Abstract
Automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) have historically invested in their own research and development (R&D) to boost their innovativeness. Because of an increasing innovation and cost pressure, the automotive industry needs to look outside their own boundaries to escape from this productivity dilemma. While there is a tendency to look outside for external sources to increase the innovativeness, there are hardly any external paths to market outside the current business yet. Our study shows that Open Innovation proves to be more adequate in the attempt to achieve a better R&D productivity for companies in the automotive industry than a closed innovation model.

Using a large-scale sample of industrial firms, this paper links search strategy to innovative performance, finding that searching widely and deeply is curvilinearly (taking an inverted U-shape) related to performance.

It was found that rivalry among established pharmaceutical firms does not lead to internalization, and the notion that firm-level factors influence R&D procurement patterns is supported, but a firm's history in regard to technological procurement was not a significant indicator of its behavior in new technology.

This work examines the activity of firms in open source software to support their innovation strategies and identifies four strategies firms employ — pooled R&D/product development, spinouts, selling complements and attracting donated complements — and discusses how they address the three key challenges of open innovation.
