Open innovation practices in SMEs and large enterprises
Abstract
Few studies on open innovation (OI) \naddress OI practices in small and medium-sized \nenterprises (SMEs) and how their use of OI and the \nresulting benefits differ from those of large enterprises. \nThe lack of resources in SMEs to engage in \nlooking outward is said to be a barrier to OI, but at the \nsame time this shortage is cited as a motive for \nlooking beyond organisational boundaries for technological \nknowledge. We investigate how OI dimensions \nimpact the innovative performance of SMEs in \ncomparison to large companies. The key finding is \nthat the effects of OI practices in SMEs often differ \nfrom those in large firms. SMEs are more effective in \nusing different OI practices simultaneously when they \nintroduce new products on the market, whereas this is \nless the case for large firms. Turnover from new \nproducts in SMEs is driven by intellectual property \nprotection mechanisms, while large firms in this case \nbenefit more from their search strategies.

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.
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.
