This article identifies barriers that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) encounter when they openly innovate, according to the open innovation (OI) mode used (inbound, outbound, coupled). A qualitative analysis—involving seven case studies of SMEs active in digital (high-tech) or social economy (low-tech) sectors—reveals that they face more internal than external OI barriers. Overall, the nature of the barriers does not vary across OI modes, but their intensity does. With regard to external barriers, the results reveal a “tribe syndrome,” such that SMEs resist opening up to other firms that do not share the same values.
In 2022, the International Association of Strategic Management will celebrate its 30th anniversary. Taking stock of 30 years of research, this special issue invites innovative studies which question strategy and organization theories as we know them and which might help to accelerate the grand challenges ‘turn’ in management studies. Management studies have been increasingly acknowledging the urgency of researching and tackling grand challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, aging societies, big data and digitalization, gender inequalities, labor slavery, resource depletion, poverty and disaster risks.
This call for papers is open to interdisciplinary approaches which draw on human and natural sciences, engineering, design, and urbanism to examine how strategy and organization studies can help to make sense of and address grand challenges. We will also welcome epistemological, theoretical, methodological and empirical works, as these grand challenges will require new observational tools and new ways of analyzing data.
