In this book, we consider the different approaches to or models of network-centric innovation and describe how companies can identify the approach that best fits with their particular market/innovation context and prepare for it by building the appropriate portfolio of organizational capabilities and competencies. We also identify new types of innovation intermediaries (e.g. Innovation Capitalist) that facilitate a firm’s interactions with diverse types of global innovation networks.
