Innovation and Network

Summary/Abstract: Albeit, there is a fairly extended debate about networks and networking so far in the literature, there is no generally accepted, “perfect” definition. In the context of this study – the link between innovation, R & D, knowledge and networking – is the most appropriate definition: the system of interconnected, different types of organizations (companies, universities, etc.) that are local, national, regional or at the global level, they acquire and integrate the widest variety of knowledge. But this is just one side of the network. In addition to the transformation of professionalized, standardized “industrialized” innovation processes, the authors also examine the phenomenon of crowdsourcing, that is to say the ever-expanding contributions of everyday people to innovations. By relying on the opportunities offered by ICT, there is essentially everyone’s ability to engage with innovation networks, and this significantly extends the possibilities of innovation.
