propensities phasic and between them. The intensity of these relationships depends on the International phasic team mental model sharing (TMMS) while the propensity’s one depends on the orientation and the attitude. Then the MOPC index has been applied to measure the multinational open innovation community and the multinational open management community by introducing the MOIC index and the MOMC index. Finally, I introduced the managerial value chain (MVC) as composed of the innovative and the management process. By integrating the international collaborations related to the two processes and their propensities It’s possible to measure the international MVC collaboration, the correlated propensity and their co-evolution. In doing so, I introduced the MMC index to determine the multinational managerial community’s degree and use it to evaluate the firm’s multinationalization by a managerial relational perspective.

Resumen

To meet the new challenges of the chemical indutries, the developpement of new heterogeneous catalytic reactors and their understanding are mandatory. From these perspectives, new reactor designs based on structuring at micro or millimeter scales have emerged. They have sparked interest for their ability to decrease physical limitations for heat and mass transfers. Thus, two advanced reactor technologies for gas-liquid-solid catalysed reactions are studied. The first reactor is a micro-structured falling film (FFMR) in which vertical sub millimetric grooves are etched and coated with a catalyst. This structuration allows stabilizing the gas-liquid interface of a down flow liquid phase. A thin liquid film is generated leading to high specific surface areas. Commercially available, it represents a very good potential for performing demanding reactions (i.e.fast, exothermic) for small scale productions such as pharmaceuticals. In a second part, a new reactor concept is proposed. Open cell foams are used as catalyst support and inserted in a milli-square channel. The reactor is then submitted to a preformed gas-liquid Taylor flow. In both cases, hydrodynamics features are studied by using microscopy based methods. Their potential in terms of mass transfers are also studied by performing catalyzed α-methylstyren hydrogenation. For both reactors, it comes out that the particular flow induced by micro or milli structures leads to at least one order of magnitude higher mass transfers performances than mutliphase reactors currently used in the industry albeit it remains to be demonstrated at such scale. From all these studies, correlations, models and methods for chemical engineers (hydrodynamics, pressure drops, mass transfer) are proposed for the two reactors

This study focuses on the open innovation and modularize allocation in the development process of new products. Modularize allocation helps corporations adapt to the fast-changing industrial environment while open innovation keeps corporations in a timeliness condition, helping them grow in response to change. Open innovation and the process of modularize allocation is described by focusing on the new product development process of cases in the furniture industry. When the development process of open innovation involves reconfiguration of corporation resources and activities, the modularized allocation of problem definition and organization are relatively formed. This study investigates how organizations deal with external problems in a new business pattern and integrate the concept of open innovation and modularize allocation to increase the possibility of success for new products.

Globalization trends have prompted industry rapidly changing environment, competition, the enterprise has a key influence on the operation. Under the open innovation trend, enterprises have to look for external cooperation to achieve innovation. Many companies have already changed innovation strategies to break boundaries and cooperated with their customers, partners or even competitors outside the organizations. Reduce costs and increase speed of innovation for economic value. This research is to explore the innovation process proficiency and learning satisfaction of the cross-field open innovation team. The research samples are taken from Cross-Field Innovation Value-Added Promotion Plan. A total of 213 questionnaires were distributed by email, 195 questionnaires were returned, and 175 valid questionnaires were recovered, giving an overall response rate of 82.16%. The results of this research show that team innovation process proficiency increases individual learning satisfaction through increasing the mediator, individual cross-field learning self-efficacy in the cross-level process. In team aspect, innovation process proficiency increases team performance. In individual aspect, if the innovation level of organization’s better, the situation of organization learning will be better, then it can increase learning satisfaction.

Open innovation (OI) is a phenomenon of novel innovation management strategy in the recent century, several implications in the diversity of industry were investigated around focusing with the technology-driven industry. Medical device industry was considered as one of the most beneficial from the model of OI implication support from the characteristic of the industry itself. Yet the term had been majority study in case of a developed country and Large-scale firm, the question is left for the practice of OI in the developing country where are more seeking for the improvement opportunity for the firm performance in the medical innovation development process. The study subject to identify the suitable OI implication strategy for the firm base on the sub-crucial process of the medical device innovation process model, trough the literature review and interview with critical stakeholder individual to construct the frame process model for identifying the suitable implement method and independence between each process. Using the content analysis material for construction of medical device innovation model, the validation for the suitable purpose strategy had been done used the absorptive capability and internal resource limitation analysis (AIA) to the subprocess as can be separated into four-quadrant combining with the DEMATAL method to purpose the overall strategy for each and overall dimension of medical device innovation process. The outcome display that for the subject industry, the implementation of the OI is more suitable to the conduct in the early market stage more than the marketing relates one, while in detail in each innovation phase the suitable implementation order is scattered. The chain implementation for OI method had been introducing from the result of the optimal pathway. Thus, we discover that only in the case of the regulatory approval process are not suitable for the chain implementation of OI but more suitable in case of independent apply for each subprocess. Furthermore, due to the impact chain of the innovation process, this study indicates that in case of the process were not suitable for the OI implementation yet still can benefit the improvement of the operation by conduct the OI implement in the early relate process.

