Abstract :
This paper presents a study to investigate the effects of open innovation factors on supply chain behavior in Iranian gas industry. The study uses two questionnaires, one to measure the effects of open innovation factors developed by Chesbrough (2003) [Chesbrough, H. W. (2003). Open innovation: The new imperative for creating and profiting from technology. Harvard Business Press.] and the other to measure the effects of supply chain behavior. Using Pearson correlation ratio as well as Stepwise regression model, the study has determined a positive and meaningful relationship between open innovation and supply chain behavior. In our survey, while intellectual property management and networking had no impact on supply chain behavior, three variables of research and development, cooperation and entrepreneurship influence positively on supply chain behavior.
