“…In doing so, we draw on previous research on OI and AC, jointly examining two theoretical approaches which are complementary (Vanhaverbeke & Cloodt, 2014). Also, a notable contribution in this research is the distinction between potential and realized AC and the examination of how each of these dimensions interacts with OI breadth and depth search strategies.…”

“…OI has been researched from a number of perspectives, although linkages to established theories and related phenomena are still emerging (Dahlander and Gann 2010;Vanhaverbeke and Cloodt 2014;West and Bogers 2014;Randhawa, Wilden, and Hohberger 2016). Extant research on OI predominantly addresses the firm (or business unit) as the unit of analysis, while there is a growing recognition that other units of analysis need to be considered as well in order to get a more detailed understanding of the antecedents, processes and outcomes of OI ).…”

The paper is the result of a collaborative process among several OI scholarshaving a common basis in the recurrent Professional Development Workshop on 'Researching Open Innovation' at the Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management. In this paper, we present opportunities for future research on OI, organised at different levels of analysis. We discuss some of the contingencies at these different levels, and argue that future research needs to study OI -originally an organisationallevel phenomenon -across multiple levels of analysis. integrative framework allows comparing, contrasting and integrating various perspectives at different levels of analysis, further theorising will be needed to advance OI research. On this basis, we propose some new research categories as well as questions for future research -particularly those that span across research domains that have so far developed in isolation.

“…Firms can benefit in a variety of ways from opening up their boundaries: for example, they can exploit the complementary assets of their partners, maximise income by selling unused intellectual properties (IP), save on the time and costs for developing innovation, attract potential customers by involving them in the production process, and establish new technology standards by forming partnerships (Dahlander and Gann 2010;Vanhaverbeke and Cloodt 2014;. As OI stresses the flow of information through permeable boundaries, different capacities are required in OI's three process of knowledge flow: (1) in-bound process when knowledge flows into the firm from the outside, (2) out-bound process when internal knowledge flows outside or (3) coupled process when both in-and out-bound process occur at the same time (Gassmann and Enkel 2004;Enkel, Gassmann, and Chesbrough 2009).…”

The literature has shown that open innovation (OI) can be a winning strategy in improving firm performance. However, in order to adopt and implement it, managers need to resolve practical problems, such as understanding the role played by OI capacities and openness on firm performance. In response to these needs, this study aims to investigate the hierarchical relationships between openness, OI capacities and performance using a structural equation model approach. This paper also attempts to compare the levels of openness between firms in different industries to discover similarities and differences in OI phenomena. The analysis of data obtained from a survey of Korean firms shows significant interrelations between openness, OI capacities and firm performance. Our results go further in developing understanding of the building blocks on which successful OI is built and particularly suggest that desorptive capacity which underpins the out-bound OI process, is in turn strongly supported by knowledge management capacity. It is hoped that the results of this study can enrich our understanding of the OI mechanism and provide managerial and policy implications. ARTICLE HISTORY
