Open Innovation: Researching A New Paradigm
... The resource-based perspective distinguishes between resources that are not organization-specific and can be obtained in the market, and capabilities, which correspond to specific skills for integrating, deploying, and utilizing resources (Mikalef & Gupta, 2021). In particular, open innovation serves as a mechanism that enables the integration of external knowledge, ideas, and technology into the organization's resource base (Moretti & Biancardi, 2020), as well as the unique combination of internal and external resources to create market value (William Chesbrough & Vanhaverbeke, 2008). Thus, open innovation allows the organization's response to market changes to be unique and non-substitutable . ...
... Open innovation plays a pivotal role in this process by enabling firms to incorporate external knowledge, ideas, and technology into their resource base (Moretti & Biancardi, 2020). By uniquely integrating internal and external resources, organizations can generate market value (William Chesbrough & Vanhaverbeke, 2008) and develop responses to market dynamics that are both distinctive and non-substitutable . ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) will be performing 30% of creative and knowledge-intensive tasks by the year 2030. The use of affordable user-friendly generative AI, such as ChatGPT, has consequently experienced a significant surge within the corporate sector. Concurrently, it is assumed that human expertise, which refers to the business and technical knowledge in AI of individuals, is gradually losing its significance. However, until recently, human expertise was regarded as the primary catalyst for the positive effect of open innovation on organizational agility. Hence, this study aims to examine the mediating effect of AI capability on the relationship between open innovation and organizational agility, particularly in the presence of human expertise. The moderated mediation was tested with survey data. The main finding reveals that 93% of the variance of agility is explained by the effect of open innovation that is transmitted by the mediator. Moreover, human expertise only moderates the pathway between AI capability and organizational agility. The study offers a realistic understanding of the role of individuals in the context of increased use of AI in firms, in contrast to prior research that predicted an abrupt substitution of personnel with AI. AI capability, particularly generative AI (Gen-AI), is essential for the efficient generation of innovation ideas and prototypes, as well as the identification of unconventional commercial exploitation routes by leveraging data from external sources. Nevertheless, human expertise is essential to extract more accurate and contextually relevant outcomes from Gen-AI.
... Open Innovation (OI) has captured the attention and efforts of scholars and industry practitioners, who have noticed a shift from closed to open models (Chesbrough 2003;Chesbrough et al. 2006). OI assumes that firms leverage internal and external ideas and paths to market and thus create better opportunities to innovate (Bigliardi et al. 2021;Bogers et al. 2018;Smart et al. 2019). ...
In the current environment of high volumes of data, large established firms are looking for new ways of gaining a competitive advantage through Open Innovation (OI). Sharing unstructured data represents such an opportunity. However, the literature is scarce in understanding how to attract this data and realize more value within the OI funnel. We thus investigated a business model illustrating how large research‐intensive firms can use it to support data sharing for OI. We interviewed 25 professionals in an OI project between a global pharma organization focused on the animal health market, a UK‐based university, and data science firms. Firstly, we provide evidence of the role of data sharing in OI for extracting value. Secondly, we theorize a business model that supports data sharing for inbound and outbound OI using three stages of value realization. We welcome further research to confirm or extend our findings in other industrial settings.
... Recognizing the limitations of solely focusing on internal resources, many firms have turned their attention to open innovation [10][11][12][13][14].

In the context of the global environment, the rapid advancement of Internet technology has facilitated a transition from traditional offline to online modes for corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities, leading to the emergence of virtual CSR co-creation initiatives. A crucial challenge for enterprises engaging in such activities lies in enhancing consumer participation and retention rates. This study constructs a mediation effect model incorporating emotional factors, interaction factors, social presence, and consumer willingness to participate, grounded in the Stimulus–Organism–Response (S-O-R) model. Based on data collected from 232 consumers in China, this study reveals that identification, enthusiasm, and satisfaction exert positive influences on consumer willingness to participate. Additionally, social presence positively affects willingness to participate and acts as a mediator between community platform interaction, offline interaction, and willingness to participate.

Making educated decisions regarding resource management, conservation, and sustainable development requires an understanding of these ecosystems Chesbrough et al., 2006). Therefore, this approach has recently been used for organizational, social, and economic systems by inspiring an ecological approach. ...
The contemporary world is characterized by accelerating innovations in a dense knowledge pool which is a byproduct of networked relationships in a complex ecosystem. In this manner, open innovation has become a revolutionary paradigm in the quickly changing innovation landscape by encouraging cooperation, cross-disciplinary information exchange, and idea co-creation. When used in complex ecosystems, this strategy enhances the intangible capital by amplifying the collective intelligence of many players. Today it is evident that open environments for knowledge, provide higher rates of innovation and hence more productivity and comparative advantage. Following the critical importance of the concept, this study tries to highlight the mutual beneficial interaction between open innovation principles in knowledge networks and complex ecosystems, by using a comprehensive and systematic literature review. In this context, this study underlines the increasing importance and attention of open innovation practices within intricate ecosystems. It emphasizes the need to manage intellectual property, facilitate cooperation and continue skill development as crucial policy elements to build an environment favorable to effective open innovation across complex ecosystems. In the light of the related literature, it seeks to offer insights for organizations by exploring the relationship between OI and complex ecosystems. Hence, the study contributes to the related literature by underlying the interplay between open innovation in complex ecosystems and the role of knowledge networks.
Higher Education Institutions can play a crucial role in tackling today’s complex societal challenges through their innovation capacity. This capacity could be further unleashed by leveraging their vast knowledge base and opportunities for experimentation, collaboration, and co-creation on campus sites. In this regard, Living Labs represent a promising approach to solving complex social problems and are already being used in many Higher Education Institutions worldwide. However, there remains a need for a comprehensive understanding of their implications and implementation requirements, particularly when Higher Education Institutions aim to structurally harness their sustainable transformation potential beyond single initiatives. As such, there is a growing demand for concepts and tools that allow Higher Education Institutions to move from facilitating individual living lab initiatives to a more comprehensive approach. Responding to this demand, this chapter aims to support Higher Education Institutions in establishing the Campus as a Living Lab. Drawing on insights from an international Community of Practice, existing literature, and case studies, we offer a conceptualization of the “Campus as a Living Lab,” distinct from the traditional approach of individual living lab initiatives. The Campus as a Living Lab is a comprehensive, connected, and firmly embedded approach, striving to create synergies, knowledge exchange, and cross-fertilization. The whole campus and the organization are understood as a living lab, providing fertile ground for sustainable experimentation and innovation. We clarify the development stages of implementing this approach and introduce a practical tool for launching the Campus as a Living Lab, adaptable to diverse contexts. This chapter encourages Higher Education Institutions to transition from hosting stand-alone living labs and experiments to an integrated approach, enabling them to utilize their unique position to make significant contributions to sustainable transformation processes.
