The cocktail of small firms and high technology creates a high
level of uncertainty, which is one of the most dominant
characteristics of high technology development and the conditions
for management. 'Strategic Networking in Small High Tech Firms' is
concerned with strategic management of knowledge in small firms and
in networks of high tech firms. The focus is on innovation and
advanced high technology, leading to problems of handling
uncertainty at the boundaries of knowledge. Small firms have to
depend on alliances and networks as to create resources for
innovative projects. Strategic networking is based on an
understanding of the mechanisms of network for organising, and a
new perspective on management. Knowledge management is described as
a social construction of management or as management of what we do
not know. Small firms play an important role in Denmark, primarily
due to the relatively few large firms in the country. Instead of
focusing on the weaknesses of being small, the study has focused on
how small firms develop platforms for management beyond the firm.
Small firms form an interesting base for understanding the process
of building networking strategies for innovation management under
high levels of uncertainty, as they have to build power bases and
create management as a social construction in a space between
firms. The focus is on how small firm managers create a platform
for manoeuvring and adapting to the conditions of the environment
through various forms of collaboration and strategic use of
networks.
