Open for innovation: the role of openness in explaining innovation performance among U.K. manufacturing firms
Open accessAbstract
Abstract A central part of the innovation process concerns the way firms go about organizing search for new ideas that have commercial potential. New models of innovation have suggested that many innovative firms have changed the way they search for new ideas, adopting open search strategies that involve the use of a wide range of external actors and sources to help them achieve and sustain innovation. Using a large‐scale sample of industrial firms, this paper links search strategy to innovative performance, finding that searching widely and deeply is curvilinearly (taking an inverted U‐shape) related to performance.

The Abstract (page unavailable) says industries differ substantially in patents generated per dollar of R&D and discusses the need to improve research that uses patent counts to measure innovative activity. This supports a limitation of patents as indicators of innovation, but our copy does not establish the claimed shortcomings of patent citation data as indicators of innovative search.

The residuals of the Tobit model follow a lognormal distribution.
“We apply this approach to the study of innovative performance and assume a lognormal distribution for the residuals of the Tobit model.”

The latent variable of innovative performance of a firm is a function of a number of explicative variables.

Breadth dummy range differs between the text and Table 5
MinorThe text says the highest breadth dummy covers 9-16 sources, but Table 5 uses 9-14 as the benchmark and a separate dummy for 15-16 sources.
“In a similar fashion, we create dummies for the ranges of 0 sources; 1-4 sources; 5-8 sources; and for 9-16 sources.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-09-28, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-09-28 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