Resumen

Open innovation has long embarked its path to become the new paradigm of research and development, and firms make no secret of their activities in this field. In fact, a growing number of firms actively communicate their open innovation approach through various channels. This study sheds light on the consumer perspective of open innovation and demonstrates how consumers respond to learning about a company’s open innovation activities. In a preliminary study, the innovation perception of different smartphone brands is measured. The main study then utilizes the most innovative and least innovative brands as a stimulus for an online experiment with 433 participants (N) to uncover the open innovation effect and its boundary conditions. The results show a positive effect of open innovation communication for innovative firms on both innovation perception and overall brand perception. In contrast, the study reveals a negative open innovation effect on innovation and brand perception for firms that are perceived as less innovative. Besides, the age of the customers is identified as a second important boundary condition, indicating that older customers prefer factual advertising over communicating an open innovation background. Afterwards, the economic relevance of the study is emphasised by demonstrating that the improved innovation and brand perception lead to stronger purchasing intentions. The study concludes by giving hands-on advice to managers on how they can leverage their open innovation activities for marketing purposes.
A inovação aberta há muito tempo entrou em seu caminho para se tornar o novo paradigma de pesquisa e desenvolvimento, e as empresas não fazem segredo de suas atividades nesse campo. De fato, um número crescente de empresas comunica ativamente sua abordagem de inovação aberta através de vários canais. Este estudo lança luz sobre a perspectiva do consumidor em relação à inovação aberta e demonstra como os consumidores respondem ao saberem sobre as atividades de inovação aberta de uma empresa. O estudo principal utiliza então as marcas mais inovadoras e menos inovadoras como um estímulo para um experimento online com 433 participantes (N) para descobrir o efeito da inovação aberta e suas condições de contorno. Os resultados mostram um efeito positivo da comunicação de inovação aberta para empresas inovadoras, tanto na percepção da inovação quanto na percepção geral da marca. Em contraste, o estudo revela um efeito negativo da inovação aberta em termos de inovação e percepção de marca para empresas que são vistas como menos inovadoras. Além disso, a idade dos clientes é identificada como uma segunda condição de contorno importante, indicando que os clientes mais velhos preferem a publicidade factual à comunicação de um histórico de inovação aberta. Posteriormente, enfatiza-se a relevância econômica do estudo, demonstrando que a melhoria na percepção da inovação e da marca levam a maiores intenções de compra. O estudo conclui dando conselhos práticos aos gerentes sobre como eles podem alavancar suas atividades de inovação aberta para fins de marketing.

While knowledge management (KM) implementation is complicated in terms of the association with many industries, a new concept for broadly integrating KM process and open innovation (OI) is emerged. In practice, globalization has altered the competitive dynamics of nations, companies, and industries. This is most clearly seen in the changing patterns of organizations. Due to a paradigm shift toward knowledge-based organizations, industries have to consider the KM and OI integrated to enhance the organization's competitiveness. Based on the relevant literature and concepts, this study proposes a novel theoretical model to examine the relationships among OI process, KM process, and KM implementation. OI process consists of three processes: outside-in process, coupled process, and inside-out process. KM process consists of two processes: external process and internal process. And, KM implementation consists of four phases to be measured: needs analysis, content analysis, usability test, and effect analysis. It also provides an empirical analysis of a framework that helps us to gauge the practical validity of the approach. This study also considers two control variables, industry type and company size, and their effects on KM implementation. This study develops a measurement approach on the basis of existing theory. We gather data by using a structured questionnaire that is administered through mail. The findings we obtained reveal that both two processes of KM have different impacts on KM implementation. And also both processes of KM have interactive effects on each other. Overall, the two processes of KM are indicated as the significant determinants in impacting the KM implementation. However, the result of analysis shows that coupled process of OI is not significant on external process of KM. Industry type is positively correlated with KM implementation while company size does not show any correlation with KM implementation. The findings of this study will provide practitioners and academics with the proposed model for measuring the success of KM implementation. Furthermore, its result will be helpful to make more proactive plans for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of KM implementation.

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.

