Rise of strategic nets--New modes of value creation (original) (raw)

Strategic business nets—their type and management

Journal of Business Research, 2005

This conceptual paper focuses on the management challenges of different types of strategic business nets. First, we propose a value-system continuum that forms the basis for classifying different types of strategic nets. Second, a classification of these nets is suggested and discussed. Finally, the core managerial questions and capabilities required in net management are illustrated. A discussion of the theoretical and managerial implications, and of future research needs, concludes the paper.

Managing Strategic Nets: A Capability Perspective

Marketing Theory, 2003

Abstract This conceptual article focuses on the management of strategic business networks. Networks are seen to offer firms collective benefits beyond those of a single firm or market transaction.

Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2014

This paper we present an approach pattern of the international markets, relating to complex nets in which these can be integrated and to strategies able to ensure their viability and success in different confrontations in such a complex world. Solutions for a market to increase in intensive and extensive plan are given strategic alternatives enfolding on each separate category, consists three vectors: market-network-strategy. We hope that this model might find concrete solutions for companies developing their activity as part of present markets and networks to be able to find ways to evaluate from one net to another, shaping in time dynamic, open and flexible markets.

Challenges of Managing a Network Business

ebrc.fi

This study aims at identifying and analysing the key challenges in managing a network business. The starting point of the paper is the alleged need for new kinds of theoretical frameworks which take into account value creation situations businesses face today. Hence, this paper introduces the value co-production framework as an alternative perspective to the existing approaches built in the industrial era (i.e., value chain thinking). This framework elevates knowledge and relationships in the locus of business and argues for reconfiguration of roles, actions, and interactions among the networked actors.

Developing new business models: Logic of network value or cross-industry approach

2021

Digital transition in the maritime industry creates new organizational models and affects the relationship between actors. New relationships require new business models (BMs). In addition, due to the paradigm of green shifts towards a zero-emission future of maritime shipping in 2050, stricter regulations require new solutions, and “business as usual” is not actual anymore. Thus, the study aims to investigate key drivers for creating new BMs and factors for their effective implementation by companies. The results of the study point to the main reasons for creating BMs. It was revealed that there are several external and internal prerequisites. Moreover, it was proved that considering the current tendency of the interfaces in relationships with different industries, it is important to talk about the development of BMs not only from a supply chain perspective. Moreover, it should be considered from the point of view of network value. Hence, the study highlights the need for a further investigation that aims to design new solutions, implement, test, and observe the effect of new BMs, considering collaborative ties between interested parties.
