Abstract

This article identifies barriers that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) encounter when they openly innovate, according to the open innovation (OI) mode used (inbound, outbound, coupled). A qualitative analysis—involving seven case studies of SMEs active in digital (high-tech) or social economy (low-tech) sectors—reveals that they face more internal than external OI barriers. Overall, the nature of the barriers does not vary across OI modes, but their intensity does. With regard to external barriers, the results reveal a “tribe syndrome,” such that SMEs resist opening up to other firms that do not share the same values.

中小企业开放创新：应用壁垒法

本文根据所使用的开放创新模式（入境、出境、耦合），确定了中小企业在公开创新时遇到的障碍。一项定性分析——涉及活跃在数字（高科技）或社会经济（低技术）部门的中小企业的七个案例研究——表明它们面临的内部OI障碍多于外部OI障碍。总的来说，障碍物的性质在OI模式之间没有变化，但其强度确实存在。关于外部壁垒，研究结果揭示了一种“部落综合症”，即中小企业拒绝向其他价值观不同的公司开放。
