Researchers have highlighted multiple benefits that open innovation offers. Extant literature often discusses factors of open innovation that increase innovation performance. However, open innovation does not always bring higher innovation performance and reasons for this are not adequately addressed in the existing literature. The objective of this research study is to increase understanding of factors that can hinder innovation performance in open innovation implementations. Special attention has given to convergence. In this case, convergence refers to alignment and coordination between innovation partner firms. The empirical data for this research study will be gathered from software firms in Sri Lanka. The background for this study is the software firms in Sri Lanka which have not reached the expectation that have been placed on them.<\/i><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">Keywords<\/span><br \/><i style=\"color: #666666; font-size: 11pt;\">Absorptive capacity, Convergence, Innovation performance, Open innovation<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-27800 kc_row\"><div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\"><div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-891243 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"kc-col-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-51453\" style=\"height: 20px; clear: both; width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-259891 kc_text_block\"><\/p>\n<p><b>Download<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-465417 kc_row\"><div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\"><div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-671811 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"kc-col-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-73537 kc-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/v4.1-Improving-Innovation-Performance-by-Convergence-in-Open-Innovation.pdf\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\">\n\t\t<i class=\"fa-file-pdf\"><\/i>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-196489 kc_row\"><div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\"><div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-366284 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"kc-col-container\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":2599,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2609"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2609"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2609\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2619,"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2609\/revisions\/2619"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
