Abstract:

Knowledge sharing and collaborative research between different industries are commonly highlighted as major factors in the innovation process. In addition, it is an extremely important factor in accomplishing biotech businesses. For this investigation, we carry out a bibliometric analysis of the research that has been made public throughout the preceding five years. The analysis reveals that the primary objective of biotech businesses is the transfer of knowledge and that the industry as a whole also strives toward the collaborative exploration and digitalization of technological accomplishments. This information was gleaned from the strategic level of organizational cooperation patterns. Executives in charge of distribution at biotechnology companies have the potential to play a significant role in the expansion and preservation of innovation within their organizations. This study investigates the relationship between open innovation, knowledge transfer, and the overall performance of organizations when distributive leaders are present. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between open innovation, knowledge transfer, and the overall performance of organizations. In addition to this, it analyses the limitations as well as the potential implications that may arise in the future.
