The innovation is conceived as a social and interactive process, which is strengthens in reason of the wealth and density of the interactions among people and entities involved in this process. This article propases that the innovation management should be guided fundamentally in order to construct networks in pro of the innovation and to construct social and productive interactions.

This argument is developed by means of five points. It begins mentioning the importance and functions of the interactions in the innovation management. La ter it is shown that too the knowledge management and the innovation management cannot be developed satisfactorily without a good management of the interaction samong socioeconomic agents.

Then two tools are treated in order to manage the innovation, the Innovation Systems and the Innovation Networks, both permit to managers to study the contexts of their interest and to guide the innovative capacity toward wanted goals.

Next it suggest to managers a model that links the innovation, the knowledge and the networking, and finally, befare passing to the conclusions, it argues that is also necessary to know the context that will accept or will reject the innovations, in order to increase their probability of success.
