“…In the business sector these dyadic partnerships have been developing into more complex patterns (Choi and Wu 2009). Also, collaboration between partners is increasingly being investigated from a network perspective (Durugbo 2016). This may provide opportunities, particularly because there have been initiatives in setting up fourth party logistics networks in the humanitarian sector as well (Abidi, de Leeuw, and Klumpp 2015).…”

Cross-Sector humanitarian-business partnerships in managing humanitarian logistics comprise a key discussion topic in literature, yet empirical validations of these partnerships are lacking to date. This paper aims to develop a typological framework for humanitarian-business partnerships in managing humanitarian logistics and to empirically verify this typology with a data-set using content analysis. The results show that the amounts of partnerships developed between the business sector and the humanitarian sector in managing humanitarian logistics is still limited and these partnerships are not widely publicised. The research furthermore shows that financial contributions comprise the most common type of resource delivered by the business sector when it comes to partnerships with the humanitarian sector focused on managing humanitarian logistics. It is also interesting to note that the majority of partnerships in our sample are dyadic in nature, managed by a single humanitarian organisation and a single business corporation. Furthermore, we find that most of the partnerships target support for natural disaster emergency relief operations and mainly focus on disaster response.

“…Nowadays, CNs are being applied to a great variety of domains, moving from academic research to manufacturing and other industrial applications [32][33][34]. These implementations are supported by a variety of collaboration forms, which range from "supply chains" to emerging dynamic structures in industry, science, and services.…”

Collaborative Networks: A Pillar of Digital Transformation

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The notion of digital transformation encompasses the adoption and integration of a variety of new information and communication technologies for the development of more efficient, flexible, agile, and sustainable solutions for industrial systems. Besides technology, this process also involves new organizational forms and leads to new business models. As such, this work addresses the contribution of collaborative networks to such a transformation. An analysis of the collaborative aspects required in the various dimensions of the 4th industrial revolution is conducted based on a literature survey and experiences gained from several research projects. A mapping between the identified collaboration needs and research results that can be adopted from the collaborative networks area is presented. Furthermore, several new research challenges are identified and briefly characterized.

“…Literature on collaborative networks has extensively pointed out several benefits of collaboration and discussed the main requirements that should be satisfied in order to promote the success and sustainability of the networks [22]. Several studies [23,24] have suggested that sharing goals among members, having set some common infrastructures, having reached a good level of mutual trust, and having agreed (totally or in part) on some business practices and values are mandatory requirements to achieve a sustainable network.…”

Abstract:The assessment of value systems alignment can play an important role in the formation and evolution of collaborative networks, contributing to reduce potential risks of collaboration. For this purpose, an assessment tool is proposed as part of a collaborative networks information system, supporting both the formation and evolution of long-term strategic alliances and goal-oriented networks. An implementation approach for value system alignment analysis is described, which is intended to assist managers in virtual and networked organizations management. The implementation of the assessment and analysis methods is supported by a set of software services integrated in the information system that supports the management of the networked organizations. A case study in the solar energy sector was conducted, and the data collected through this study allow us to confirm the practical applicability of the proposed methods and the software services.
