Methodological Procedures

Software is ubiquitous in an information-based society. Market complexity requires companies to employ open innovation, incorporating external knowledge and providing knowledge to its’ partners. It is aimed to investigate the characteristics of international scientific literature on open innovation and software development, their theoretical affinities and the most relevant authors. As methodological procedures, bibliographic coupling is used, with Social Network Analysis principles, verifying: references in common between papers on this theme, production by country and its annual average. As a result, it is evident that developed countries have higher production on the topic, despite the low annual average. The most referenced papers discuss profitability strategies using open source code. It is concluded that open innovation enables software companies to share knowledge and contribute to the development of society

Studies on open innovation (OI) have highlighted the importance of inter-organizational knowledge networks. However, little is known about OI networks established by family firms, and their roles in such knowledge networks. By focusing on one of the most important Italian footwear clusters, this paper applies Social Network Analysis to investigate the role of family firms in exchanging knowledge according to their intra-cluster position and extra-cluster openness. Our results provide novel evidence on the role of family firms in OI networks, as they suggest that family firms mainly operate as gatekeepers in the technological and managerial networks, while they act as external stars in the market and managerial networks.
