Synopsis

The varying organizational arrangements between firms -- `networks'-- are a growing field of study for economics and sociologists. Whether described as strategic alliances, trading networks, joint ventures, or regarded as a product of industry structure or local conditions, they are seen as a form of economic co-ordination distinct from archetypal ideas of firms and markets.

The purpose of this collection -- with contributions from European and American scholars -- is to blend empirical research with conceptual discussion of networks under three main headings: Resource Flows, Mutual Expectations, and Information Flows.

The contributors come from varying backgrounds: organization studies, economics, business history, marketing, and information systems. Together they are concerned with when, why, and how firms engage in inter-organizational networking, rather than relying on arms-length market relations or in-house procurement.

Revue de presse

The book is admitted to be more research orientated than practice orientated. Nevertheless, the papers do provide important insights that will reward practical managers. (Cooper H. Langford, Technology Analysis & Strategic Management, Vol. 13, No.1, 2001)

The prominence given to analysis of the role of trust is most appropriate and the effort made to enrich the literature of this subject with a deconstruction of the concept is quite valuable. (Cooper H. Langford, Technology Analysis & Strategic Management, Vol. 13, No.1, 2001)

it provides a comprehensive review of the research directions that have influenced attitutes toward the phenomena of inter-organizational network formation among firms (Cooper H. Langford, Technology Analysis & Strategic Management, Vol. 13, No.1, 2001)

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. (Julie T. Elworth, 173/ASQ, March 00.)
