Strategic factors of network organisations and their influence on inter-organisational learning

“…Analysing the companies surveyed in this study and their relationship with external factors, we highlight the governance (Roehrich et al, 2020;Sudolska and Lis, 2014) and spatial proximity (Presutti et al, 2019).
