Where do Innovations Come From? Transformations in the U.S. Economy, 1970-2006 (2009, background): “on subcontractors to produce many key parts of their automobiles (Whitford, 2005); but the pattern also extends to the research and development function where many firms are less reliant on their own laboratories and more involved in complex webs of collaboration with other firms, universities and g”
Explicating Open Innovation: Clarifying an Emerging Paradigm for Understanding Innovation (2014, background): “One critique summarizes its viewpoint with its pithy title, “Old Wine in New Bottles” (Trottand Hartmann, 2009), while the other states in its title, “Plus Ca Change…” (Mowery, 2009).”
The benefits of R&D and breadth in innovation strategies: a comparison of Finnish service and manufacturing firms (2012, background): “…in the manufacturing context (e.g., Rosenkopf and Nerkar, 2001; Katila and Ahuja, 2002; Laursen and Salter, 2006; Leiponen and Helfat, 2010), even though external search is viewed as a key strategic consideration in the global deregulated economy (Chesbrough, 2003; Mowery, 2009; among many others).”
Open innovation: State of the art and future perspectives (2011, background): “Mowery (2009) even suggests that closed innovation might have been the exception in a history characterized mostly by open innovation practices.”
The Unbundling of Corporate Functions: The Evolution of Shared Services and Outsourcing in Human Resource Management (2010, background): “Research and development which had often been left to outsiders was also internalized (Mowery 2006).”
Open service innovation and the firm's search for external knowledge (2014, background): “…(Ahuia, 2000) or more generally systemic connections (Nelson, 1993) in the process of innovation has long been recognised in the innovation literature and a perfectly „closed‟ model of innovation might in fact be quite difficult to find in the long history of technological change (Mowery, 2009).”
The rise of the entrepreneurial economy and the future of dynamic capitalism (2013, background): “Based on R&D measures, small businesses accounted for only a small amount of innovative activity (Acs and Audretsch, 1990; Chandler, 1990; Scherer, 1991; Audretsch, 1995).”
Making a marriage of materials: The role of gatekeepers and shepherds in the absorption of external knowledge and innovation performance (2017, background): “Notably, R&D staff are being asked to act as carriers of external knowledge into and across the firm, which clearly represents a new set of challenges for them (Mowery, 2009; Salter et al., 2014, 2015).”
