About

Dr. Maxime Ezequel is a leading voice in innovation management, with a particular focus on open innovation within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). His seminal work, "The journey in Open Innovation to develop a SME: A longitudinal case study in a French robotics company," provides a rare, in-depth look at how smaller firms can successfully implement outbound open innovation—a process often overlooked in favor of studies on large corporations. By tracing the strategic evolution of a robotics company, Dr. Ezequel reveals the practical challenges and managerial decisions required to commercialize internal ideas externally, moving beyond the typical focus on inbound technology sourcing. This case study, which has garnered 4 citations, serves as a foundational reference for scholars and practitioners seeking to understand the full spectrum of open innovation in resource-constrained environments. His work is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of entrepreneurship, technology management, and strategic innovation.
