“…An OIH is an in‐house unit dedicated to supporting and accelerating the company's OI initiatives by helping employees develop OI projects through the provision of various types of services to project members and by championing OI projects in the organization (Kiran & Sharma, 2021; Miller et al, 2014; O'Connor & DeMartino, 2006). For example, as a broker, the OIH connects members of OI projects with potential partners who have the knowledge and expertise to tackle complex innovation problems, and, as a consultant, the hub provides the required expertise to conduct the project successfully (Kirschbaum, 2005; Kodama & Shibata, 2016; Miller et al, 2014). Moreover, an OIH, as a champion, protects OI projects from status‐quo biases and encourages as well as motivates project members to pursue the goals of OI projects (Chesbrough & Crowther, 2006; Miller et al, 2014; O'Connor & DeMartino, 2006; Wikhamn, 2019).…”

“…The recent emergence of OIHs has attracted scholars' attention because this organizational solution potentially plays a crucial role in fostering OI by triggering and nurturing employees' innovative behaviour at the project level (Bianchi et al, 2016; Miller et al, 2014; O'Connor & DeMartino, 2006). An OIH is an in‐house unit dedicated to supporting and accelerating the company's OI initiatives by helping employees develop OI projects through the provision of various types of services to project members and by championing OI projects in the organization (Kiran & Sharma, 2021; Miller et al, 2014; O'Connor & DeMartino, 2006).…”

“…Many scholars and practitioners have found that a company can nurture and streamline its OI processes by establishing an OIH (Bianchi et al, 2016; Kiran & Sharma, 2021; Kirschbaum, 2005; Kodama & Shibata, 2016; Lichtenthaler, 2008; Miller et al, 2014; Richter et al, 2018; Wikhamn & Styhre, 2019). Accordingly, companies have increasingly adopted this organizational solution in recent years.…”

“…For instance, Fujifilm established an OIH in 2014 to promote and strengthen collaborations between external individuals and Fujifilm's employees, hence promoting a collaborative environment in the whole company (Kodama & Shibata, 2016). Similarly, Cisco established an OIH to connect its employees with potential partners for scouting technologies in new knowledge and market domains (Miller et al, 2014). The OIH provides various services to employees involved in OI projects, including consulting and other support services (Miller et al, 2014).…”

In particular, an OIH may work as a change agent, solving conflicts that often arise when introducing OI in large companies (Wikhamn, 2019).…”

The effectiveness of a company's open innovation (OI) strategy strongly depends on the performance of the innovation projects it launches. However, OI research has dedicated only scant attention to the role played by the behaviour of individuals involved in these projects. This study focuses on the role played by an open innovation hub (OIH), an in‐house unit supporting and accelerating OI initiatives, and investigates how OIHs influence the innovative behaviour of employees involved in innovation projects. In particular, this study employs social cognitive theory as a theoretical lens and investigates the role of project members' collective efficacy. Specifically, we developed two hypotheses that were tested using empirical analysis, with survey data from 134 individuals involved in OI projects and operating in 16 Japanese companies. Our study contributes to the literature by illuminating how the perceived collective efficacy of the employees involved in an innovation project influences their behaviours. We find that the support offered by an OIH strengthens the project members' perceived collective efficacy and, in turn, supports their innovative behaviour.

PurposeThis study aims to empirically analyze the significance of various knowledge management (KM) elements to the environment in a military organization and establish the efficacy of performance indicators of civil organizations for a military organization.Design/methodology/approachThe research methodology includes the development of a research model based on a comprehensive literature review. A sample of 454 Indian Air Force Veterans was obtained and structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis using statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) analysis of moment structures (AMOS) was conducted to test the hypotheses. The study first employed exploratory factor analysis (EFA) for redefining the theoretical constructs and then confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test the hypotheses.FindingsThe study empirically establishes the significance of various KM elements on the knowledge environment that creates, stores, transfers and applies knowledge to achieve military objectives. Findings indicate the complexity of KM in a military setup while applying the performance measures used in the civil organization.Research limitations/implicationsThe study expects to expand the scope of the KM literature to the militaries of developing countries and provide a methodology to the leaders and practitioners in the military organizations, and to study the available KM practices, models and tools in the civil world.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, the present research is one of the first to generate empirical insights into a knowledge environment in military organizations and test its relation with parameters used in civil organizations. The paper would significantly contribute to the underexplored area of KM in military organizations and infuse a theoretical rigor into the KM literature.
