“…This author proposes a conceptual framework that consists of six governance strategies, namely, participating, developing frameworks, managing interactions, sponsoring resources, establishing visions, and diplomacy. Pikkarainen et al () examined the roles and actions of innovation network orchestrators to facilitate activities in different phases of the innovation process. Their study shows that evolving and even changing orchestrator roles are necessary for innovation networks to achieve the expected results.…”

Although R&D networks have been increasingly used by companies to foster innovation through collaboration, there are still challenges regarding how to successfully orchestrate such projects. The goal of this study is to analyse how a hub firm orchestrates an R&D network through collaborative practices. We based our study on the three orchestration subprocesses proposed by Dhanaraj and Parkhe, namely, to foster knowledge mobility, guarantee innovation appropriability, and maintain network stability. To achieve our goal, we analysed the collaborative practices in an R&D network in the semiconductor industry in France. The case consists of an R&D network among 26 companies to create a new transistor. The data include 65 interviews and 192 documents. The study contributes to the literature on network orchestration by showing that specific collaborative practices performed by a hub firm enable a fourth orchestration subprocess—network reconfiguration—which is necessary in long‐lasting and complex R&D networks and also affects the other three subprocesses. Network reconfiguration consists in disassociating and attracting new members to the R&D network to cover knowledge demands, and is performed by the hub‐firm through specific collaborative practices. The results can benefit practitioners by showing which collaborative practices may be useful for a hub firm throughout the development of an R&D network.

“…Networks for instance related to R&D and innovation has been widely researched and characterized by uncertainly during the past decade (Arrow, 1974;Möller & Rajala, 2007;Henttonen, 2008;Hurmelinna-Laukkanen, et al, 2012). Such networks have been exploited from the perspective of independence, stability, dynamism, collaboration, competition, formality, management requirements as well as innovation orchestration roles and practices (Henttonen, 2008;Moenaert, et al, 2000;Hurmelinna-Laukkanen, et al, 2012;Pikkarainen, et al, 2017). Additionally, the innovation network studies have been increasingly done focusing on the organizational interaction and orchestration that is happening in different networks and ecosystems (Dhanaraj & Parkhe, 2006;Laperche, et al, 2008;Reypens, et al, 2016).…”

Data is becoming a more and more important resource for future innovations. Companies are currently considering how to leverage personal data in preventive healthcare and in other sectors. However, there are many challenges hindering the development of data-driven businesses in extant business networks. The purpose of this paper is to explore the success factors of data-driven service delivery networks in the context of preventive healthcare. The results are examples of the benefits and challenges of data availability and usage, based on a qualitative case study, in which a network of actors is integrating resources to solve the needs of their end customers. The results underline the success factors for service delivery networks, creating a baseline for human-centric, personalized and preventive healthcare solutions. The study enriches the theoretical perspective of data, services and service delivery networks by continuing discussion on how big data resources become cooperative assets not only in a firm but also on the network level. This study has multiple implications for practitioners trying to navigate the turbulent waters of the changing business environment and evolving service delivery network of preventive healthcare. Especially small and medium size of firms could use the identified success factors when planning new data-driven services in their networks. Our analysis brings new perspective between a firm and the actors in its network, particularly in the preventive healthcare sector wherein data needs to be shared between actors via consent of the individuals.

“…In this project, the researchers acted as orchestrators and enablers for the data access needed in the process of researching, designing, and developing the solution. They therefore had firsthand experience with innovation network orchestration in a information mobility since it has been frequently identified as crucial in the context of connected health environments (Pikkarainen et al, 2017). Information mobility refers to making sure that relevant knowledge or data is available in the innovation network (Dhanaraj & Parkhe 2006, Hurmelinna-Laukkanen & Nätti, 2018.…”
