Implementing Open Innovation Practices in SMEs: The Role of Market and Institutional Collaboration
Abstract
Objective. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) constitute a vital component of economic development, yet their capacity to generate innovation increasingly depends on access to external knowledge and collaborative networks. This study examines the extent to which market based and institution-based open innovation practices contribute to innovation outcomes among SMEs. Research Methods. A quantitative research design was employed using a purposive sampling approach. Data were collected from 151 SMEs that met the study criteria and subsequently analyzed through multiple linear regression to assess the relationships among the investigated variables. Results. The findings reveal that both market-oriented and institutionoriented open innovation practices are positively associated with SME innovation outcomes. Market actors serve as an important source of strategic insights, enabling firms to identify emerging customer needs, competitive developments, and opportunities for product enhancement. Institutional engagement, in contrast, strengthens firms’ innovative capacity through knowledge transfer, capability-building initiatives, and access to supporting facilities and resources. Conclusions. The assessment of open innovation practices was guided by the innovation activity framework proposed in the Oslo Manual 2018. The results underline the importance of leveraging external knowledge channels to enhance innovation performance within SMEs. Given the limited empirical evidence addressing the relationship between open innovation practices and innovation outcomes in the Indonesian SME context, particularly in Yogyakarta, this study offers an initial contribution to the growing body of open innovation research in emerging economies.
