Second, it focuses on the actors of technology development. Although Rappa and Dehackere (December, 1991) economists and management scholars have demonstrated an interest in the process of technological innovation, their focus has mainly been on contextual factors influencing innovative performance. As a consequence, the aaors involved in the process have received much less anention. In the same vein, the community concept turns anention away from all forms of interorganizational linkages, such... as joint-ventures and alliances, in order to study information exchange behavior among technologists themselves. We conjecture that understanding this behavior is imperative if one wants to capitalize on it. In other words, we need to investigate to what extent communities are relevant loci of technological knowledge and information. The analogy with the sociological writings on the functioning of scientific communities (Hagstrom, 1965; Crane, 1972; Hull, 1988) will be obvious. However, a technological community is not the same as a scientific community.
