Description: The inclusion of a cross cultural lens to view open innovation alliances (OIA's) has received limited attention to date. This article seeks to address this shortfall by studying the linkages between cultural differences and key barriers to knowledge exchange. Utilising Nonaka's SECI model and concept of 'Ba' as a conceptual framework, cultural influences on absorptive capacity, causal ambiguity, and arduous relationship will be explored so as to extend the open innovation paradigm. To accomplish this, a case study will be carried out on an Australian-Chinese OIA.
