Uwarunkowania skutecznej współpracy międzyorganizacyjnej

Today's economy is extremely networked. We are able to observe the growing popularity of strategic networking. Interorganizational networks are perceived as a fast channel to the sustainable competitive advantage. Simultaneously, in many cases strategic partners decide to break ties before the joint goals are reached and networks fall apart. Therefore, in the field of strategic management the further research on network performance is relevant and needed. One of the most important feature of networks is internal coordination (shaped by market, hierarchic and social mechanisms) which is perceived as one of the primordial determinants of the durable and successful networking. The literature provides us a lot of deep, diversified and also inconsistent analysis on both network success and network failure. However, one of the newest research direction related to the networking is proximity concept. Proximity used to be perceived as the most important factor which shapes the network performance in the field of economic geography.
