Affiliation
Small businesses face multiple constraints on innovating that open innovation (OI) has potential to help overcome. The aim of this study is to examine the association between business group affiliation and the extent of OI engaged in by SMEs. Unlike independent SMEs, those that have affiliations might benefit from internal and also external networks to initiate partnerships to innovate. We analysed data collected from 711 French SMEs that engage in innovation to assess the association between business group affiliation and open innovation practices. We found that business group affiliation has no significant relationship with the degree of engagement in open innovation or with partnership openness. Nevertheless, we found that affiliation to an international group influences the geographical openness of SMEs’ innovation. These findings contribute to our understanding of open innovation among SMEs by acknowledging the geographical challenges of partnerships in open innovation.

中小企业开放式创新的合作伙伴和地域规模:企业集团隶属关系是否重要?
小型企业在创新方面面临多重限制,而开放式创新 (OI) 有可能帮助克服这些限制。本研究的目的是检验企业集团隶属关系与中小企业参与的 OI 程度之间的关联。与独立的中小企业不同,那些有附属关系的企业可能会从内部和外部网络中受益,以发起合作伙伴关系进行创新。我们分析了从 711 家从事创新的法国中小企业收集的数据,以评估企业集团隶属关系与开放式创新实践之间的关联。我们发现,企业集团隶属关系与开放式创新的参与程度或伙伴关系的开放性没有显着关系。尽管如此,我们发现加入国际集团会影响中小企业创新的地域开放性。
