Abstract: Abstract This chapter explores one specific aspect of the ‘open-innovation’ paradigm (Chesbrough, 2003) by analysing collaborative new-product development (NPD) among business partners involved in one supply chain. By definition, ‘open innovation assumes that useful knowledge is widely distributed, and that even the most capable R&D organization must identify, connect to, and leverage external knowledge sources as a core process in innovation’ (Chesbrough, 2006, p. 2). Implicitly, the open-innovation paradigm therefore implies that interorganizational networks or supply chains play a salient role in the innovation process. However, our common understanding of open-innovation practices remains limited (West et al., 2006, p. 294).
