Abstract Open innovation integrates value creation and value capture,which plays a positive role in facilitating cooperative R&D and commercialization of knowledge.However,many relational governance issues such as strategic divergence and benefit conflict among organizations affect the innovation performance and commercialization efficiency,which have become the major obstacle to the practice of open innovation.Based on the process management perspective of "knowledge exploration→knowledge integration→commercialization",this paper investigates the formation mechanism of relational governance in open innovation and puts forward a framework about relational governance.It finds that maintaining the dynamic balance between value creation and value capture is the crucial measure to constrain organizations’ cooperative behaviors in open innovation,the combination of trust and relational norms will play a key role in relational governance.It also finds that internal rules and external behaviors will enhance innovation performance and relationship quality among organizations.The findings provide theoretical support for the relational governance of open innovation.
