Inom forskningsfronten finns få bidrag som behandlar inbound open innovation aktiviteter i en svensk kontext. Parida et al. (2012) har tidigare berört IT-sektorn. Den här studien behandlar SMFs inom fordonsindustrin. Resultatet från studien är i linje med tidigare forskning som påvisat att olika inbound open innovation aktiviteter kan driva på företagets innovationsprestation (ex. Parida et al. 2012). Dock efterfrågas att andra industrier behandlas vilket ytterligare kan förbättra helhetsbilden och även öka generaliserbarheten.
Vidare är det intressant om framtida forskning närmare utreder relationen mellan teknologisk anskaffning och företagens innovationsprestation. Enligt studiens resultat föreligger ingen signifikant relation mellan variablerna. Tidigare forskning som berört andra branscher har påvisat att aktiviteten teknologisk anskaffning främjar företagens innovationsprestation (ex. Atuahene-Gima 1992; Tao & Magnotta 2006). Således efterfrågas en studie som kan generera insikter i vilka friktioner som förhindrar SMFs inom fordonsindustrin att i större utsträckning tillämpa teknologisk anskaffning.
