A model of open innovation among competing firms is developed. Innovation is modelled as a dynamic sequential process … products. This model is implemented in an evolutionary setup, where the static and dynamic consequences of the open innovation … paradigm are compared with patent-licensing. Both are found to be equivalent in technology outcomes, but open innovation …
