The concept of open innovation (OI) has become a very popular topic
during the last decade, with increasing number of SMEs embracing OI
practices to gain competitive advantage. This edited volume is a
timely opportunity to gather research on OI in SMEs, to investigate
how OI is managed and implemented to determine the peculiarities
compared to OI management in large companies, and to specify the
consequences for future OI research.The book offers insights into
the following topics: The state of the art on open innovation in
SMEs; adopting open innovation in SMEs; interorganizational
networks and innovation ecosystems; sectoral patterns of open
innovation in SMEs; and measuring, evaluating and stimulating open
innovation in SMEs.
The concept of open innovation (OI) has become a very popular topic
during the last decade, with an increasing number of small- and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) embracing OI practices to gain
competitive advantage. With the majority of publications focusing
on large firms, open innovation in SMEs has received scant
attention from both scholars and practitioners. This book seeks to
correct this imbalance by providing an in-depth study for both
business managers and graduate-level students. Using rich, in-depth
case studies from successful companies, it examines different
approaches to managing OI in order to develop practical guidelines
for implementation. It also highlights important differences
between OI strategies in SMEs and large companies. Its findings
will be of use to those studying or working in innovation
management, open innovation, small business management and
entrepreneurship.

Open Innovation describes an emergent model of innovation in which
firms draw on research and development that may lie outside their
own boundaries. In some cases, such as open source software, this
research and development can take place in a non-proprietary
manner. Henry Chesbrough and his collaborators investigate this
phenomenon, linking the practice of innovation to the established
body of innovation research, showing what's new and what's familiar
in the process. Offering theoretical explanations for the use (and
limits) of open innovation, the book examines the applicability of
the concept, implications for the boundaries of firms, the
potential of open innovation to prove successful, and implications
for intellectual property policies and practices. The book will be
key reading for academics, researchers, and graduate students of
innovation and technology management.