Resumen

The purpose of this dissertation is to understand whether co-creation, where external sources integrate new product development process, against firm’s professionals lead to favorable perceptions in new products design. We aim to test whether the differences relate to the types of knowledge involved. Traditionally, firms worked with their professionals to develop new products. Contrasting with co-creation approach (with users or other external sources such as university labs) implies an interaction between external sources and firm’s professionals, leading to new product designs for the entire consumer market. For this thesis, we run an experimental study with participants, a random sample of 92 and we have tested two different ideas for baby products: baby bottled food as low complexity product and baby bottles as high complexity product. Firstly, results show that co-creation is perceived as the most innovative design model. However, the perception of co-creation does not lead to more favorable product evaluations. We found that, in the low complexity product, outcome evaluations are not significant through different scenarios. So, people do not recognized differences in firm’s professionals and co-creation. However, in high complex products, people perceive significant differences in functionality dimension. So, for them is highly different when are firm’s professionals involved, they will perceive higher evaluations. Finally, we identified that the different sources possess distinct types of knowledge: firm’s professionals have more technical knowledge and mothers have more experience knowledge; commonly they also have market knowledge. Through this final distinction in the type of knowledge besides different sources, we also assume that they can complement each other in the innovation process.
A presente dissertação tem como principal objectivo o estudo das percepções do processo de co-criação, em que entidades externas integram o desenvolvimento de novos produtos, em oposição à criação de novos produtos por profissionais. O intuito será, assim, testar se as diferenças nas percepções estão relacionadas com o tipo de conhecimento envolvido no processo de criação do produto. Tradicionalmente, as empresas trabalham com os seus profissionais no desenvolvimento de novos produtos. Contrastando com a co-criação que implica uma interacção entre as fontes externas e os profissionais envolvidos (próprios utilizadores bem como outras fontes externas como os laboratórios universitários) no desenvolvimento de novos produtos. Para a presente dissertação realizou-se um estudo experimental, constituído por uma amostra aleatória de 92 participantes, onde se testou dois produtos para bebé diferentes: comida para bebés engarrafada como produto de reduzida complexidade e biberões como produto de elevada complexidade. Primeiramente os resultados mostram que a co-criação é percepcionada como o melhor modelo para inovar no que respeita ao design. No entanto, a percepção de que se está perante um produto de co-criação não conduziu necessariamente às avaliações mais favoráveis do mesmo. Adicionalmente percebeu-se que para o produto de reduzida complexidade, a avaliação do mesmo não é significativa entre cenários. Pois, as pessoas não reconhecem diferenças entre o processo tradicional, onde se incluem apenas os profissionais da empresa, e o processo de co-criação. Contudo, para o produto de elevada complexidade, as pessoas percepcionam diferenças significativas na funcionalidade do mesmo entre cenários. Assim, sendo a empresa a criar o produto a funcionalidade do produto será melhor avaliada. Por fim, identificámos que as diferentes fontes contêm diferentes tipos de conhecimento percepcionado: os profissionais têm um conhecimento mais técnico, já as mães mais de experiência. E, ambos possuem um bom conhecimento do mercado. Através desta distinção entre os diferentes tipos de conhecimento, assumimos que se podem assim complementar no processo de inovação.

Resumen

This article investigates the practical application of open innovation principles within industrial new product development (NPD). Previous research on open innovation has primarily focused on the notion as such and not yet on how to integrating the principles of open innovation with well- established models for NPD. We aim to help close this knowledge gap. The purpose of this study is to explore how firms can benefit from opening up the NPD process by integrating the principles of open innovation with the well-known and widespread Stage-Gate model. To do this, previous literature is studied in combination with case study data investigating the existing occurrences and potential opportunities of employing the principles of open innovation within NPD at a firm within the upstream Oil & Gas business. Our empirical study shows that there are great virtues in the systematization of the already occasionally occurring open innovation practices. Additionally, a noticeable desire to pursue a more open approach to NPD was identified among the respondents. The results of this study allowed the enactment of a practitioner-oriented work model which exploits the advantages of “openness” while simultaneously capturing the benefits deriving from the systematic and structured approach implied by the Stage- Gate model. Furthermore, by opening up the Stage-Gate model, yet another opportunity is exposed: to allow the work model to facilitate a systematic adjustment of the way value is created and captured within the company (I.e. its business model and its underlying core capabilities) to the external environmental dynamics. This aspect is further included in the new work model. The main implications of this study are that is indicates great opportunities and possibilities in opening up the NPD process. It further introduces an easy applicable work model that facilitates the opening. Moreover, our results apply not only to firms within the Oil & Gas industry, but to all NPD processes where a Stage-Gate methodology is employed.
