OPEN INNOVATION RESEARCH, MANAGEMENT AND PRACTICE

Focusing on the nuanced dynamics of open innovation, this book critiques the overly general prescriptions often found in the literature. It highlights that the effectiveness of open innovation is highly context-dependent, varying by sector, firm, and strategy. The authors aim to refine the discourse by offering detailed insights into the specific mechanisms that facilitate successful open innovation, while also addressing its limitations. This work encourages a more contextual understanding of innovation practices, moving beyond simplistic narratives of open versus closed systems.
