Accepted Answer

This paper aims to answer the following question: which organizational factors help to overcome the challenges that firms face in the different phases of the collaborative innovation process ?. For this purpose, previous literature is revised and three case studies are analyzed by means of applying a framework that structures the collaborative innovation process in three areas of relevance ( i. e., development, integration and commercialization of the innovation ).

Accepted Answer

It has been frequently stated that selecting the right partner when intending to developcollaborative innovation activities might be the key to the success of the project.

Accepted Answer

In 2007, Ingeteam considered diversifying its customer portfolio because of the mature state of the wind power industry: turbine manufacturers had become key players and the sector had accumulated the experience needed to determine the technical specifications for wind turbine components and thus demand standardized products from their suppliers.

Accepted Answer

The selection of cases relies on the concept of theoretical sampling (Eisenhardt and Graebner, 2007), so that they presented theoretically relevant differences and thus provided insight oncommonalities and differences across them (Lehmberg, 2017).

Accepted Answer

one of the most ubiquitous aspects in the literature on cultural impediments to the use and exploitation of external knowledge is the Not Invented Here Syndrome, referring to the negative attitude of the employees of the focal firm towards external ideas (Katz and Allen, 1982; Chesbrough, 2003), a mental construct especially prominent in the case of firms that have a successful tradition of internal innovations (Dodgson et al., 2006; Schiele, 2010).

Accepted Answer

the organizational context factor thatcontributed to the success of the joint development of the innovation with the external partner was intra-firm collectivism and teamwork.

Accepted Answer

Although it is true that changes in the business model may be triggered by the developmentof a technological innovation, the usual course of action of most firms is to engage in innovation activities under the premises of a foreplaned strategy.
