The paper investigates the practice of Open Innovation (OI) of university spin-offs.
Three interviews were conducted to discuss the knowledge of spin-offs about OI, their
attitude to this innovation management strategy based on perceived advantages and
disadvantages, and their motivation towards OI practice in the future. Problems with
planning, control and trust appear to be some of the most important for OI success.
Focusing on these and other urgent aspects of OI, the article discusses a research
agenda that can help in formulating research questions and hypothesis, thus directing
their efforts to search for solutions to identified problems.
