Working Paper
Exploring the Dynamics of Innovation in Organizational Knowledge Networks
We examine the patterns of action that characterize successful and unsuccessful discretionary, cross-functional, innovation networks in a large health care system. These networks are faced with the task of constituting themselves for successful generation of organizational innovation and change. Successful networks organized themselves sensitively to the knowledge system of the health care system; actions in the cognitive-structural and political domains reflected the close link between knowledge, structure, and power. Because of the close link between knowledge and power, only incremental change was obtained even by the more successful networks.
