This paper provides a framework comprising of research agenda explicating the relations between IT Capability and Firm Innovation. Firm innovation is conceptualized as a combination of three constructs: networks, capabilities (absorptive capacity), and commercialization of innovations (CI)....

This paper employs inductive qualitative and social network analyses to investigate the combined effect of the formal and informal structures on the outcomes of six R&D projects. The results suggest that success is enhanced through a unique project design¿one that interweaves the social advice...
