Abstract


In this paper we set out to explore the opportunities for mutual learning between the industrial network approach and open innovation models. We take the starting point in the role of resources which is central in both models, not least related to the firm’s possibilities to create and capture value through innovation. We use mini-cases based of resource combining across firm boundaries. The paper ends with a concluding discussion raising three themes for future research regarding capabilities, openness and value.
