Analysing technology and innovation in complex networks: processes, dynamics, and development of multi-level interorganisational networks

Thesis

There is still very little known about network dynamics (Bell et al., 2006), especially when focusing on interorganisational networks (Provan et al., 2007). There is also limited empirical evidence on leadership within these complex network contexts (Davenport, 2005; Osborn et al., 2002).
