Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research was to explore how inter-organizational network formation and management of innovative small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) influenced their innovativeness and knowledge accumulation. In addition, I was interested in how innovative SMEs mobilized and utilized resources and capabilities of organizations the SMEs transacted with. My research showed that the innovative SMEs I focused on tended to utilize resources and capabilities of their partners in proactive ways, and to combine these outside resources and capabilities with resources and capabilities within the SMEs in creative and productive manners. In order to achieve that, the SMEs also tended to build strong relationships with a few major firms the SMEs had partnerships with, while they had weak ties with firms in different industries and/or research institutes. Through the research, it was also observed that innovativeness and network formation of the SMEs depended on personal capabilities
