“…First, we contribute to innovation management theory by proposing and testing the mediating role of R&D human capital in the effect of APD in firm innovation performance. Open innovation research has largely focused on the environmental context of the firm (e.g., type of industry) (Chesbrough and Crowther, 2006) and organisational factors (e.g., structures, systems and procedures) (Petroni et al, 2011, Ritala et al, 2009); however there is yet little understanding of the APD innovativeness. Recent literature suggests the need to consider and training investments that capture the path-dependency nature effectively learn from external sources George, 2002, Lane et al, 2006).…”

Research has demonstrated the value of external linkages to augment in-house R&D efforts; however, very little is known about how managers can operationally leverage the potential benefits of open innovation to create an innovative edge. This paper examines the value of alliance portfolio diversity and whether R&D human capital is the pathway through which alliance portfolio diversity influences innovation novelty. We reason that the absorptive capacity of R&D human capital alliance portfolios. Using data from the Spanish Technological Innovation Panel (PITEC) for the period 2005 2012, results support the curvilinear (inverted U-shaped) association between alliance portfolio diversity and firm innovation performance reported in studies, suggesting that not only too little, but also too much alliance portfolio diversity may be detrimental to firm innovation performance. Findings emphasise the value of alliance portfolio diversity in high-technology industries to achieve explorative performance objectives, given the technological complexity, market uncertainty and the divergent skill sets required for breakthrough innovations in these sectors. Further, we find evidence that R&D human capital plays an important role in innovation novelty by partially mediating the relationship between alliance partner diversity and firm innovation performance, emphasising the importance of internal capabilities to harness external knowledge assets.This study provides valuable insights to managers aiming to increase the effectiveness of their alliance portfolios.

“…With the implementation of OI, traditional scientists need to take on a new role, integrating scientific knowledge, managerial expertise, and communication and coordination skills (Petroni et al, 2012). A case study of Philips supports the notion that researchers spend less time in laboratories and more time with the business aspects of technology, including negotiating with partners and searching for external ideas (Hacievliyagil and Auger, 2010).…”

How do human resource practices strengthen open innovation (OI)activities? This inductive study of six cases leads to propositions exploring this question, which has not been empirically investigated yet. We investigate the relation between human resource practices and an employee's willingness to embrace OI in six cases that include the perspectives of chief executive officers (CEOs), human resource managers, and experts from Belgium, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom regarding human resource practices in both small and large companies actively pursuing OI. The findings reveal that when implementing OI, it is people's thinking and attitudes

“…In addition to a new structure of R&D, network or matrix organizational models emerge, together with professionals that integrate scientific knowledge and entrepreneurial expertise, the T-men; and as a result, techniques for managing people also tend to change (Petroni et al, 2012).…”

Despite the practice of open innovation being consolidated, scientific publications are still limited, particularly when related to agribusiness. Through bibliometric technique and content analysis, this study aimed to analyze the state of the art on the subject, explaining the development of open innovation in agribusiness and highlight future research opportunities. The risk of sharing valuable knowledge is the main barrier to adoption. For mitigate it, there is a need for internal organizational changes, the support of communication tools and an intellectual property model that encourage knowledge sharing. Open innovation is a field that needs to be explored in different links in the chain, locations and contexts, in order to help ensure that organizations can benefit from this strategy.
