Project: Open Innovation
Postdoctoral fellow at HSE University:
GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS (department of Strategic and International Management)
Project aim:
Companies have become mindful that to accelerate innovation they need to tap into both internal and external sources of knowledge. This trend of open innovation has led many companies to recognize the value of collaborative innovation not only with their partner companies, universities or startups, but also with individual external contributors—users and customers, field experts, students, or amateur innovation enthusiasts—who may provide valuable input to the company’s innovation projects.
Open innovation practices, such as crowdsourcing contests, community-based innovation, lead user workshops or hackathons have been considered to bring great value to companies in solving complex innovation and product development problems, allowing them to tap into expertise, experience and creative potential of individual contributors. The aim of this project is to explore how companies may organize effective open innovation projects, and attract high quality solutions from external contributors in response to their innovation challenges.
Tasks:
- To review the literature on open innovation, specifically growing research focused on crowdsourcing contests and hackathons;
- To collect empirical data about crowdsourcing contests and hackathons, through web-scraping, surveys and in-depth interviews;
- To analyze collected data using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, structural equation modelling, topic modelling or content analysis—depending on the data itself.
Requirements:
- Russian citizenship or foreign citizenship subject to obtaining an academic degree in the Russian Federation;
- Academic degree (Academic degree of Candidate of Sciences, successful defense of a candidate's dissertation, PhD degree);
-
Proficiency in academic English writing;
-
Advanced skills in R or SPSS.
Optional:
- Previous experience with topic modeling methodologies;
- Advanced web scraping skills;
- Previous experience with SmartPLS and NVivo.
Offer:
- From 110,000 rubles before tax deduction;
- Full time;
- Duration of work: 1 year with the possibility of extension for a second year;
- Equipped workplace at the university;
- Access to information resources, databases and electronic subscriptions of the HSE University;
- Participation in scientific and educational events and programs of the HSE University;
- Work in an international and interdisciplinary research group.
