In the last decades, there has been much fuzz on “open innovation” in terms of its effects on both organizations and business models. Therefore, evolutions on this topic have led to consider open innovation both as a new paradigm of innovation (Chesbrough, 2003; Gassmann, 2006) and as a new business model (Lecocq et al., 2010; George & Bock, 2011; Schneider & Spieth, 2013).

It has been considered as a source of business model innovation as it is based on the company’s ability to both create and “capture” value. The open innovation stimulates business model changing leveraging the company’s characteristics needed and targeted, at continuously exchanging knowledge with stakeholders engaged, within a network-ification process (Teece, 1986; Teece et al., 1997; Vrontis et al., 2020).
