The successful establishment and management of an effective innovation network is often a critical challenge for SMEs, meanwhile basic for performance outcomes. In fact for small organizations, extramural collaborations represent a key element in developing product/process innovation. An empirical study in the calibration industry provides some insights on this topic.
