    I developed a model of the corporate innovation process with three activities (i.e., information search, resource mobilisation and knowledge integration) and investigated how the social networks of innovation project managers influenced their projects’ performance. Social network data was collected in face-to-face meetings with project managers of three European multinationals. Performance data was collected from higher-level managers. Dissertation committee: Sumantra Ghoshal, Peter Moran, and Freek Vermeulen.
