This work contributes to entrepreneurship research and offers practical implications for entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship promotors by critically analyzing a networked approach to value creation processes of young knowledge-intensive entrepreneurial firms and assessing precise strategies and tactics for entrepreneurial firms to exploit these structures. In this context the concept of co-innovation competence is introduced and empirically analyzed. Results indicate that entrepreneurs follow a specific approach towards networking minimizing transaction costs taking an on-demand-based perspective of networking. In this case entrepreneurs may relate to regional innovation promotors and also reach beyond regional structures to explore suitable partners and exploit structural holes.

这项工作有助于创业研究，并通过批判性地分析年轻知识密集型创业企业价值创造过程的网络化方法，评估创业企业利用这些过程的精确战略和策略，为企业家和创业促进者提供实际意义结构。在此背景下，引入了合作创新能力的概念并进行了实证分析。结果表明，企业家遵循一种特定的联网方法，即从按需联网的角度最大限度地降低交易成本。在这种情况下，企业家可能与区域创新推动者有关联，也可能超越区域结构，寻找合适的合作伙伴并利用结构漏洞。
