Abstract
This article illustrates our concept of knowledge networks for growth, i.e. social networks that support companies' growth strategy by their ability to share and create knowledge. We adapted the framework of intra-organizational networks to set up networks in three different growth areas: growth through the acquisition of external knowledge and its integration through merger and acquisitions; the support of internal innovation proc-esses through the coordination of the innovation activities of independent business groups or units, and, lastly, growth through the integration of cus-tomers' tacit knowledge in the internal innovation process.
