Abstract

?Among recent innovation, open business models (Chesbrough, 2006) refer to business models promoting a division of the innovation process and organizing knowledge sharing with coopetitors. In this paper, we address the following question: what are the consequences, in terms of performance over time, of the adoption of an open BM? We study the U.S. Role Playing Game industry in which the leader moved from a proprietary business model to an open one before coming back to a closer approach. Several lessons can be drawn from the case study concerning especially the dynamics of value capture and value generation mechanisms, the unpredictable effects of an open business model and the drawbacks and risks of such an initiative.?
