Orchestrating Innovation Networks
提出核心企业通过协调网络活动来创造和获取价值,包括知识流动、创新独占性和网络稳定性,强调网络成员不是被动反应,而是主动参与结构互动。
Innovation networks can often be viewed as loosely coupled systems of autonomous firms. We propose that hub firms orchestrate network activities to ensure the creation and extraction of value, without the benefit of hierarchical authority. Orchestration comprises knowledge mobility, innovation appropriability, and network stability. We reject the view of network members as inert entities that merely respond to inducements and constraints arising from their network ties, and we embrace the essential player-structure duality present in networks.
