This study explores the phenomenon of open innovation in high tech Korean SMEs. Which mechanisms do lead SMEs to choose a specific model of innovation? The paper includes a literature review as well as an empirical study of internationalized SMEs, based on in-depth interviews, observations, and documents. Open innovation does not always constitute the best model of innovation solution for all SME. This paper proposes a model for assessing the fit between a company and the various models of innovation, and a strategic guide to design an innovation model for successful collaboration with the best partners. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Globalization Globalization is a broad concept used to describe a variety of phenomenon that reflect the developed economic, social, and political interdependence of countries (Nik Ab Halim & Zain, 2011). Despite growing awareness, there is no generally accepted definition and no standard measurement of globalization (Asmussen, Pedersen, & Petersen, 2007). We define in this paper globalization as the efficient movement of goods, services, capital, people, and ideas across national borders (Little & Green, 2009). Globalization translates into a large range of business modalities for organizations that share a common trait: something or someone is crossing borders.

“…It has been substantiated that the entry of MNEs into foreign markets is impacted by the home and host country's institutional environment (Johnson, Arya, & Mirchandani 2013). And the host country's institutional environment, in particular, has a principal effect on entry mode choice (Hitt et al, 2016;Holmes et al, 2013;Meyer et al, 2009), which is especially precarious in developing world markets with weaker institutional oversight, transparency, and overall regulatory capacity (Meyer et al, 2009).…”

“…Therefore, when expanding outside their home country, MNCs have two options. The first option is to build their activities around similarities across markets, a strategy referred to as a "global strategy" [10,52,56,58]. This choice has benefits such as economies of scale, global sourcing advantages [6], and greater control through centralized decision-making [117].…”
