“…A challenge for companies using content communities is sharing copyright-protected material (Kaplan and Haenlein 2010). Angehrn, Luccini, and Maxwell (2009) explored the use of video-based communities in the context of the enterprise as a means to support and boost innovation processes. In practical terms, this approach relies on the video-based social platform InnoTube that consists of four coupled environments: a video exchange channel, a network visualization and navigation tool, a profiles space, and a connection games space.…”

By using social media, many companies try to exploit new forms of interaction, collaboration, and knowledge sharing through leveraging the social, collaborative dimension of social software. The traditional collective knowledge management model based on a topdown approach is now opening up new avenues for a bottom-up approach incorporating a more personal knowledge management dimension, which could be synergized into collective knowledge using the social-collaborative dimension of social media. This article addresses the following questions: (1) How can social media support the management of personal and collective knowledge using a synergetic approach? (2) Do the personal and collective dimensions compete with each other, or can they reinforce each other in a more effective manner using social media?Our findings indicate that social media supports both the personal and collective dimensions of knowledge, while integrating a social collaborative dimension. The article introduces a framework that classifies social software into four categories according to the level of interaction and control. With certain tools, individuals are more in control. With other tools, the group is in control, resulting in a higher level of interaction and a diversity of knowledge and mindsets brought together. However, deploying and adopting these new tools in an organizational context is still a challenging task for management, owing to both organizational and individual factors.

“…The objective of a knowledge transfer process which takes place between two or more actors (individuals or organisations) is to enable an actor to acquire the knowledge of another actor (Albino et al, 1998). Knowledge can be shared through joint engagement in social practices among groups, organizational units, and even the firm (von Krogh, 2012); however, this could be further complicated by the fact that the 6 professional environment is increasingly virtual as globally dispersed organizational and inter-organizational teams collaborate on R&D innovative projects (Angehrn et al, 2009 (Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1991). The process of knowledge transfer has been described by many researchers using different models; among these one of the most known is the knowledge conversion model introduced by Nonaka and Takeuchi (1995), distinguishing between tacit and explicit knowledge (Koulopoulos and Frappaolo, 1999;Polanyi, 1975).…”

Purpose. This paper investigates the role of design as a knowledge translation mechanism in R&D-oriented open innovation. In particular, the paper intends to look at how design can be used as a means of knowledge transfer among various stakeholders who speak different languages and have divergent needs and interests in a process where knowledge openly flew across the boundaries of a high number of organizations.Methods. The paper combines the insights from theory with the empirical evidence gathered by adopting an extreme case study approach: the detailed analysis of a case study related to an R&D project funded by the European Commission and aimed to investigate and produce innovative serious games in the area of healthcare. The project gathered a large number of stakeholders and deliberately adopted design processes in order to support an open innovation approach.Findings. The paper provides insights into the use of design outputs such as artifacts, sketches, visual representations or prototypes in order to translate ideas, theoretical and technical requirements, documents and outputs into formats that can be more easily understood and appreciated by various stakeholders. This supports and favors coordination in open innovation projects where many different stakeholders are engaged. Research limitations.Although the adoption of an extreme case study approach offers important implications to understand the role of design in R&D-oriented open innovation, the use of single case study represents the basis both to explore hypothesis and to provide first evidences, that need to be further tested with other qualitative and quantitative analysis.Practical implications. The paper offers practical implications about how design can help individuals and organizations involved in R&D activities to better communicate and share knowledge among various stakeholders by aligning their different needs, interests and languages along the various phases of their project development.Originality/value. The originality of the paper lays at the intersection of three different fields: open innovation, knowledge management and design for innovation, thus 2 integrating mature, but so far isolated research streams. It provides insights for theory building by explaining the use of design as knowledge translational mechanism and informs the practice by highlighting the power of design as a means to support knowledge flows into open innovation-based R&D projects.

“…Many contributions focus on the motivation of users in participating in communities/platforms (Spaeth et al 2010;Frey et al 2011;Füller et al 2011;Battistella and Nonino 2012;Füller et al 2012), the identification of key participants (Fleming and Waguespack 2007;Fichter 2009) and the effects of users' contributions on contemporary platform development (Boudreau 2012). Other contributions present concrete cases to illustrate the frameworks and business models that have proven successful in benefitting from the contributions of users (Angehrn et al 2009;Ebner et al 2009;Hildrum 2009;Kohler et al 2009;Leimeister et al 2009;Lohmann et al 2009;Adenbanjo and Michaelides 2011;Basole and Karla 2011;De Couvreur and Goossens 2011;Faraj et al 2011;Hutter et al 2011;Kohler et al 2011;Tickle et al 2011;Bullinger et al 2012;Feller et al 2012;Parjanen et al 2012;Shu and Chuang 2012;Ye et al 2012). Finally, the remaining publications clarify the meaning of user communities (West and Lakhani 2008) and crowdsourcing (Marjanovic et al 2012), and position these concepts within the broader frame of collaborative innovation (Baldwin and von Hippel 2011) and the private-collective model of innovation (von Hippel and von Krogh 2006;Garriga et al 2012).…”

Exploring the scope of open innovation: a bibliometric review of a decade of research

The concept of open innovation has attracted considerable attention since Henry Chesbrough first coined it to capture the increasing reliance of firms on external sources of innovation. Although open innovation has flourished as a topic within innovation management research, it has also triggered debates about the coherence of the research endeavors pursued under this umbrella, including its theoretical foundations. In this paper, we aim to contribute to these debates through a bibliometric review of the first decade of open innovation research. We combine two techniques-bibliographic coupling and co-citation analysis-to (1) visualize the network of publications that explicitly use the label 'open innovation' and (2) to arrive at distinct clusters of thematically related publications. Our findings illustrate that open innovation research builds principally on four related streams of prior research, whilst the bibliographic network of open innovation research reveals that seven thematic clusters have been pursued persistently. While such persistence is undoubtedly useful to arrive at in-depth and robust insights, the observed patterns also signal the absence of new, emerging, themes. As such, 'open innovation' might benefit from applying its own ideas: sourcing concepts and models from a broader range of theoretical perspectives as well as pursuing a broader range of topics might introduce dynamics resulting in more impact and proliferation.
