What Wikipedia says

Not invented here (NIH) is the tendency to avoid using or buying products, research, standards, or knowledge from external origins. It is usually adopted by social, corporate, or institutional cultures. Since 2014, management research has shown the existence of a strong bias against ideas from the outside.
