科学和技术方面的突破越来越多地发生在非正式组织间创新者社区的公司之外。小组在跨公司，专业知识和地理上的特定主题上的努力可以充当一种新兴的组织形式，能够具有出色的生产力。Using data from computer science, basic research, and management strategy to identify and study these intense clusters of innovators, or ‘knowledge communities,’ this book illuminates the new organizational logics that govern such collective success.
The interplay between organizational boundaries and interorganizational collaboration reveals interesting and counterintuitive lessons about how science and technology work in practice. These insights fundamentally challenge the centrality of both firm boundaries and geographic clusters for innovation in favor of a decentralized network perspective.
Academics seeking to understand innovation in science and technology, allocators of grants and research support, corporate R&D departments, policy makers and NGOs, venture capitalists, and management consultants will all benefit from this original and challenging work.
