Abstract

The literature of Open Innovation (OI) has portrayed an important number of cases of large enterprises that are adopting a more open, collaborative and networked model for developing new products, processes, and management models. However, few studies have reported how Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are using this innovation dynamic. To understand the phenomenon of the adoption of OI by SMEs, this study uses the Institutional Work (IW) theoretical lens, aiming to understand how OI is institutionalized in the organizational environment of SMEs. To identify the combination of practices that reinforce OI the QCA methodology was used. As a result, it is highlighted that OI is being reinforced mainly by the institutional practices of creating and maintaining. The research contributes to the literature offering the relationships between OI and IW and presents a combination of managerial practice that can be adopted by SMEs to facilitating the implementation of OI.

作为中小企业，如何成为一个开放的创新者?制度工作分析

开放式创新(OI)的文献描述了大量大型企业采用更加开放、协作和网络化的模式来开发新产品、流程和管理模式的案例。然而，很少有研究报告中小企业(SMEs)如何利用这种创新动态。为了理解中小企业采用OI的现象，本研究使用制度工作(Institutional Work, IW)理论视角，旨在理解OI在中小企业的组织环境中是如何制度化的。为了识别强化OI的实践组合，使用了QCA方法。因此，需要强调的是，OI主要是通过创建和维护的制度实践来加强的。该研究为提供OI与IW之间关系的文献做出了贡献，并提出了中小企业可以采用的管理实践组合，以促进OI的实施。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management. The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning. The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
