• Three principal challenges have to be overcome when forming innovation networks: building partnerships, integrating value contributions, and coordinating innovation processes.

• Information systems play a central role in tackling these three challenges.

• Information management must pay attention to managing the aspects of “who, what and how” in networked innovation.
