Open Innovation: Learning from Alliance Research

Abstract

This volume examines an important area of potential research: the intersection of strategic alliances and open innovation. Although these two streams of research have developed separately, with distinct assumptions and research questions, there is a natural affinity between them in terms of phenomena, theoretical predictions, and managerial implications. As editor Refik Culpan notes in chapter 2, both streams assume that innovation is collaborative (and often complementary) and that such collaborations are crucial for firms to create and capture value from their innovations.KeywordsOpen InnovationStrategic AllianceStrategic Management JournalAlliance PartnerAlliance ResearchThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
