Abstract
A inovação aberta tem vindo a captar o imaginário da nossa contemporaneidade apontando para desígnios transformadores. A “inovação aberta” é vista como “a próxima palavra” em estudos de inovação e em práticas de gestão. As revisões bibliométricas têm revelado números especiais, livros e centenas de artigos dedicados a propor esta (alegadamente) nova policy-framework. Conduz-se neste ensaio bibliográfico uma análise qualitativa que procura compreender a inovação aberta nas suas implicações de economia política, explicitando o alcance desta literatura, os pressupostos vigentes e, sobretudo, demonstrando como é um conceito marcado por um viés empresarial, beneficiando de vários aspetos anunciados pela sua trajetória tecnológica, atualmente amplificada na era digital, e pelas promessas da indústria 4.0.
Open innovation and the contemporary “innovationism”: a political economy perspective. Open innovation is one of those catchwords that has been capturing the imaginaries of our societies, pointing out transformative designs. “Open innovation” is being viewed as “the next word” in innovation studies and management practices. Bibliometric reviews have been revealing that open innovation has spawned special issues, numerous books, and hundreds of papers devoted to proposing this (allegedly) new policy framework. With this bibliographical essay, we give a qualitative review that understands open innovation and the reach of its literature: i.e., the presumptions in place and how an entrepreneurial and management bias marks it, benefiting from announced technological trajectories currently amplified by the digital age and the alleged opportunities of the 4.0 industry.
