Resumen
- While innovation is called upon as an answer to the global slump, there isn’t a shared idea about “what innovation and how to be innovative”, especially when it refers to SMEs. This paper sets the findings of the early stage of a research aimed at highlighting the role of inter-organizational processes supporting innovation that has cross-sectional nature and involves SMEs. The object of the research is the start-up process of a cross-sectional network, focused on product innovation, consisting in six hi-tech small and micro firms, located in the Region Emilia-Romagna. Theoretical background includes contributions on open innovation and learning by interacting, directly referred to SMEs. The analysis tries to identify some preliminary conditions to the establishment of successful cross-sectional networks and some “tools” to set off so that they work effectively.
