Walter and Gem€ unden 2000; Folkerts 2001; Papies 2006; Gem€unden et al. 2007). The role items describe specific types of behaviour of persons occupying these roles to overcome different barriers. They also include the power base – the foundations of the role owners’ influence. Another approach is to ask respondents to list colleagues present during the innovation process who fit the description of promotors. g. Hauschildt and Kirchmann 2001; Rost et al. 2007). To assign a role to each of the innovation network members, we used item scales with up to ten items for each of the four promotor roles.
However, when it comes to innovation networks, the (informal) role of innovative actors in contributing to an innovation project, their (informal) interactions, and their identification with the network have not been sufficiently investigated empirically so far (Cf. Thoms 2003) for first conceptualizations of promotors’ roles in innovation networks, Gerybadze (2003) for a conceptual discussion of group dynamics in innovation networks, Fichter and Beucker (2008) and Fichter (2009) for further conceptual discussions and first case studies).
Finally, it is investigated if the presence of an innovation community has an effect on project performance. For this purpose, the quantitative definition of an innovation community (see above) was used, taking active innovation community members and a high quality of group identity and group interaction into account. g. Baier et al. 2006; Rese and Baier 2011). This sample was updated by excluding inactive networks and searching for newly formed networks in highly innovative branches of industry (nanotechnology, solar energy, information and communication technology).
