Searching wide and deep for business model innovation Innovation (IF 2.453) Pub Date : 2023-09-03 Magne S. Angelshaug, Tina Saebi, Lasse Lien, Nicolai J. Foss
ABSTRACT To remain competitive, firms must innovate their business models (BMs) to meet the demands of the external environment. Given the severity of external threats or opportunities, managers need to determine the scope of BM innovation (BMI) – how many elements of a BM need to be changed – and the degree of novelty required. However, internal firm knowledge may not be sufficient to conceive of

R&D capacity and the innovation collaboration paradox: the moderating role of the appropriation strategy Innovation (IF 2.453) Pub Date : 2021-09-13 Hamdy Abdelaty, Daniel Weiss
ABSTRACT R&D capacity is claimed to be a stimulant for open innovation. We argue that after a specific level of R&D investment, firms diminish their external innovation collaboration due to the risk of knowledge imitation and unwanted spillovers, which generates a concave relationship between the two variables. This concave relationship can be flattened if an appropriation strategy is applied. Using
