In 1993, approximately 13 years after the Strategic Management Journal was launched, an annual best paper prize was established by co-sponsors Wiley and the Strategic Management Society to honor substantial work published in the SMJ. The award is for a paper published five or more years prior to the recognition. This delay allows time for the impact of papers to be assessed in terms of citations and influence of the paper on teaching, research, and/or practice. Once eligible, a paper remains eligible until selected as the best paper. Continued eligibility allows recognition to be made for those insights and findings that sometimes occur before their time and only become widely recognized as significant until other work is published.
The award committee consists of the Editorial Board of the Strategic Management Journal.
Authors of the winning paper receive a monetary award of US $5,000. The award is given and the author(s) are recognized at the SMS Annual Conference and are invited to participate in the SMS Awards & Honors Webinar Series.
We are delighted to award the 2021 Dan and Mary Lou Schendel Best Paper Prize to Keld Laursen and Ammon Salter for “Open for Innovation: The Role of Openness in Explaining Innovation Performance among Manufacturing Firms.” Published in 2006, this outstanding paper was a pioneering study in the then-nascent area of open innovation. Empirically, it was among the first to examine open innovation through a large-sample study. Theoretically, the authors persuasively decomposed external search into breadth- and depth-related components, each of which has a distinct effect on innovative outcomes. This paper has proven to be a key linchpin in the evolution of the open innovation literature. Not surprisingly, it is one of the most highly cited articles published in Strategic Management Journal over the last 15 years, and appears on numerous syllabi of graduate courses in technology strategy. Congratulations, Keld and Ammon!

Open innovation and external search for innovation has become a critical value creation and capture strategy among business firms over recent decades. Keld Laursen's and Ammon Salter's 2006 award-winning SMJ article “Open for Innovation: The role of openness in explaining innovative performance among UK manufacturing firms” addressed the issue of how open innovation in terms of search breadth and depth can help explain firms’ innovative performance at different levels of novelty, when factoring in the firms’ overall R&D strategy.
In this seminar, Laursen and Salter take their 2006-paper as a starting point and reflect on why open innovation remains of critical importance for firms pursuing an innovation strategy. They will explore why the paper became influential, discussing the research streams that preceded it and that have followed it. We highlight new research questions that emerge from this body of work, exploring the need to consider more carefully both social context and the individual-level in the analysis of open innovation. Finally, they will outline some important implications of recent research on open innovation for business practice, highlighting the "dark" side of openness with respect to who controls key resources and captures value.
