Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to present a theoretical analysis on the capabilities (at the organizational) and
skills (at the individual level) of the hub organization (orchestrator) in an innovation network.
Design/methodology/approach – The authors conducted literature reviews on the orchestration of
innovation networks; and networking capabilities.
Findings – This study presents a theoretical model and a research agenda.
Originality/value – In interorganizational relations, a central actor can stand out the role of intentionally creating,
extracting and distributing value in the network, generating gains for all members. Literature recognizes this set of
intentional and deliberate actions as the “orchestration” of resources in the network. Despite the increasing interest
regarding the theme, the phases and specific capabilities for orchestration still lack further investigation.
