Abstract
Varios estudios han confirmado que debido a la tensión existente entre la necesidad de abrir los procesos de innovación y a la vez proteger los conocimientos claves de posibles comportamientos oportunistas, la estrategia de apropiación es un determinante importante de la decisión de las empresas de cooperar con agentes externos. Sin embargo, algunas investigaciones recientes han sugerido que la relación entre estas dos estrategias está condicionada por una serie de contingencias que puede afectar su comportamiento. Con el objetivo de profundizar en esta discusión, este estudio propone que la percepción que tienen las empresas sobre la posibilidad de ser imitadas, es una contingencia que afecta la conformación de su estrategia de apropiación, y afecta la relación que hay entre esta estrategia y el grado de apertura de las empresas. Nuestros resultados, basados en una muestra de empresas manufactureras de Colombia, indican que, ante el temor a ser imitadas, las empresas aumentan el número de mecanismos de apropiación, pero este temor impulsa principalmente el uso de mecanismos estratégicos. Además, el análisis muestra que, aunque el mayor uso de mecanismos estratégicos incentiva la mayor apertura de las empresas, debido al menor grado de divulgación de la información que los caracteriza, sus efectos positivos decrecen antes que en el caso de los mecanismos formales.
Several studies have confirmed that due to the tension between the need to open innovation processes and at the same time protect key knowledge from possible opportunistic behavior, the strategy of appropriation is an important determinant of the decision of companies to cooperate with external agents. However, some recent research has suggested that the relationship between these two strategies is conditioned by a series of contingencies that can affect their behavior. To deepen on this discussion, this study proposes that the perception that companies have about the possibility of being imitated is a contingency that affects the conformation of their appropriation strategy, and affects the relationship between this strategy and the degree of business openness. Our strategic results, based on a sample of manufacturing companies in Colombia, indicate that faced with the fear of being imitated, companies increase the number of appropriation mechanisms, but this fear mainly drives the use of strategic mechanisms. In addition, the analysis shows that, although the greater use of strategic mechanisms encourages the greater opening of companies, due to the lower degree of disclosure of the information that characterizes them, their positive effects decrease before that in the case of formal mechanisms.
