The research method was descriptive-correlational, based on which the required information was collected randomly among 123 managers of technology companies by compiling and distributing a researcher-made questionnaire. The results of the analysis of research data with the help of structural equation modeling technique and partial least squares approach show that the increase of specific assets reduces outsourcing and increases the export of open innovation.
