Cultivating outside-out open innovation: How a corporate accelerator orchestrates its ecosystem
The outside-out mode of open innovation (OI) has recently been conceptualized to emphasize the influence of ecosystems on innovation outcomes. However, the impact of ecosystems on this emerging mode remains poorly understood, and the constituents, including underlying mechanisms, actors, practices, and actual outcomes of outside-out OI require further exploration. Adopting an in-depth case study approach, this paper investigates outside-out OI wi…
Unlocking SME innovation success through sequenced collaboration
This study examines how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) sequence their open innovation (OI) activities over the course of individual innovation projects. Moving beyond static firm-level analyses, we explore the dynamics of partner engagement and value capture in 106 European SMEs. Using a dataset of 500 OI activities—termed “OI moves”—we identify patterns that combine partner type and exploitation mode. By comparing more and less succes…
Stakeholder engagement processes for the made in Italy small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises: Value co‐creation in the stakeholder network
This article aims to explore the role of stakeholder engagement in partnerships and the effects that it has on small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises' (SMEs) competitiveness and their ability to expand into foreign markets. This study employs a qualitative approach to research by gathering empirical data from nine SMEs that have engaged in a partnership fostered by a digital platform that operates as an online sales channel. Our study reveals that S…
Opening Up Open Innovation: Drawing the Boundaries
Two main arguments are developed in this chapter. First, the chapter tackles the asymmetry in roles of outside-in and inside-out open innovation (OI) in the literature. Outside-in OI is assumed to play predominantly a strategic role. In contrast, inside-out OI has been predominantly perceived to have a financial return: It is a mechanism to allow underutilized ideas to go outside the organization for others to deploy them in their businesses. Thi…
Overcoming Organizational Obstacles to Open Innovation Success
Open innovation is a powerful organizational concept that has been used extensively to explain various phenomena within the area of innovation management. There are, however, different organizational obstacles that have the potential to limit firms’ ability to apply the principles of open innovation successfully, for example, the link with corporate and business-level strategies might be unclear or missing, and different capabilities and manageme…
The Future of Open Innovation
For the past two decades, Open Innovation has been a promising and useful concept for guiding academics, practitioners, and policymakers. The applied nature of Open Innovation and its very diverse, inclusive, and open community made it stand out from other theories, concepts, and paradigms. Even though Open Innovation has been studied in different modes, contexts, and on different levels of analysis, it is not a theory of everything. This chapter…
Open Innovation in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
Open Innovation (OI) has proven to be important for the survival and growth not only of large corporations and multinationals but also of small firms and medium-sized enterprises. The way small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have to organize and manage OI is also different from that of large companies. This chapter will provide an overview of the current literature highlighting the main OI practices in SMEs and describe their benefits, chall…
The Oxford Handbook of Open Innovation
This Handbook is the first reference created for the large, diverse, and growing field of Open Innovation. Four editors, 75 reviewers, and 136 contributors collaboratively developed 57 handbook chapters. These present the current state of the growing body of work in Open Innovation from leading scholars and researchers in the field. It brings together 48 chapters on academic aspects of the theory, and 9 chapters that show Open Innovation in pract…

Open strategizing for developing smart city food system: Stakeholder inclusion in practice
The positive impact of stakeholder engagement (SE) in smart city development initiatives has received notable scholarly attention over the past decade. Researchers of stakeholder engagement have investigated various aspects of the engagement process from different theoretical perspectives, yet the complexity and dynamism of inclusion, especially at the societal level and in the context of smart city development, continue to inspire more research.…
Leveraging blockchain for energy transition in urban contexts
This article explores the potential of leveraging blockchain technology to facilitate energy transition within urban settings. It explores three innovative market models—peer-to-peer, community self-consumption, and transactive energy—which hold promise for a shift in (local) electricity trading due to decentralized and digital transactional characteristics. Utilizing a scenario building framework, this research scrutinizes these market models, t…
Beekeeping in Tanzania: Why is beekeeping not commercially viable in Mvomero
Beekeeping is a long established economic activity in Tanzania. It contributes to the national economy by generating some US$ 19 million per annum and employing more than two million people. Beekeeping produces food and medicines, makes a significant contribution to bio-diversity, and encourages agricultural production through pollination. Moreover, more than 50% of Tanzania is covered by forests suitable for beekeeping. This potential is not ful…
Influence of institutions on value creation activities of micro and small enterprises in rural Tanzania
Economic development initiatives in Tanzania recognise the importance of enterprises in the country’s economy. Similarly, rural entrepreneurship has the potential to stimulate the rural economy. The promotion of rural entrepreneurship can help to fulfil that potential, with creation of value for customers as one of the promotion initiatives. Institutions govern the value creation activities of enterprises. By focusing on the wood furniture indust…

Open Innovation
In the past 10 years, numerous interesting articles, book chapters, and books have been written on open innovation strategies in mainly large companies. While closed innovation models have resulted in important breakthrough innovations, many large companies have abandoned vertical integration strategies in recent years and have moved toward a combination of both closed and open innovation models that are used for reaching different sets of innova…

The economics of rural areas in the proximity of urban networks: Evidence from Flanders
Flanders is a densely populated, strongly urbanised region in Northwest Europe, but with still recognisable peri‐urban rural territories. These territories have a distinct economic profile that is far from being marginal, but which has a diminishing role for agriculturally related economic activities. From a regionally‐based economic approach, the authors argue that these rural areas act as flanking areas for the nearby urban areas, with mutual b…
