• The Open Innovation in Science research field: a collaborative conceptualisation approach

  Industry and Innovation · 2020-08-04 · 245 citations

  articleOpen access

  Openness and collaboration in scientific research are attracting increasing attention from scholars and practitioners alike. However, a common understanding of these phenomena is hindered by disciplinary boundaries and disconnected research streams. We link dispersed knowledge on Open Innovation, Open Science, and related concepts such as Responsible Research and Innovation by proposing a unifying Open Innovation in Science (OIS) Research Framework. This framework captures the antecedents, conti…

• Building Industries by Building Knowledge: Uncertainty Reduction over Industry Milestones

  Strategy Science · 2020 · 94 citations

  Senior authorCorresponding

  Scholars have long been interested in new industry emergence, highlighting that it could often be impeded by uncertainty across four dimensions: technology, demand, ecosystem, and institutions. Building on the insight that uncertainty stems from partial knowledge, we develop a conceptual framework that utilizes a temporal and a process perspective for knowledge generation and aggregation. Industry emergence through key milestones—commercialization, firm takeoff, and sales takeoff—is made possibl…

• David overshadows Goliath: Specializing in generality for internationalization in the global mobile money industry

  Strategic Management Journal · 2021-02-10 · 39 citations

  articleSenior author

  ABSTRACT Research Summary We investigate the emergence of a global industry based on digital innovation by studying how the international expansion of pioneering firms relates to their characteristics and strategies for capability development and deployment. Using detailed archival data on mobile money, we classify pioneers that internationalize based on whether they were multinational diversifying entrants, developed country startups, or developing country startups. Our quantitative evidence su…

• Pioneering digital platform ecosystems: The role of aligned capabilities and motives in shaping key choices and performance outcomes

  Strategic Management Journal · 2022-11-20 · 31 citations

  article

  Abstract R esearch Summary We inductively analyze rich qualitative and quantitative data on the global census of pioneering mobile money firms to examine how firm characteristics shape digital platform ecosystem configuration choices regarding (a) internal versus external integration and (b) the creation of network externalities through open versus closed end‐user access. In contrast to received wisdom, we find pioneering firms were equally likely to engage in external and internal integration;…

• Examining Open Innovation in Science (OIS): what Open Innovation can and cannot offer the science of science

  Innovation · 2021-12-05 · 22 citations

  articleOpen access

  Scholars across disciplines increasingly hear calls for more open and collaborative approaches to scientific research. The concept of Open Innovation in Science (OIS) provides a framework that integrates dispersed research efforts aiming to understand the antecedents, contingencies, and consequences of applying open and collaborative research practices. While the OIS framework has already been taken up by science of science scholars, its conceptual underpinnings require further specification. In…
