Abstract:

As the concept of Open Innovation is widely spread within firms, the question is no more to know if there is a need for collaborating with external firms for innovation purposes but to know how to perform such collaborations. The very large majority of these collaborations occurs within the client-supplier relationships, and for years, without clearly understanding why one collaboration performs and why another one does not. From the academic and practical points of view, there is still a lot of work to realize in order to understand how they work.

Keywords: Cooperation, innovation, governance, performance, dyad, client-supplier
