| Tiivistelmä: | In this paper the author discusses the effect of informal networks in the development, dissemination and exchange of knowledge within the R&D function. The author examines the topic through a case study and by using a social network analysis to compare and contrast formal and informal knowledge networks within ICI. The findings suggest that through a better understanding of the informal organization of R&D staff, the managers can better capture and use new ideas; more succesfully disseminate information throughout the function and more effectively recognize the working habits and activities of employees. |
