The timing of openness in a radical innovation project,a temporal and loose coupling perspective

We extend the Profit from Innovation (PFI) framework (Teece, 1986) by combining it with open innovation insights: we explore when and how managers make the transition between closed and open innovation, and how they use appropriation (formal and informal defense mechanisms) and project strategies to capture the value generated from the innovation at the project level. Based on a radical innovation project at Jaguar (UK), we contribute to a process and temporal perspective of open innovation by shedding light on two core project processes and their enabling mechanisms which influenced the ability of Jaguar to maximize profits from the innovation. The first core project process was the choice of timing of the shift from a closed to an open model of innovation: it was enabled by a pro-active change in the formal defense strategy (i.e. submission of a patent), and by an internal loose coupling project strategy that involved autonomy of the project champion and internal engineers’ weak membership in the project. The second core process was an external loose coupling project strategy that was enabled by the deployment of two complementary informal appropriation mechanisms namely, the reduction of the scope of tasks allocated to external partners combined with the development of guarded relationships with them.     

More is not always better: Effects of collaboration breadth and depth on radical and incremental innovation performance at the project level

This study investigates the effect of project-level collaboration breadth (i.e., the number of collaboration partner types) and collaboration depth (i.e., the intensity of the interactions with these partners) on the incremental and radical innovation performance of innovation projects. The econometric analyses, based on a Community Innovation Study sample of 218 innovation projects conducted in German manufacturing companies, reveal inverted U-shaped relationships between collaboration breadth and radical innovation performance and between collaboration depth and incremental innovation performance. These curvilinear effects speak to the high sensitivity of innovation projects to the extent of collaborative activity, which implies that practitioners should exert caution in managing collaborative innovation projects. This study contributes to the understanding of project-level open innovation and to the overall understanding of the performance effects of innovation collaboration, which, following recent assertions in the literature, could be flawed by analyses conducted at the organizational level.     

Social networks and coordination performance of distributed software development teams

In this study, we explore the coordination performance of the geographically distributed software development teams by exploring OSS (Open Source Software) development dataset available through SourceForge.com. OSS team structures have traditionally been geographically dispersed and therefore, the coordination of post release activities such as testing efforts have been carried out by means of communication via electronic forms, such as email or message boards and forums. In our current communication-enriched environment, best practices for coordination are adopted by all software projects yet some still fail to achieve their target performance. Does team structure have any bearing on the performance outcome of the project? How does the communication between teams and their external parties affect ultimate success or failure of projects? We seek to answer above questions by applying existing theories and analytical methods from social networks for exploring the coordination performance of defect management activities found in OSS projects. We propose social networks based theoretical model for exploring distributed coordination structure and apply that for the case of OSS defect management process for exploring the structural properties, which induce the greatest coordination performance. The outcome of our suggest that there is correlation between certain network measures such as density, centrality and betweenness and coordination performance measures of defect management systems such as quality and timeliness.     

Selecting an open innovation community as an alliance partner: Looking for healthy communities and ecosystems

Organizations build strategic alliances with other firms with the intent of tapping into partners’ resources and capturing long-term value from these relationships. Such partnerships are typically governed by contractual or equity arrangements with clear mutual obligations. More recently, however, organizations have begun to seek strategic partnerships with open innovation communities, which are novel digitally enabled forms of organizing, and where contractual commitments are not possible. Thus, selecting the right open innovation community as an alliance partner becomes a more complex decision. We follow how the organizational decision makers, in two technology firms that were pioneers of forming strategic alliances with open innovation communities, developed metrics around making such decisions. We build upon Shah and Swaminathan’s (2008) contingency model of alliance partner selection and consider how it applies to the case of partnering with open innovation communities. This framework was useful in to frame our findings, yet our work recognizes and builds upon two key differences: 1) the evaluation metrics used in selecting an open innovation community were more focused on value creation than value capture; and 2) open ecosystem considerations, and not just partner-specific metrics, featured prominently in this type of alliance partner evaluation. We develop the notions of community and ecosystem health to refer to these new metrics.     

我国学术期刊开放获取政策现状及制定策略研究

【目的】 为我国学术期刊开放获取(Open Access,OA)政策的制定提供建议。【方法】 使用网络调查法和案例分析法,调研国内外学术期刊OA政策现状,分析国内政策的不足及国外政策的经验。【结果】 国内学术期刊OA政策存在政策不健全、政策分散、政策简单等问题;国外学术期刊在版权许可、质量控制、费用、自存储等方面已构建较完备的OA政策体系。【结论】 从建立合作参与的政策模式、完善的政策体系和评估与修订机制三个方面为制定我国学术期刊OA政策提出建议。     

科技期刊实施开放式同行评议策略研究

【目的】 调研国内外科技期刊实施开放式同行评议(Open Peer Review,OPR)的策略,并对其进行比较分析,以期为OPR相关理论和实践研究提供参考。【方法】 通过在30种科技期刊官方网站收集数据,总结OPR期刊的特点,比较各期刊在采取审稿模式、公开审稿人身份、公开审稿意见和给审稿人认可等方面采取的不同策略。【结果】 所调研期刊中绝大多数是出版集团拥有的开放获取期刊,其中50%是生物医学类期刊。在所调查的3种OPR模式中,70%期刊采取模式2,即公开评审结果模式;23%采用模式1,即审稿中增加公众评议环节;7%采用非主流模式3,即通过出版“同行评议书”的方式公开稿件评审过程。即使采用同一种OPR模式的期刊,其具体做法也不尽相同。71%的期刊采取自愿署名或匿名审稿政策,只有29%的期刊要求审稿人实名审稿。小部分期刊采取给评审报告添加DOI方式激励审稿人审稿。【结论】 当前国内外科技期刊对OPR的研究和实践还处在初级阶段,实施OPR的期刊总体数量偏少,今后还需要各期刊根据自己的特点探索适合自己实施OPR的策略。

"后方法时代"语言教学观与对外汉语教学法体系构建

“后方法时代”语言教学观反思传统方法概念,倡导对教师自主性和创造性的回归,主张构建一个“由下至上”,适应具体教学情景的教学实践者自身的教学理论体系。借鉴这一思想有益于对外汉语教学法体系的完善,结合“方法时代”对外汉语教学法体系构建及其存在的问题,本文主张从更广的视阈,构建一个以教师自主教学为原则的、富有个性化的对外汉语教学法体系,并提出了相应的体系构建模式原型。
