A Strategy for the Analysis of Idea Innovation Networks and Institutions

Jerald Hage, J. Rogers Hollingsworth · 2000 · Organization Studies

Summary. This paper argues that radical innovations in science-based industries emerge from idea innovation networks spanning six research arenas: basic research, applied research, product development, production, quality control, and commercialization. The authors find that innovation success depends on diversity of knowledge and frequent communication within arenas, plus intense cross-arena communication to transfer tacit knowledge. Institutional environments shape arena size and connectivity, with patterns suggesting either national innovation systems or globalization effects.
