Collaborative innovation and adaptive innovation process of network organization: A multi-case study

This paper intends to carry out study on collaborative innovation and adaptive innovation from the perspective of network theory and constructs the collaborative innovation and adaptive innovation model on the basis of the literature review of innovation, innovation process, the relationship between network and innovation, which means through special screening mechanisms, innovation products come forward on the condition of the interaction among the diverse heterogeneous network agents. Through the analysis and comparison among ten cases from four levels of individual, team, intra-organization and inter-organization, we verified the proposed innovation model to make contribution to innovation theory and network theory.
