Abstract
The way the firm uses its technological resources and competences, the ability to combine/recombine
components, methods, processes and techniques to offer products and services plays a central role on
the innovation process (AFUAH, 2002). As Indarti (2010) points out, the interactions are a key element
in the process of gaining access to, acquire, and develop knowledge for the stimulation of a firm’s
activities in the field of innovation. From the intra‐firm perspective, to innovate, Paruchuri (2010) argues
that a firm that can improve the diffusion of knowledge internally will benefit from enhanced innovative
activity. Aalbers (2015) reflecting on the governance of knowledge sharing inside organizations, suggest
that knowledge may come to be difficult to transfer because of the boundaries dynamics. In light of
these authors insights the aim of this paper is to present an overview of the research regarding
Interactions, Innovation and Intra‐firm Coordination. For that, we performed a bibliometrics study
within the Web of Science (WoS) and the Elsevier’s Scopus libraries. A final sample of 111 papers were
built after several refinements. The results suggest a growing tendency of the publications on the
subject. The most cited papers have a gap of almost twelve years in between it, which shows that the
construction of knowledge, about the topics innovation interactions and intra‐firm coordination are still
attached to what was published a long time ago, for the initiators of this research field, but the works of
Dolfsma et al (2008) and Leendert et al (2015) shows us a new trend and that new researchers are using
these brand new works as references to perform new studies.
