motivaciones, Innovación Abierta Internacional (IAI), PYMES, países desarrollados, países en desarrolloResumen
Objetivo: Esta investigación tiene como objetivo comprender las motivaciones de las pymes de países desarrollados para involucrarse en proyectos de innovación abierta (IA) con socios en países en desarrollo.
Metodología: Adoptamos un enfoque cualitativo y estudiamos el caso de 16 pymes de Quebec que llevaron a cabo con éxito proyectos de IA en países africanos.
Relevancia: A pesar del creciente cuerpo de investigación sobre IA en pymes, la perspectiva internacional de la IA aún necesita ser explorada. En particular, el contexto de los países en desarrollo ha recibido poca atención, especialmente en cuanto a las motivaciones de las pymes de países desarrollados para emprender proyectos de IA en países en desarrollo.
Principales resultados: Los resultados muestran que los proyectos de IA con socios africanos permiten a las pymes integrarse en los mercados africanos y adquirir conocimientos diferentes a los de las economías desarrolladas. Estas asociaciones fortalecen la capacidad organizacional general de la pyme más allá de la adquisición de conocimientos específicos relacionados con el proyecto de innovación. También incluyen objetivos sociales para mejorar las condiciones de vida de las comunidades locales.
Contribuciones teóricas: Al abordar las llamadas a la investigación sobre IA en países en desarrollo, este artículo amplía el alcance de la IA en este contexto. También contribuye a la teoría basada en recursos al identificar la integración dentro de redes extranjeras como el principal recurso estratégico, motivando a las pymes de países desarrollados a iniciar proyectos de IA en países en desarrollo.
Contribuciones gerenciales: El estudio proporciona ideas a las pymes de países desarrollados sobre las diversas razones para implementar proyectos de IA con socios en países en desarrollo. También les ofrece consejos personalizados para llevar a cabo con éxito dichos proyectos.
