Abstract

For companies' creative talents and outcomes, effective search and convergence of internal and external knowledge becomes more and more crucial. In order for companies to reach this objective, they participate in numerous open innovation connections to create and capture value in multi-stakeholder situations. Due to the contradictory position of essential information, difficulties might give rise to a transparency paradox. It explores the idea of a paradox in a paradox, which is found in the paradox of openness. We integrate a viewpoint of knowledge and develop a mathematical model that reveals crucial ways to control these pressures to the other direction through innovative information uncertainty. This unsafeness exacerbates the tensions of transference by complexing information transfer and integration across organisational borders and alleviating the possibility of tackling these key conflicts of information by defining differentiating and consolidating processes to promote simultaneous sharing of knowledge while reducing the risk of disclosure.
