Özet
Open Innovation promises higher outcomes
from innovation processes through collaboration and sharing knowledge and the
intellectual assets. Inclusion of suppliers, customers or users, partners, and
even competitors in innovative processes can help to overcome constraints on
internal resources. For ICT companies that operate in eco-systems of technology
development zones (TDZ), open innovation approach becomes more critical mostly
due to the scale and experience constraints. To understand the barriers of open
innovation for ICT firms in TDZs can significantly help strategy and decision
makers in designing policies and actions to empower innovation processes in
order to overcome these barriers and hence to utilize open innovation for
higher competitiveness. Various researchers examined the challenges of open
innovation in various contexts, as well as the innovativeness and business
performances of TDZ companies. However, there is still a room for research on
exploring the dimensions of motives and barriers of open innovation practices
of these companies. This study aims to explore the barriers for open innovation
in ICT TDZ companies through surveys and in-depth interviews that are carried
out in 102 ICT firms in TDZs in Turkey. By applying factor analysis, the main
barriers to openness are identified and relationships of these barriers with
the company’s characteristics explored. Findings reveal that the most
frequently perceived constraints are financial and administrative problems.
