In social science research and organizational psychology, boundary spanning is a term to describe individuals within an innovation system who have, or adopt, the role of linking the organization's internal networks with external sources of information.[1] While the term was coined by Tushman,[1] the concept was being developed by social scientists from the late 1950s onwards.[2][3][4] Most of the early work was conducted in large American corporations with well-established R&D laboratories. The term has since been used in relation to more general innovation networks.[5]
