In order to become valuable, the relations in these knowledge webs need to be of a `generative character`. Our findings indicate that there are three different factors contributing to making relations in the web generative and thereby valuable. These three factors are (1) a balance between novelty and confirmation in knowledge exchanges, (2) complementary of competencies, and (3) shared visions across organizational borders. We examine each of these potential factors for creating value in detail and also discuss how organizations can improve their ability to build generative relations
