Networks, alliances, and partnerships are essential to the innovation of complex technologies.As used here, networks refer to organizational systems that exist to carry out the innovation of technologies. Networks are composed of multiple organizations that, at a minimum, range from the holders of core capabilities, to the suppliers of complimentary assets, to user organizations (see Figure 1). Alliances and partnerships are organizational relationships (of varying structure) commonly used to establish critical linkages in the networks that carry out the innovation of complex technologies. |
