| Abstract: | This article develops a theoretical framework on how to leverage learning alliances across extra- and intra-corporated levels to support both exploration and exploitation of innovation to secure its creation and implementation. A detailed case of the Volvo C70 development is analysed. The analysis focuses on how the full innovation from exploration to exploitation of innovation seem to rely on fundamentally different types and structures of networks. The detailed description and analysis of how a "transformation network" was established and operated across different organizational levels to secure transfer and transformation and integration of knowledge into commercialized innovation makes an important contribution to extant theory on inter-organizational knowledge transfer and networking. |
