“…In contrast, when firms are called to find a specific solution to a given problem, as in the solution‐finding phase, more structured and formalized approaches appear suitable, such as allying with other organizations (Bonesso et al . ; Colombo et al . ; Padula ; Sammarra and Biggiero ).…”

The view of innovation as a process of searching and recombining existing knowledge elements has been adopted in several industries. The innovation management literature has recognized the fundamental role that search and recombination play in innovation development. However, the relevant research has provided complex, fragmented and mixed results. The authors aim to identify areas of convergence and provide directions for future research by collecting empirical evidence regarding how firms conduct the search and recombination process. They conducted a systematic literature review of 87 empirical articles in the innovation management field. The review reveals differences among the solutions adopted both within and across organizational boundaries. Specifically, it shows that the variety and diversity of knowledge elements are critical in creating breakthrough innovations. Therefore, this paper discusses how to provide access to a variety of knowledge elements. It also highlights other fundamental questions calling for further investigation, such as how scientific knowledge elements are successfully recombined and how recombination and search dynamics occur in small and medium-sized firms. The review concludes by summarizing the current state of affairs and suggests promising directions for future investigation.

“…The majority of publications focus either on (1) the determinants/ antecedents of firms' openness to external sources of knowledge or (2) (Keupp and Gassmann 2009), firms' appropriability strategy (Moon 2011), firms' absorptive capacity (Bogers and Lhuillery 2011), the type of knowledge concerned (Bonesso et al 2011) and the complementarity between firms' external and internal R&D (Cassiman and Valentini 2009;Choi 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.

“…Moreover, the trend for R&D outsourcing strategies based on their interorganisational collaboration is a growing interest in the current debate and its patterns have changed quite considerably (Bonesso, Comacchio, and Pizzi 2014;Huang, Chung, and Lin 2009;Knudsen and Mortensen 2011).…”

This study examined the moderating effects of two kinds of internal R&D (parent R&D and subsidiary R&D) on the relationship between local R&D outsourcing and subsidiary productivity as internal R&D challenges the collaborative relationships in the local environment. Due to the specific feature of a subsidiary mandate, we further investigate whether two distinct kinds of internal R&D have different moderating effects between exploitation-oriented subsidiaries and exploration-oriented subsidiaries, based on a sample of longitudinal data set of 263 Taiwan-based manufacturing subsidiaries over the period 2006-2009. The empirical results show that for exploitation-oriented subsidiaries parent R&D plays a significant and negative moderating role on the impact of local R&D outsourcing based on local collaboration, while a positive moderating role is observed with parent R&D and subsidiary R&D for exploration-oriented subsidiaries.
