Overview

Econometric study reveals that innovation team educational diversity promotes open innovation in firms, indicating that diverse expertise enhances external knowledge search.

Key Points

  • To evaluate how the educational diversity of firm innovation teams affects openness to external knowledge sources and collaborative innovation across different appropriability regimes.
  • Analyzed data from 1,718 firms with innovation intentions using two waves of the Colombian Innovation Survey (EDIT: 2015–2016 for lagged independent variables, 2017–2018 for dependent variables).
  • Applied fractional probit regression models to assess two dimensions of openness: external knowledge search and formal collaboration for innovation.
  • Innovation team educational diversity showed a positive relationship with both external knowledge search and formal collaboration, particularly within sectors operating under high appropriability regimes.
  • The hypothesized inverted U-shaped relationship was only partially supported; while diversity fostered broader external search, extreme heterogeneity constrained formal collaboration.
