For the past two decades, Open Innovation has been a promising and useful concept for guiding academics, practitioners, and policymakers. The applied nature of Open Innovation and its very diverse, inclusive, and open community made it stand out from other theories, concepts, and paradigms. Even though Open Innovation has been studied in different modes, contexts, and on different levels of analysis, it is not a theory of everything.

This chapter builds on the richness of excellent contributions to the Oxford Handbook of Open Innovation to provide an overview of the newly emerging contexts (what), new methodologies and data (how), and the rationale for the importance of these upcoming studies (why) to complement and further extend the Open Innovation as a field of knowledge.

The concept of open innovation (OI) has been in operation since the early 2000s but tensions still exist between appropriability and open innovation. This chapter establishes the state of the art regarding knowledge of the intricate and complex interplay between appropriability and open innovation. To understand this important strategic relationship, the potential complementarities between open innovation and appropriability are explained.

The chapter also examines some key tensions between open innovation and firms’ appropriation efforts, and illuminates what firms can do in their attempt to resolve these tensions. The chapter provides an overview of the prior literature and highlights a range of future research avenues to enrich organizational scholars’ understanding of this relationship.

Open Innovation is not a panacea, and it doesn’t always produce positive results in every situation. The study of Open Innovation arguably suffers from too little attention being paid to situations where Open Innovation fails, and the reasons for the failure are not investigated by scholars of organizations.

As a result, both scholars and managers are not learning as much about Open Innovation from these failures as they otherwise might. And the failures themselves challenge certain claims about Open Innovation, causing organization analysts to be more careful in asserting its efficacy in organizing and managing innovation. This chapter presents three case studies of failures of Open Innovation.

I share insights from my chapter on the challenges organizations face when implementing open innovation. I introduce a framework designed to help practitioners and strategists analyze, question, and strengthen their practice—by reflecting on (1) strategy, (2) processes, structures, and KPIs, and (3) collaboration partners. It’s a framework in motion, constantly evolving, with the hope of becoming a useful tool for shaping the future of innovation.

So grateful for this journey and excited to finally share my perspective!

This chapter discusses how collaboration helps merging respective competencies on power generation and production with deep knowledge of space infrastructures to resolve the particular challenges posed by the environmental conditions of lunar power plant systems. The future plant must be resilient to extreme environmental conditions (+/-150°C, radiations, micrometeoroids, lunar dust); reliable for long periods to ensure astronaut safety; and flexible enough to be updated over time. Maximizing these characteristics will also contribute to accelerating a more sustainable and innovative energy transition here on Earth.

This chapter will follow 5G from its early days in the lab, to its technically complex development, through to the ecosystem relationships that are driving adoption of 5G around the world. An open innovation perspective is shown to be useful for navigating this long journey of a general-purpose technology, from the lab through to the market.

This standard enables partners in a data space to share their data without losing the freedom to define how the data is used by adding usage conditions to the data. A data space supports value creation and data monetization opportunities for all partners in a trusted data-sharing environment. This is in keeping with the principles of open innovation.
