Abstract :
How R&D network boundary spanning works? We review the literature of boundary spanning of a firm, and propose an integrative framework of how R&D boundary spanning activities works in terms of geographic, organizational and knowledge boundaries, based upon the review of R&D network literature. Our framework has some theoretical implications for R&D boundary spanning literature and innovation research, and some practical implications for the firms.
