There is growing concern over the challenges for innovation in Freight Pipeline industry. Since the early works of Chesbrough a decade ago, we have learned a lot about the content, context and process of open innovation. However, much more research is needed in Freight Pipeline Industry.

Based on this, we pursue the following question: How does a firm’s integration into knowledge networks depend on its ability to manage knowledge?

This paper aims to explain how can open innovation achieve its potential in most Freight Pipeline Industries
