Designing Openness With Technology and IP
Book chapter, 2024

Firms that strive to succeed with open innovation must design their openness by making several interdependent design decisions relating to technological architecture and intellectual property (IP). This chapter explains how the decisions along these two dimensions impact both value creation and
value capture among interdependent innovators using open innovation. These design decisions can increase the opportunities and decrease the risks associated with open innovation, both on the inbound side and on the outbound side. The chapter draws from the recent literatures on open innovation, technology and product architecture, and intellectual property, respectively, and the argument is illustrated with empirical examples.
