TLDR
In this article, a large-scale survey sample of 496 German manufacturing companies from different industries was analyzed by applying structural equation modeling to find evidence for a positive association between the three mentioned constructs and innovation success.Abstract:
The concept or paradigm of open innovation has gained more and more attention over the last couple of years. Firms see open innovation nowadays as an important capability to build and maintain innovativeness, even in dynamic global markets. Nevertheless, there is still a lot of uncertainty regarding the question which factors determine successful innovation within the open innovation environment. In this regard, based on the dynamic capabilities view, we hypothesise that a firm’s openness, its absorptive capacity and its flexibility primarily determine innovation success in in-bound open innovation environments. To test these hypotheses, we analyse a large scale survey sample of 496 German manufacturing companies from different industries by applying structural equation modelling. As a main result, we find evidence for a positive association between the three mentioned constructs and innovation success.read more

Structural Differentiation and Ambidexterity: The Mediating Role of Integration Mechanisms
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the previously asserted direct effect of structural differentiation on ambidexterity operates through informal senior team and formal organizational integration mechanisms, and contributes to a greater clarity and better understanding of how organizations may effectively pursue exploration and exploitation simultaneously to achieve ambideXterity.

Relative absorptive capacity and interorganizational learning
Peter J. Lane,Michael Lubatkin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reconceptualize the firm-level construct absorptive capacity as a learning dyad-level measure, relative absorptive capacities, and test the model using a sample of pharmaceutical-biotechnology R&D alliances.

External knowledge search, absorptive capacity and radical innovation in high-technology firms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the joint effect of open innovation and absorptive capacity on a firm's radical innovation and found that internal routines and processes for absorbing external knowledge help explain radical innovation as they show a significant effect of potential and realized absorptive capacities.

Inbound open innovation and firm performance
TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical analysis of a cross-national unbalanced panel data of European firms listed in the five major European markets in the years 2008-2013 was carried out to sort the impact of the level of inbound openness, derived by the amount invested in internal development versus the external acquisition of intangible assets on firm performance.

Dynamic capabilities and strategic management
TL;DR: The dynamic capabilities framework as mentioned in this paper analyzes the sources and methods of wealth creation and capture by private enterprise firms operating in environments of rapid technological change, and suggests that private wealth creation in regimes of rapid technology change depends in large measure on honing intemal technological, organizational, and managerial processes inside the firm.
