“…Firstly, firms are better able to focus on their core competencies leaving fellow collaborators to concentrate on theirs. Therefore, through collaborative complementarity, real synergies can be leveraged (Eschenbächer, Kück, & Weiser, 2001). Secondly, collaboration, especially where forward vertical integration is utilised, can expand market opportunities (Ulbrich, Troitzsch, van den Anker, Plüss, & Huber, 2011).…”

We observe that the nature of trust when viewed in a collaborative context can have varied implications and outcomes. For example, actors who may trust one another in one situation may not display the same level of trust in other situations. These trust variations arise as a result of differences in organisational competencies, the nature of the contract and the level of goodwill the collaboration expects. It is broadly agreed that trust is important in relation to collaborative ventures. In this article, we use the ARCON reference model as a framework to consider endogenous and exogenous aspects of trust important in the establishment, operation and dissolution of collaborative ventures. Some observations are made about the use of the model and some possible shortcomings are noted. Most prior research is focused on the influence of trust on internal operations of a collaborative venture. In this article, we identify the need to also consider trust of the venture by external stakeholders.

“…As outlined before, this paper provides a socio-economic and organizational perspective that is derived from the examined approaches. Yet, in order to provide an overall view regarding CN it is important to address among others also legal issues (Eschenbächer et al, 2001), and to address human related issues, such as training and habituation to collaborative scenarios and theoretic approaches from engineering. This paper is only able to cover a segment and has to be seen in a context with research approaches that cover other areas.…”

AbstractPurpose -Collaborative networks (CN) are organizational forms that are especially enabled by innovations in the area of information and communication technologies. For an in-depth understanding of CN a theoretical foundation is required. The purpose of this paper is to explain goal-oriented and opportunity-based CN with the help of existing and well-known organization theories. A detailed overview about frequently mentioned concepts and theories in network studies is given and then a structured selection of theoretical approaches that are aiming to explain CN is discussed in detail. Finally, ten aspects for the existence and efficiency of CN are derived. Design/methodology/approach -The approach taken in this work is based on a literature review and an impact analysis of the investigated organization theories along the life cycle of CN. Findings -The result of the analysis shows that none of the investigated theories is able to describe the complex phenomenon of CN entirely and to clear all knowledge deficits. Therefore, multiple theories need to be considered as foundation. Originality/value -This research represents a contribution to the theoretical body of knowledge in the field of CN. More specifically, it represents a first initial step towards the explanation of certain aspects of CN by means of existing organization theories.

“…Political, cultural, economic and other environment factors specific to a country influence the adoption of new technologies by firms located in the country. Also, legal institutions should operate efficiently and equitably (Eschenba¨cher et al, 2001). Similarly some industries such as utilities or computing and electronics are more supportive for an e-Marketplace success because of their product fit and industry readiness.…”

The internet offers companies many opportunities to implement new business models, in short called e-Business, and to reinforce their competitiveness in the market. Despite the great interest and demand shown towards e-Business, the number of successful applications is quite few. This study suggests a framework to monitor and appraise the success of a particular e-Business operation, e-Marketplaces. To achieve this, we propose a measure, namely the e-Marketplace success index (e-MSI) to quantify the performance of e-Marketplaces. e-MSI can be effectively employed for benchmarking among digital marketplaces whether they are competing or not. More importantly, the factors shaping e-MSI are also educative -the weaknesses and strengths of e-Marketplaces with respect to key success dimensions come right to the fore. We believe that e-Marketplaces can take advantage of this information to improve their effectiveness and, at the same time, actual and/or potential companies may benefit from a uniform, objective and robust assessment of e-Marketplaces.
