For\ncooperation to be effective, the enterprise must focus on minimizing the various barriers\nassociated with opening up research and development processes. One of the factors that\nsupport open innovation is the core values that are shown in the daily work of employees.\nCore values affect employee motivation as well as innovation and enterprise performance.\nThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between core values and opening\ninnovation process. A research on a sample of 60 innovative enterprises was conducted\nthrough a questionnaire survey. One questionnaire was sent to each surveyed organization\nwith the request that a person with a broad view of the whole organization would be the one\nto fill it. Open innovations were considered in four aspects: internal cooperation, cooperation\nwith suppliers and customers as well as research institutions. Other key variables analyzed\nin the research are organizational culture, structure, strategy formulation, technology,\nenterprise environment, core values and leadership.
