Abstract

© 1997 PICMET. The paper presents a concept of knowledge generating network as a model of an R and D system. Conceptual, personal and organizational networks are reviewed and an integrated model of a knowledge generating system for technological innovation is proposed. This model assumes that organizational networks support connections among individual researchers (personal network) who create new concepts and solutions which add to the conceptual network. A hypothesis is presented concerning possibility of using the neural network as a metaphor in further studies on R and D networks.
