A growing body of research acknowledges that inter-organizational networks greatly influence a firm's innovation performance. This study extends our understanding of this relationship by considering the effect of inter-organizational networks on innovation in small, knowledge-intensive companies. Based on a literature review, we formulate four propositions regarding the moderating effects of firm size and knowledge intensity on the relationship between inter-organizational networks and innovation, as well as the influence of these factors on the development of the inter-organizational networks themselves.

Many technical studies related to the development of biomass energy have been conducted. However, for technical solutions to contribute to economic development, they must be accepted in the market. Furthermore, improved knowledge on biomass supply and policy effects is critical in facilitating an increased flow from source to end user. The special issue “Bioenergy markets” contains ten articles which give new insight into the importance of the behaviour of market agents, the function of markets, and biomass supply. It also sheds light on the challenges of both competition between fuel-related and other uses of biomass and competition between biomass and other energy solutions. Moreover, it illustrates the importance of environmental factors and the role of policy in this area.

Abstract
The present report outlines the processes and lists the data invented in a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of milk and meat produced at three modeled Norwegian dairy farms. The modeled farms represents typical dairy farms of average size and production intensity located in the three most important milk and beef production counties of Norway, i.e. Rogaland, Nord-Trøndelag and Oppland. Information on management and yields was collected from available statistics, results from recent research as well as informal interviews of farmers and supervisors in farmers extension services. Descriptions and data on buildings, machinery and equipment, consumption of diesel and oil, fertilizer, lime, seeds, pesticides, fences, polyethylene and additives for silage production, detergents, medicines, sawdust, cow matrasses, forages, concentrates and mineral supplement are given. Transport distances of major inputs (i.e. fertilizers, lime, feed concentrates, sawdust, and health care service) to the farm are also included. All data presented are on an annual basis at farm
