This report is based on the work conducted through the project ”Open innovation and globalization – theory, evidence and implications”, financed through Vision Eranet. A main purpose of the project has been to theoretically and empirically examine the concept of “open innovation”, and how it can be used to understand changing corporate strategies and their impact on corporate innovation performance. Emphasis has been put on broadening the theoretical content of the concept, on demonstrating how existing innovation survey data can be used to describe various innovation practices across industries, on investigating their impact on corporate innovation performance, and on discussing the possible policy implications stemming out of the theoretical and empirical analysis.
