Open service innovation and the firm's search for external knowledge (2014, background): “…or production processes, for example, by disclosing knowledge to partners, users or suppliers and incorporating valuable feedback (Henkel, 2006); or they can generate direct returns from underutilized intangible resources that can be traded on technology markets (Arora et al., 2001; Fosfuri, 2006).”
Technological exploration through licensing: new insights from the licensee’s point of view (2010, background): “We conjecture two distinct dimensions of AC in terms of the firms’ stock of knowledge (“assimilation capacity”) and the degree to which firms have searched broadly in the past (“monitoring ability”) to affect the distance of exploration from the existing technological portfolio.”
How SMEs exploit their intellectual property assets: evidence from survey data (2011, neutral): “In a similar vein, Fosfuri (2006) analyzes a survey of large firms active in the chemical industry and points out that the rate of licensing initially increases and then decreases in terms of the number of potential technology suppliers and is negatively related to the licensor’s market share and…”
Productivity and the Role of Complementary Assets in Firms’ Demand for Technology Innovations (2009, background): “…on the supply-side perspective (Teece, 1986; Bresnahan and Gambardella, 1998; Arora et al., 2001; Gans and Stern, 2003; Arora and Ceccagnoli, 2006; Fosfuri, 2006; Gambardella and Giarratana, 2006; Gambardella et al. 2007), a smaller number of studies have examined empirically the demand side of…”
Technology Transfer across Organizational Boundaries: Absorptive Capacity and Desorptive Capacity (2010, background): “In addition, firms can achieve multiple non-monetary benefits from outward technology transfer, such as accessing external technology, entering new markets, and establishing industry standards.(40)”
Ready to Be Open? Explaining the Firm-Level Barriers to Benefiting from Openness to External Knowledge (2017, positive): “While a stream of research (Fosfuri, 2006; Gans et al., 2008; Jensen and Thursby, 2001; Ziedonis, 2004) has opted to investigate the relationship between legal knowledge protection and external knowledge sourcing, our study offers important new insights by shifting the focus from the legal to the st”
How Firms Capture Value From Their Innovations (2013, background): “A related literature also captures the idea that innovators may capture value by commercializing their ideas in product markets or by licensing their technologies to others who will commercialize them (e.g., Fosfuri, 2006; Gans & Stern, 2003; Hill, 1992).”
Open innovation: State of the art and future perspectives (2011, background): “Recent studies observed a rise in efforts of companies to license out their technologies (Fosfuri, 2006; Granstrand, 2004).”
The Effect Of Inbound, Outbound And Coupled Innovation On Performance (2012, background): “While outward of external knowledge provides great financial opportunities, there is also the risk of negative effects on innovation performance (Arora and Fosfuri, 2003; Fosfuri, 2006).”
Open innovation practices in SMEs and large enterprises (2012, neutral): “These types of variables are used as controls by many authors studying OI (see, for example, Fosfuri 2006; Leiponen and Helfat 2010).”
How open is innovation (2010, background): “Some firms have even made it a strategic priority to out-license technologies and inventions (Fosfuri, 2006).”
Knowledge sharing, knowledge leaking and relative innovation performance: An empirical study (2015, background): “Thus, strong competition in knowledge markets signals the opportunity for external knowledge sharing (Rivette and Kline, 2000; Teece, 2006) and can foster knowledge diffusion (Fosfuri, 2006).”
The dark side of knowledge transfer: Exploring knowledge leakage in joint R&D projects (2015, background): “Of particular importance here is the so-called profit-dissipation effect that lowers profits in a firm's product business when knowledge and intellectual property (IP) are diffused through inter-firm collaboration (Fosfuri, 2006).”
