The paper aims at analysing the way the socio-cultural context, where firms operate, affects the relationships they engage, particularly when exchange relationships (concerning, for instance, design and engineering activities) involve partners with complex knowledge from socio-culturally very different Countries. The relationship between knowledge and contexts and the implications for its transfer among considerably different and logistically far firms are exposed. The need of integrator nodes emerges. A special use will be made of recent surveys obtained from the network reorganisation in which General Electric is involved concerning aspects of designing and engineering in Europe, India and Mexico.
