Abstract: Research has shown that red tape negatively affects both innovation and collaboration. Yet studies on barriers to collaborative innovation rarely consider red tape. Through a systematic literature review, we examined 74 empirical studies linking red tape to innovation and collaboration. They were analyzed taking into account the dimensions of red tape discussed (budget, communication and information, personnel, and procurement red tape) and red tape’s effects on collaboration and innovation. This way we identified four different categories of effects red tape can have on collaborative innovation. We discovered that these effects could be linked to specific red tape dimensions.
