Opening Up: How Centralization Affects Participation and Inclusion in Strategy Making (2017, background): “The literature suggests that open strategizing is not an all or nothing matter but rather it is a matter of degree (Almirall and Casadesus-Masanell, 2010; Whittington et al., 2011).”
Absorptive Capacity and Information Systems Research: Review, Synthesis, and Directions for Future Research (2012, background): “If two organizational partners share a common goal (e.g., new product development in a particular market), they will be more likely to transfer knowledge relevant to that goal (Almirall and Casadesus-Masanell 2010).”
Business models for open innovation: Matching heterogeneous open innovation strategies with business model dimensions (2015, background): “A priori many factors may account for such heterogeneity, such as product complexity (Almirall & Casadesus-Masanell, 2010), research capability (Laursen & Salter, 2006), and industry membership (Grimpe & Sofka, 2009).”
Information Technology and Product/Service Innovation: A Brief Assessment and Some Suggestions for Future Research (2013, background): “…by companies with this objective have varied in both form and function—from ”open” to “closed” ecosystems and from ecosystems focused on well-defined platforms to those focused on illdefined, emergent areas (Adner & Kapoor, 2010; Almirall & Casadesus-Masanell, 2010; Nambisan & Sawhney, 2007).”
Advancing a Typology of Open Innovation (2010, background): “Given OI’s contextual nature, firms will implement different strategies within an industry value chain, and will adopt these strategies at varying rates and magnitudes (Almirall and Casadesus-Masanell, 2010).”
Inbound open innovation for enhanced performance: Enablers and opportunities (2013, background): “Some research (e.g., Almirall & Casadesus-Masanell, 2010) suggests that the introduction of external players devolves firm control over technology trajectories such that gains from the technologies never materialize.”
Open Platform Strategies and Innovation: Granting Access vs. Devolving Control (2010, background): “…all parties’ incentives to invest and sponsor innovation in the system (Katz and Shapiro 1986, 1994; Shapiro and Varian 1998).8 Furthermore, when multiple parties try to innovate simultaneously, coherence may be lost across the system (Almirall and Casadesus-Masanell 2010, Gawer and Cusumano 2002).”
Technology Acquisition in Family and Nonfamily Firms: A Longitudinal Analysis of Spanish Manufacturing Firms (2013, background): “16 industries firms’ products typically embrace elements or subsystems developed by other players (Almirall and Casadesus-Masanell, 2010).”
