The Dynamics of Open Strategy: From Adoption to Reversion (2017, unknown): “As Google’s technology prowess in software development has grown, not only through experience working on Android but by hiring leading Android software developers into Google (Dahlander and Wallin, 2006), Google’s payoffs approach the natural monopoly situation.”
Carrots and Rainbows: Motivation and Social Practice in Open Source Software Development (2012, background): “…and OSS licenses that define and govern their potential use.2 Public administrators perceive value in the free accessibility of OSS (Comino et al. 2010; Maldonado 2010) and firms have long used and contributed to OSS (Bonaccorsi et al. 2006; Dahlander and Wallin 2006; Henkel 2006; Rolandsson et al.”
Managing Distributed Innovation: Strategic Utilization of Open and User Innovation (2012, unknown): “One complementary approach to search for distributed innovation is making use of communities of external stakeholders, turning community management into an integral part of a firm’s innovation search strategy (cf. Dahlander & Wallin, 2006; Jeppesen & Frederiksen, 2006; O’Mahony, 2007).”
Keep searching and you’ll find: what do we know about variety creation through firms’ search activities for innovation? (2012, background): “There is evidence to suggest that this is happening in the software industry (Dahlander and Wallin, 2006; Jeppesen and Frederiksen, 2006).”
Online Communities and Open Innovation (2008, background): “Some contributions to this line of thinking suggest that firms can adopt strategies to integrate ideas that originate from communities, into their internal processes (Dahlander and Wallin, 2006 ; Jeppesen and Frederiksen, 2006 ).”
Advancing a Typology of Open Innovation (2010, background): “Similarly, pharmaceutical companies procure solutions by jointly developing technologies with strategic partners or by acquiring smaller companies which developed them (Dahlander and Wallin, 2006; Higgins and Rodriguez, 2006).”
The open innovation research landscape: established perspectives and emerging themes across different levels of analysis (2016, unknown): “Some of the most important obstacles in developing these relationships involve communities’ typical lack of the formal structure and hierarchy, which create difficulties in steering the work both on the collective and individual level (Dahlander and Wallin 2006).”
