Orchestrating innovation networks: Alignment and orchestration profile approach
这篇概念性论文提出了编排画像方法,通过对齐原则将编排实践与不同类型创新网络的管理需求联系起来,识别出三种通用编排画像(转化型、变革型、超越型),为管理者提供有效编排解决方案的启发式工具。
This conceptual paper organizes and advances existing knowledge on the management practices of inter-organizational innovation networks by developing an orchestration profile approach. We utilize the principle of alignment to connect orchestration practices with the management requirements of different types of innovation networks. We explain that while goals and underlying value-creation logics differ in different types of innovation networks and, consequently, practices vary from network to network, generally applicable dimensions of orchestration can be identified that provide a useful analytical tool. By addressing the network types and orchestration dimensions simultaneously, we propose three innovation-network orchestration profiles, which we label translative, transformative, and transcending. These profiles are suggested to be generic and, as such, provide managerial heuristics for creating effective orchestration solutions for various innovation networks.
