Developing countries focus on radical innovation naturally when they implement the technology innovation to catch up with Developed countries. However, recent studies have indicated a high rate of failures in the radical innovation. This paper illustrates the obstacles for developing countries to implement the radical innovation. Then we introduce a new innovation method - Open-Disruptive Innovation...
Although the disruptive innovation (DI) theory of Christensen has nowadays been accepted by academics and practitioners as a powerful innovation strategy, many have only viewed it from a particular perspective such as market development that is not sufficient to judge confidently if an early stage DI case has a good chance to succeed. In this paper, we shall present an assessment framework that captures...
With the economics and society globalization, international university-industry collaboration (which happens cross boundaries) is emerging, which is distinguish from the university network and from the usual university-industry collaboration in one country.

Open innovation provides a framework how firms can benefit from external sources of knowledge. Absorptive capacity explains how firms can create and capture value from in-sourcing external knowledge. Therefore, absorptive capacity and open innovation should be linked to each other. In this study, we provide theoretical model and evidence from a case study how innovating firms in rapidly developing...
