Abstract

The objective of this paper is triple: 1. Firstly, it seeks to determine the contribution of innovation networks to business growth, and in particular SMEs. 2. Secondly, it tries to propose a typology of growth. In this context, it has the innovation networks as an element that focuses on three axes: innovation, information, and knowledge. Combining pairs of these three axes leads to four types of growth: growth provisional, negotiated growth, random growth and sustained growth. It should be noted that the latter (i.e. the sustained growth) is the goal of any leader/ manager. 3. Thirdly, it specifies the contribution of each axis for each type of growth.
