This paper contributes to the open innovation literature by presenting a successful application of the open innovation approach in the maritime sector between Fincantieri (FC), one of the world’s largest shipbuilding groups, and the National Research Council of Italy (CNR, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche), the largest research entity in Italy. By using external sources of scientific innovation, specifically 10 different groups of researchers from CNR research institutes and three universities, and by integrating these groups with a team of expert Fincantieri’s designers, the company obtained significant advances in terms of technological content and competitiveness. This collaboration is an evident example of successful implementation of the open innovation paradigm, where a big company (Fincantieri) uses external sources of innovation (the CNR researchers) to advance its technology by carrying out six different projects simultaneously. The paper presents the adopted open innovation model, the governance approach specifically implemented by the company and the major scientific contents and outcomes of the constellation of the six connected projects.

The Cardano edition from the Consiglio nazionale delle ricerche has been a wasted opportunity. It shows the lack of an accurate systematic approach that led to the Cardano Project ending in fialure. The project had been fostered by the “National research council Center for the study of philosophical thought in the 16th and 17th centuries in relation to scientific questions”, set up by Mario Dal Pra. The aim had been for it to prepare a critical edition of the works of the doctor, mathematician, astrologist and philosopher Girolamo Cardano (Pavia 1501-Rome 1576).

Innovation Model

Open innovation shows a new direction for Chinese enterprises to innovate indigenously. Chinese enterprises actively adopt an open innovation model, make full use of external innovation resources, and integrate internal and external resources to promote innovation. This chapter describes the conditions of openness in the process of innovation in Chinese enterprises. Based on the conditions of openness, this chapter elaborates modes for the organization of open innovation in Chinese enterprises, including users being involved in innovation, suppliers participating in innovation, collaborations with firms in other industries and competitors, cooperation with universities and research institutes, intellectual property licensing, mergers and acquisitions, and setup of overseas research and development (R&D) branches. For each mode, this chapter introduces a corresponding case of open innovation practice in enterprise in China. Open innovation provides access to more ideas than could be developed in-house. With an open vision to integrate global innovation resources, Chinese firms’ innovation capability has been greatly enhanced.

The Right

In modern business reality, given a tendency towards digitalization of the economy, expanding network cooperation and the increasing role of knowledge and technology transfer, the principles of interaction between actors of innovation process are changing drastically. These factors determine a shift from the traditional “closed” innovation model towards open innovation practice. The advantages of open innovation activities are widely discussed, however, a large number of enterprises, involved in such projects face various challenges in managing open innovation. Thus, from a managerial perspective, it is essential for modern companies to find the right balance between benefits and potentially negative consequences of the open innovation model. Although it is an important issue for innovative enterprises to analyse possible risks and benefits of participation in open innovation projects, appropriate managerial instruments of exploring opportunities and threats of such collaboration are still not sufficiently researched. The purpose of the paper is to improve the typology of a company’s open innovation activities and to explore the opportunities and potential risks of open innovation in modern organizations. Methodology. To achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the research, the following scientific methods were used: structural-logical analysis, comparative analysis, systematization, formalization, graphical method. The results of the research show that companies need to develop specific innovation capabilities related to knowledge management in order to provide successful implementation of open innovation: knowledge absorptive capability, knowledge sharing capability and knowledge co-creation capability. A theoretical framework for understanding the linkages between a firm’s organizational capabilities related to knowledge management is offered as a result of the study. The improved typology of a company’s open innovation activities in accordance with the direction of knowledge flows (inbound or outbound) is presented. Based on research findings key potential risks of open innovation practice are systematized which include primarily loss of core knowledge and technologies, problems in protecting intellectual property and complexity in managing interactions with collaboration partners. Practical implications. From a managerial standpoint as a result of the conducted research, the main opportunities and risks of open innovation are defined, which should be taken into account in order to make the right decision on this type of collaboration. Appropriate managerial countermeasures are proposed in the paper to be practically applied to prevent risks of open innovation implementation. Value/originality. The improved typology of a company’s open innovation activities in accordance with the direction of knowledge flows (inbound or outbound) is presented, as well as main risks and managerial challenges of open innovation practice are systematized.

Despite that research on open innovation keeps in growing, applications in Startups are still incipient, especially in Brazil. Thus, this paper aims to describe and analyze the challenges of open innovation in technology-based Startups, seeking reinforcing and restrictive factors involved for external sources of knowledge. The study considered two startups on which were considered two main categories: i) Search by external sources and ii) Motivation and Background. The results indicated that the main Reinforcing or Fostering factor was the support being given by a University infrastructure as well as the one regarding the search for sources of funding and internal competencies needed by Startups. In turn, there were legal and bureaucratic problems regarding transfer and negotiation with external sources, these in addition to the fear of sharing knowledge and inner experiences in the context of open innovation were the main restrictive factors. So it seems that there are serious limits in trying to apply the Open Innovation Model in the case of Startups in Brazil due to structural, cultural and legal limitations.

Public research organizations need to increasingly engage in open innovation processes besides classic collaboration with industry and public-private partnerships. In this study, the effectiveness of an open innovation approach is examined in three bio-economy cases set up by a public research institute, as well as the factors influencing the implementation of the approach. The results indicate that an open innovation approach can yield many beneficial outcomes in a public research context, despite a great many detrimental influencing factors. These identified adverse factors can be aggregated into four key areas, the organizational structure and culture being the prevalent. The results and the derived implications contribute to the further understanding of managerial challenges experienced when implementing open innovation to practice, deliver insights towards the applicability of open innovation in a public research environment and provide a first understanding on how the approach performs in the context of the transition towards a bioeconomy.

Innovation Process Models With Emphasis on Open Innovation ModelThis article presents different models of innovation processes and focuses in particular on the open innovation. The empirical part is based on the findings on the innovation cooperation of enterprises in the EU and OECD (these data, among others, determine the open innovation). At the end of the article there is a case study of Nokia which implements the open innovation in its innovation activity. The aim of this article is to present the paradigm of the open innovation processes. This approach concentrates on sharing knowledge, i.e. making new solutions available to other units by means of e.g. license sale. The open innovation business model takes advantage of both internal and external sources of ideas without a fear that a company's own ideas when transferred to another organization will lead to the company's loss of profits coming from this idea. The formal framework of an organization is just a symbolic one and makes the flow of knowledge between the organization and its environment possible. The enterprises that adopt the open innovation strategy both enthusiastically develop ideas which were created by others as well as make their own ideas available to other organizations that find them more interesting.
