Abstract
This special issue looks at partnership approaches to innovation thanks to recent developments in ICT, which enable the acquisition and transfer of skills, thus changing the processes and organization of firms. It is therefore essential to understand how ICT is used to establish internal and external collaborations for innovation. For this reason, we first examine the ICT used for innovation collaborations and how they contribute to the innovation process. The five articles then examine the effectiveness of ICT in three internal collaborations and two innovation partnerships. Finally, we propose a number of avenues for further research to better understand how ICTs and their use modify the way innovation takes place and the underlying organizational processes.

Les cinq articles examinent ensuite l’efficacité des TIC dans trois collaborations internes et deux partenariats d’innovation. Enfin, nous proposons quelques pistes de recherche pour mieux comprendre comment les TIC et leur utilisation usages modifient la manière d’innover et les processus organisationnels sous-jacents.

Por lo tanto, es esencial comprender cómo se utilizan las TIC para establecer colaboraciones de innovación internas y externas. Así pues, examinamos en primer lugar las TIC utilizadas para las colaboraciones de innovación y cómo contribuyen al proceso de innovación. A continuación, examinamos la eficacia de las TIC en tres colaboraciones internas y dos asociaciones para la innovación. Por último, proponemos algunas vías de investigación para comprender mejor cómo las TIC y su uso modifican la forma en que se lleva a cabo la innovación y los procesos organizativos subyacentes.
