| Abstract: | This study deals with inward and outward technology transactions as the main directions of open innovation. In addition, technology aggressiveness, which constitutes an important dimension of technology strategy, is identified as a key determinant of open innovation. Using data from a survey of more than 150 industrial firms, this paper tests three hypotheses relating technology aggressiveness, external technology acquisition, and external technology exploitation. Furthermore, identified are clusters of firms with homogeneous strategies as to open innovation and technology aggressiveness. |
