Abstract: The purpose of this study is to propose a conceptual model of influencing and influenced factors of open innovation in universities. This study is typically qualitative based on thematic analysis. First, the contexts of books and journals and conference articles have been extracted to find the influencing factors and influenced factors of open innovation. Then, university managers and experts have reviewed the discovered components and confirmed/rejected them using Delphi technique. Findings indicated that the influencing factors of merging and acquisition, communication and interactions, research and development, management style, internal organisational factors, axial technology, knowledge management and organisational innovation have had the highest frequency. In addition, value creation, creating growth and change, financial benefits and competitive advantage have been introduced as the influenced factors; thereby a conceptual model of open innovation has been developed for universities.
