| Abstract | Topic of interest : Modes of coordination, by reducing uncertainty and opportunistic behaviour,are essential in innovation networks. Indeed, these organizationals forms are particularly conducive to the exchange of information and transfer of know-how, which promotes opportunistic behaviour. In addition, the often tacit knowledge and the low level of predictability of results generate a high uncertainty. Thesis defended : Modes of coordination within a network of innovation vary according to a set of variables (the stage) and they influence the advancement of the project. Method : Seven innovation networks have been studied over a period of 12 to 15 months. 57 interviews were conducted and a large amount of secondary data was collected (internal partnership contracts, minutes of meetings, email /externs : website and news articles). To deal with these data, we conducted a manual thematic coding. Main results : Our empirical research shows that the coordination methods (trust, level of formality, distribution of results, safeguards against opportunistic behaviour and conflict resolution) vary according to three key variables : (1) the degree of dependence of the hub firm on the members of its network, (2) the existence of previous relations between the hub firm and the other companies and (3) the type of conflict if any exists. Contrary to the initial assumption that the phases of advancement directly affect the choice of a coordination mechanism, the results show that the coordination mechanisms change according to the resource needs of the hub firm that affect its degree of dependence on the others. |
