Abstract

Many firms are eager to tackle the challenge of moving from good to great innovators with the help of open innovation. However, a considerable number of open innovation projects fail because firms are not ready to fully engage in open innovation. They lack knowledge about how to manage its multiple facets. Drawing on a capability maturity approach, the authors propose a competence management framework to support the development of open innovation maturity – an organization’s excellence in conducting open innovation. Management categories and maturity levels are inductively identified and reflected in the context of prominent literature. The resulting Open Innovation Maturity model is based on insights from 12 parallel case studies and two open innovation pilots covering the software and the airport industry. Empiric results show that competences on the process level and on the individual level impact the success of open innovation. Hence, Open Innovation Maturity is a multidimensional concept describing the overall capacity of a firm to successfully engage in and make use of open innovation.
