How firms
that collaborate can be far more
innovative then firms that compete.
New forms of organization are important to business in dealing
with global competition and the race to market innovative
products. One such model is that of firms working together to take
advantage of their shared base of knowledge and business prowess.
These communities of networked firms are often more innovative and
able to meet today's challenges faster and better than those firms
who are not part of a network.
