Strategic collaboration drives innovation among large companies and startups
Interorganizational partnerships gain prominence as an effective model for generating value and developing innovation ecosystems
An article by Mariela Fontenelle Assis, business consultant and associate researcher at FGV EAESP, and Thomaz Wood Jr., full professor at FGV EAESP, published in the magazine GV Executivo, presents a framework for the effective management of collaboration between large companies and startups in innovation ecosystems.
The study analyzes interorganizational relationships and the factors that determine the success or failure of asymmetric partnerships—those involving organizations of different sizes and structures. The research emphasizes that for these collaborations to yield mutual benefits, it is essential to establish clear objectives, align expectations, and develop governance mechanisms that ensure transparency and trust.
In addition to contributing to academic understanding of the topic, the article offers a practical approach for managers seeking to enhance open innovation processes. The proposed framework serves as a guide to identify risks, leverage synergies, and promote sustainable outcomes in complex collaborative environments.
