Call for Papers
Solving for organizational and societal challenges frequently requires weaving together specialized knowledge that resides within organizations and communities with ideas that come from the outside. Scholars have investigated how external communities and users contribute to producing innovative ideas (von Hippel, 2005; West, 2003; Faraj et al., 2016). In a related vein, scholars have examined how firms can organize to receive inbound ideas that manifest in markets and communities (Chesbrough, 2003; West, Vanhaverbeke, & Chesbrough, 2006). While both conceptions have explained how innovative ideas are generated outside the four walls of organizations, little research or theory has wrestled with how open innovation is implemented, integrated and sustained over time. Interest in opening innovation processes has developed broadly across many different scholarly domains and matured (Dionne & Carlile, 2019). Thus, we see this as an opportune time to extend our current understanding beyond questioning the locus of innovation (e.g., Baldwin & von Hippel, 2011) to also focus on how innovations developed through open channels are sustained and integrated in practice. Our sub-theme takes on this agenda and aims to provide a deeper understanding of these dynamics.
