International Open Innovation: Taking Stock and Moving Forward

Bruno Cirillo and Giovanni Valentini

Chapter 1 in Innovation and IT in an International Context, 2014, pp 19-46 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Over the last decade the open innovation paradigm has been increasingly indicated as a panacea to firms’ problems in the innovation process. Although it has increasingly been considered as the paradigm for organizing innovation, there still remain a few open issues related to the process and the extent to which external knowledge might enhance performance, particularly in internationally distributed contexts. The goal of this chapter is to present some controversial findings related to the use of external knowledge in the innovation process and to present relevant avenues for future research. While any claim of comprehensiveness would be foolhardy, we aim at highlighting a few topics we believe might constitute interesting avenues for future research at the intersection between the organization of R&D and international business.
