Abstract
Culture, in its various forms, has always been a critical driver of innovation. This paper focuses on generating some insights into the role of “culture for open innovation dynamics”. First, because the requirement to understand culture, which can control open innovation complexity, has been augmented, we want to answer the following research question in this study: How can we define or organize “culture for open innovation dynamics”, which can motivate open innovation dynamics, and control open innovation complexity? Second, we propose a concept model of culture for open innovation dynamics by reviewing the literature on the culture of firms in terms of their traits, organization, static innovation, and dynamic aspects regarding their innovation in entrepreneurship, and we validate said model through an indirect social experiment using the research results of 23 Special Issue papers. Third, the concept model of culture for open innovation dynamics is explained as the interaction between three different entrepreneurship dimensions: Entrepreneurship of novice entrepreneurs, intrapreneurship of employees of an existing firm, and organizational entrepreneurship by the firm itself. According to the balance of three sub-entrepreneurship types, culture for open innovation dynamics can have different aspects, namely, entrepreneurship leading culture for open innovation dynamics, intrapreneurship leading culture for open innovation dynamics, or organizational entrepreneurship leading culture for open innovation dynamics. This paper helps organizations and entrepreneurs to better understand the role that culture plays in boosting open innovation dynamics.
Highlights
This study organized the culture for open innovation dynamics through a comprehensive literature review on the culture traits in firms, firm-level culture, static open innovation culture, and the dynamic aspects of firm culture in diverse entrepreneurship
Culture for open innovation dynamics is the result of interactions among entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship, and organizational entrepreneurship
Because this concept model was developed from well-accumulated dynamic culture aspects of diverse entrepreneurship, there is no need to define culture for open innovation dynamics
Summary
On the one hand, the use of external knowledge sources to accelerate internal innovation and, on the other hand, the use of external paths to reach the internal knowledge market [1]. In the 4th Industrial Revolution, the dynamics of open innovation are rapidly increasing with the explosion of the open innovation paradox, which means open innovation complexity [5,6,7,8]. In this situation, the requirement to understand culture, which can control open innovation dynamics, is being augmented. We want to answer the following research question in this study: How can we define or organize the culture for open innovation dynamics, which can motivate open innovation dynamics, and control the open innovation paradox or open innovation complexity?. As open innovation is becoming a dominant paradigm in the knowledge-based economy [11], the requirement of culture for open innovation dynamics, which can motivate open innovation dynamics itself and can decrease the cost of open innovation dynamics, known as innovation complexity or the open innovation paradox, is in the rocket-shooting stage for firms, non-profits organizations, small and medium sized enterprises(SMEs), big businesses, and so on
