Abstract

As a central feature of this Master Thesis, a literature review of two main topics was conducted. The two main topics researched were Innovation Networks and Knowledge Transfer.Through the analysis of existing literature, two objectives were pursued:

  1. 1.

    To illustrate state-of-the-art theories in both fields. This includes an extensive analysis of the definitions, motivations, benefits, and barriers to firms in both areas of research.

  2. 2.

    To identify gaps in the existing research and where this study can fill those gaps and contribute to the general discussion in both areas of research.
