“…Research suggests that inbound OI practices can increase a firm's return on innovation (Huizingh, 2011;Laursen and Salter, 2006;Tomlinson, 2010). However, following Gassman and Enkel (2004), in order to make the most of the inbound activities, firms need to be able to understand and integrate the external knowledge into the firm's routines (i.e., absorptive capacity).…”

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to extend our knowledge into the relationship between open innovation and firm innovative performance. Specifically, we aim to determine whether the benefits of OI practices are different for Food and Beverage (FnB) firms as compared to those of other sectors. The FnB industry is relevant in terms of employment GDP generation in the UE, characterised by high integration and low-tech intensity. Methodology: In order to achieve our goal and obtain robust results, we consider four open innovation dimensions and four innovation performance measures using panel data (2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011) from 10,771 FnB and non-FnB firms using Tobit and Logit models by random effects. Findings: We test and confirm the presence of the classical inverted U-shape relationship between OI and firm innovative performance for FnB and non-FnB companies. However, the optimal number of external sources of knowledge used is lesser for FnB than the rest of the companies. Originality: The article compares the OI effects in a tradicional and low-tech industry vs other industries considering four innovation outputs (product innovations, process innovations, incremental and radical innovation).

“…This suggests two implications in terms of networks theories that seek to explain firm level differences in rates of innovation (Freel 2000b;Freel and Harrison 2006;Rogers 2004;Ozman 2009;Pittaway et al 2004;Tomlinson 2010). First, they may benefit from conceptualising inter-firm and inter-organisational networks as a form of capital asset that allows access to external knowledge resources.…”

Entrepreneurship, innovation and regional growth: a network theory

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Despite the growing acknowledgement that entrepreneurship is an important driver of regional innovation and growth, the role of the networks in these processes has been less formally examined. In order to address this gap, this paper proposes that the relationship between entrepreneurship, innovation and regional growth is governed by a series of network dynamics. Drawing upon aspects of endogenous growth theory and the knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship, it is proposed that the nature of the networks formed by entrepreneurial firms is a key determinant of regional growth differentials. In particular, network capital, in the form of investments in strategic relations to gain access to knowledge, is considered to mediate the relationship between entrepreneurship and innovation-based regional growth. It is suggested that network dynamics should be further incorporated into theories concerning the link between knowledge spillovers, entrepreneurship and regional growth. The paper concludes with a series of theoretical, entrepreneurial and policy implications emerging from the study.

“…Conjointly with these relationships the model suggested that innovation capabilities accumulated by the firm, which are directly linked to the capacity to produce a satisfactory innovation performance, improves the financial performance, specially growth, which agreed with the findings of several empirical studies (e.g. DU et al, 2014;FAEMS et al, 2010;TOMLINSON, 2010;YAMAKAWA et al,2011).…”
