Purpose
–
The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between the use of open innovation (OI)
practices and firm performance, and the role of organizational mechanisms (OMs) (formalization and
decentralization) as moderator variables.
Design/methodology/approach
–
The authors build a theoretical framework to define a set of hypotheses
that are then verified in an empirical study. These theoretical propositions are tested by using the data
gathered from a survey addressed to 244 firms in Spanish low- and medium-technology industries.
Findings
–
With regard to inbound practices, the practices oriented to cooperate with partners in a R&D
context have a positive influence. The results show that outbound practices, either by direct generation of
revenues from licensing payments or, more indirectly, through the indirect marketing and technical benefits
that can stem from revealing have a positive effect on firm performance. Coupled practices, which are related
to participation in clusters and innovation networks, have the highest impact on firm performance. In the
industrial context examined, decentralization exerts a positive effect which enhances the effect of outbound
practices meanwhile formalization reduces their positive effect.
Practical implications
–
This study helps practitioners in low- and medium-technology firms to determine
which OI practices are most beneficial to firm performance and how formalization and decentralization can
influence the relationship between OI and firm performance.
Originality/value
–
This study helps determine the influence of OI practices in terms of inbound, outbound
and coupled types through an analysis of low- and medium-technology firms. The OI literature is enriched by
the types herein of the role of OMs, which includes an analysis of how formalization and decentralization
moderate the influence of OI practices on firm performance. [-]
