Public procurement and innovation: towards a taxonomy (2008, background): “However, “development pairs” (Fridlund, 1993) are only one of several kinds of innovation networks (Powell & Grodal, 2004; Tidd, Bessant & Pavitt, 1997).”
Do different types of innovation rely on specific kinds of knowledge interactions (2008, background): “Innovation networks may take different forms (De Bresson and Amesse, 1991; Powell and Grodal, 2005): some are based on formal agreements or contracts (R&D-cooperations, R&D-alliances, research consortia) including formal statements on the sharing of tasks, cost, benefits, and revenues.”
