Abstract
A growing body of scholars are advocating a better
understanding of how value is created in innovation networks,
i.e. the configurations of strategic entrepreneurial nets aimed at
improving the effectiveness of innovation performance.
However, research that explicitly connects value considerations
with innovation network configurations is still in its infancy,
with empirical evidence being notably scarce. This study is
aimed at identifying if and how network configurations affect
value constellation aspects in business networks. We
interviewed key informants representing 46 high-technology
entrepreneurial firms co-located in an innovation network
(Daresbury Science and Technology Park - UK). We identify
that different network configurations can co-exist in the same
overall network; these, nevertheless, are not alternative
independent structures, but rather they interact with each other
through actors spanning their boundaries. Our study thus
provides an understanding of network configurations relating
to specific value consequences, but also provides evidence
relating to the interactions between different configurations.
