Power in intercommunal knowledge networks: on the endogenous dynamics of network governance and knowledge creation
This paper presents empirical and theoretical findings about the endogenous dynamics of interorganisational knowledge networks. Based on a qualitative study of intercommunal knowledge networks in local employment policy a model of knowledge network life cycles is outlined, empirically illustrated, and theoretically explained. It is argued, that the interdependence of knowledge, power and trust plays a central role for the internal dynamics of networks. The paper also aims to show why network innovation and creativity is often closely linked to internal conflicts. The results have consequences for a dynamical concept of network governance.
