Turning Open Innovation into Practice: Open Innovation Research through the Lens of Managers (2011, background): “More often, firms are involved either directly (as members) or indirectly (by paying money to members) in the communities (West and Lakhani, 2008).”
Open innovation in SMEs: Exploring inter-organizational relationships in an ecosystem (2017, unknown): “in the context of open innovation (West and Lakhani, 2008).”
Managing Distributed Innovation: Strategic Utilization of Open and User Innovation (2012, unknown): “Other distributed innovation processes have included cumulative innovation, communities, social production and co-creation (Benkler, 2006; Bogers et al., 2010; Murray & O’Mahony, 2007; West & Lakhani, 2008).”
Explicating Open Innovation: Clarifying an Emerging Paradigm for Understanding Innovation (2014, background): “For example, West and Lakhani(2008) argued thatcommunities are adistinct level of analysis, given that communities are in essence an extraorganizational set of actors and thus different than the notion of inter-organizational networks as proposed by West et al. (2006).”
Leveraging External Sources of Innovation: A Review of Research on Open Innovation (2014, background): “Open innovation communities are defined as an ongoing voluntary association of individuals (or even organizations) that are organized or leveraged by for-profit actors (West and Lakhani, 2008).”
Open innovation and company culture: Internal openness makes the difference (2017, background): “Communities can vary in terms of the degree of formalization, openness, and mechanisms employed for operations and communities' strategic intentions, thus, corporations tend to create and influence communities according to their interests and ambitions (Almirall, 2008; West and Lakhani, 2008).”
The open innovation research landscape: established perspectives and emerging themes across different levels of analysis (2016, unknown): “To date, much of the research highlights the role of users in online communities (Dahlander, Frederiksen, and Rullani 2008; West and Lakhani 2008).”
