Opis

In recent years, both managers and management scholars have regarded the networked firm as a promising organizational form. This book analyses when, why, and how firms engage in such forms of inter-organizational networking as strategic alliances, joint ventures, and long-term accords for collaboration among competitors as well as with suppliers and customers. The contributors outline how firm strategies, catalysts, and trust between actors shape the emergence and the types of inter-organizational collaboration.

Recenzje

The chapters written by De Laat, by Lutz, and by Lipparini and Sobrero have the rigor needed to make lasting contributions to the literature. They are worth reading and should be required reading in relevant courses on organizations.
