Elevating the Work with Inbound Open Innovation; A multiple case study on multinational companies

摘要

Many large companies fail to jump on subsequent technological waves affecting industries intandem with ever-increasing competitive landscapes. To avoid being outcompeted,companies have to stimulate their innovative and explorative capabilities. One way forcompanies to do so is by harnessing the external environment of competent partners that isembedded around the focal company. This way of closely collaborating with externalpartners is called Open Innovation, a term coined by Henry Chesbrough in the early 2000’s.This thesis aims to examine how large multinational companies ought to work with OpenInnovation in order to do so as efficacious as possible. More specifically, it aims to elaborateon what organisational modes of governance and structure, and which partners andpractices, that are beneficial to Open Innovation in the context of large multinationalcompanies. Due to absence of academia within the field of how Open Innovation practicallyshould be managed, a qualitative multiple case study research is being conducted. Largemultinational companies are being interviewed in order investigate if there are any preferableways of working with Open Innovation. The main results of this study are twofold. Firstly,increased top-down governance with greater coordination of Open Innovation by topmanagers seem to be vital for elevating a company’s results of Open Innovation. Secondly,while most companies manage to collaborate with their already established partners such ascustomers and suppliers, they tend to face hardships with harnessing start-ups andinnovation intermediaries. Albeit these two partners are being considered as highly importantto large companies, especially in the recent time, many large companies fail to implementefficient practices for harnessing them. Nonetheless, large companies must deal with thisinevitable challenge in order to stimulate their innovative and explorative capabilities forfostering innovations.
