Match and manage: the use of knowledge matching and project management to integrate knowledge in collaborative inbound open innovation
研究了企业如何在协作式内向型开放式创新中运用项目管理和知识匹配两种知识治理程序来管理外部知识流入，发现知识治理的选择对创新绩效有重要影响。
Despite mounting evidence on the potential benefits of inbound open innovation, little is known about how firms purposefully manage inflows of knowledge. We investigate the use of two knowledge governance procedures—project management and knowledge matching—in collaborative inbound open innovation. Our findings suggest that, in addition to “knowledge-precursors,” which the literature on open innovation and absorptive capacity has shown to be important for the integration of external knowledge, the firm’s choice of knowledge governance matters for innovation performance.
