Exploring the Logics of Openness and Appropriability in Innovation - Investigating how Firms Manage Value Processes
Innovation today is a multi-actor, multi-technology process in which diverse stakeholders exchange knowledge to jointly—or in distributed ways—pursue research, development, production, commercialization, and market creation. At its core lies the paradox of openness: value creation requires firms to …
