Identifying Potential Partnership for Open Innovation by using Bibliographic Coupling and Keyword Vector Mapping

As open innovation has received increasingly attention in the management of innovation, the importance of identifying potential partnership is increasing. This paper suggests a methodology to identify the interested parties as one of Innovation intermediaries to enable open innovation with patent network. To implement the methodology, multi-stage patent citation analysis such as bibliographic coupling and information visualization method such as keyword vector mapping are utilized. This paper has contribution in that it can present meaningful collaboration keywords to identified potential partners in network since not only citation information but also patent textual information is used. Keywords—Open innovation, partner selection, bibliographic coupling,Keyword vector mapping, patent network.
