RT Journal Article T1 A Framework Based on Sustainability, Open Innovation, and Value Cocreation Paradigms—A Case in an Italian Maritime Cluster A1 Rupo, Daniela A1 Perano, Mirko A1 Centorrino, Giovanna A1 Vargas Sánchez, Alfonso AB The paper deals with a case study in an Italian maritime cluster seen through a multipleparadigms framework, based on Sustainability (SUS), Open Innovation (OI), and Value Co-creation(VCc). The proposed theoretical framework helps to interpret a true phenomenon consisting of thedesign of a new product with a prototype created in a network of multiple actors. The approachadopted stems in part from recent writings in qualitative research methodology and is quite apt in thiscontext considering the qualitative, confirmatory nature of this work. The prototype named “TESEOI” was realized through open innovation aimed at sustainability, not only directed at environmentalaspects but synergistically with value cocreation, which emerged from interaction among the actors,while also including social and economic aspects. The work concludes with a discussion of theoreticalimplications related to the proposed framework and the results that emerged from the case study,with both referring to sustainability, open innovation, and value cocreation.
