Effects of Collaboration Breadth and Depth on Innovation Performance
The Science Direct website posted a study which investigates the effect of collaboration breadth and collaboration depth on the incremental innovation performance of innovation projects. The analyses reveal inverted U-shaped relationships between collaboration breadth and innovation performance and between collaboration depth and incremental innovation performance. These curvilinear effects speak to the high sensitivity of innovation projects to the extent of collaborative activity. This implies that practitioners should exert caution in managing collaborative innovation projects. This study contributes to the understanding of project-level open innovation and to the overall understanding of the performance effects of innovation collaboration.
