| Empirical studies do not examine openness' effects on coproduction. The present study adopts a technology¡Vorganization¡Venvironment (TOE) framework to discuss the effects of TOE openness (openness of technology, openness of corporate culture, and openness to external environment) on coproduction. In addition, coproduction is central concerns in fast changing manufacturing and services environments. Yet, very few collaboration research studies have examined the impact of coproduction on firm performance, especially in financial and non-financial performance. This study further proposes coproduction mediates the relationship between TOE openness and firm performance. The discussion and conclusions will lead to a stronger understanding of TOE openness and coproduction. |
