Over the past few decades, innovation collaborations have significantly expanded across all sectors of activity. Vertical innovation collaboration, specifically between clients and suppliers, is the most prevalent form. However, despite this growth, practitioners face difficulties in managing these collaborations, and academic literature emphasizes the need for further knowledge in this field. In this context, our research has focused on two areas: the management of innovation collaborations from a relational perspective and the emerging role and impact of the Purchasing-Innovation function.
By employing a diverse range of qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches with a praxeological orientation, these studies have yielded several conceptual and practical contributions. Firstly, they enhance our understanding of the dynamics within vertical innovation collaborations by providing a conceptual model and identifying critical operating modes for their success. Additionally, they have enabled the characterization of the novel role of the ambidextrous intermediary in collaborative innovation, namely the innovation-oriented buyer, and shed light on how they establish their legitimacy.
