Abstract

While open innovation ecosystems allow a firm to harness external sources of value creation, these external ties can also constrain its ability to adapt its innovation strategy to pursue new opportunities. This article looks at how an incumbent firm approached such constraints, and used cognitive artifacts to transform its value chain into a collaborative ecosystem. It examines the case of a 3D printing-enabled shift to mass customization of orthopedic medical implants. The results demonstrate how firms can use artifacts to build a shared understanding across heterogeneous stakeholders as they explore and develop new open innovation models, and how this process can be managed flexibly to avoid adopting a locally (rather than globally) optimal strategy.

从价值链发展到开放创新生态系统:定制医疗植入物中利益相关者的认知参与

虽然开放式创新生态系统允许企业利用外部价值创造来源，但这些外部联系也会限制其调整创新战略以追求新机会的能力。本文着眼于现有公司如何处理这些约束，并使用认知工件将其价值链转变为协作生态系统。它检查的情况下，3D打印使转移到大规模定制的骨科医疗植入物。研究结果表明，企业在探索和开发新的开放式创新模式时，如何利用工件在异质利益相关者之间建立共同的理解，以及如何灵活管理这一过程，以避免采用局部(而非全局)最优战略。
