This paper aims to identify open innovation sources and practices used in the literature in order to explain “where” and “how” firms can acquire knowledge and technologies to follow an open innovation journey. Through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) from 2003 to 2017, 42 papers were identified and analysed to give us a better understanding of open innovation sources and practices adopted in past studies. The SLR identifies 19 OIS and 16 OIP used by previous studies, highlighting occurrences of each OIS and OIP. Overall, the study offers an original and comprehensive view of openness based on both OIS and OIP opening venues for future research and help managers understand how to begin the open innovation journey.

Abstract
This paper aims to identify open innovation sources and practices used in the literature in order to explain “where” and “how” firms can acquire knowledge and technologies to follow an open innovation journey. Through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) from 2003 to 2017, 42 papers were identified and analysed to give us a better understanding of open innovation sources and practices adopted in past studies. The SLR identifies 19 OIS and 16 OIP used by previous studies, highlighting occurrences of each OIS and OIP. Overall, the study offers an original and comprehensive view of openness based on both OIS and OIP opening venues for future research and help managers understand how to begin the open innovation journey.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
