California Management Review: video for the the article SMEs’ Open Innovation: Applying a Barrier Approach

> Video

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.

Launch of the Environmental Economics chair and presentation of the results

Introduced by President Frédérique Lardet and Deputy Valérie Riotton, as well as the presidents of the USMB and the Foundation, the launch was a great success!

In response, the heads of the research areas (including Bérangère Legendre and Florian Fizaine, USMB, IREGE) led a round table discussion on the theme “The challenges of environmental transition, a territory and its actors” during which the research areas defined in response to the identified needs were presented.
