Orchestration Processes in Network-Centric Innovation: Evidence From the Field.
Abstract
Executive Overview Companies have increasingly shifted from innovation initiatives that are centered on internal resources to those that are centered on external networks (said another way, a shift from firm-centric innovation to network-centric innovation). In this paper, we combine insights from product development and network theory with evidence from an extensive field study to describe the nature of a hub firm's orchestration processes in network-centric innovation. Our analysis indicates that network orchestration processes reflect the interplay between elements of innovation design and network design. Promising directions for future research related to network-centric innovation are discussed.

Orchestration of business strategy across networks, such as supply chains, is a process in which different stakeholder incentives are made explicit and aligned in such a way that a governance structure emerges for the benefit of the network as a whole, not just one dominant firm.
“The orchestration of business strategy across networks, such as supply chains, is a process in which different stakeholder incentives are made explicit and aligned in such a way that a governance structure emerges for the benefit of the network as a whole, not just one dominant firm (Nambisan & Sawhney, 2011; Parida, Burstr ¨ om, Visnjic, & Win cent, 2019).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
