Abstract

Le développement du modèle d’open innovation (Chesbrough, 2003) incite les entreprises à mobiliser de plus en plus de sources externes pour améliorer les performances de leur processus de développement d’innovation. Or dans un modèle où de plus en plus de développeurs appartiennent à des organisations différentes ou sont des utilisateurs finaux comment organiser l’appropriation privée de la valeur ? Le modèle laisse cette question pendante en particulier dans le cas de l’innovation développée en coopération. Or dans les risques liés à la coopération ont été identifiés depuis longtemps (Teece, 1986). Mais, parallèlement, de plus en plus de travaux soulignent également les effets positifs de la diffusion des informations (von Hipppel & von Krogh, 2003). Dans les accords de coopération, il existe alors une tension entre le choix d’une stratégie visant à renforcer les moyens de protection et l’incitation à limiter les stratégies très protectrices restreignant la diffusion des informations. C’est pourquoi l’objectif du papier sera d’analyser les moyens de protection des entreprises dans le cadre des coopérations afin de voir si les entreprises utilisent une stratégie plus ouverte dans le cadre coopératif. Nous utiliserons pour ce faire les données de l’enquête communautaire sur l’innovation CIS3 sur les entreprises de l’industrie manufacturière française de plus de 20 salariés. Nous traiterons les données à l’aide d’un modèle logistique. Nous obtenons comme résultat une tendance au renforcement de la stratégie de protection dans le cadre des coopérations via l’utilisation du secret pour protéger les innovations avec 3 types de partenaires de coopération différents. De plus, les firmes mobilisent une stratégie de complémentarité dans l’utilisation des moyens de protection ce qui conduit également au renforcement de la stratégie de protection dans aun cadre coopératif.
