The Open Innovation Information Leverage Conundrum

Main Article Content

Abstract

The effective search and convergence of internal and external information is becoming more important for the creative skills and results of businesses. Firms participate in a variety of open innovation partnerships to achieve this aim, with the purpose of creating and extracting value in multi-actor environments. The knowledge-leveraging paradoxical, which is contained inside the accessibility paradox, is studied as a "paradox inside a paradox." We build a mathematical formula that detects important knowledge-related transferability as well as exposures issues using a knowledge-based approach combined with paradox theories. Researchers then show how information uncertainty associated to innovation moderates these constraints in the other manner. This uncertainty aggravates transferability conflicts by making transfer of knowledge as well as integration across organizational borders more challenging, while also reducing exposing constraints for the same rationale. We investigate possible solutions to these key information-related problems by proposing differentiation and consolidation methods that may allow simultaneous knowledge sharing while reducing disclosure concerns.
