Making interorganisational relationships work

M@n@gement, 8:4, Pitsis, Josserand, Clegg and Kornberger

M@n@gement has a terrific series of article in their special edition: Making Interorganizational Relationships Work. Of particular note is an article by Knoppen and Cristeaanse entitled A Transformational Lens on Supply Chain Partnerships in which they assert that “The transformational lens contributes by facilitating a more complete picture of partnerships than would be achieved by considering each of its constituent bodies of literature in isolation, and sheds new light on the temporal aspect of partnerships.” The paper discusses the overlap between transactional cost analysis, organisational design and network literature in analysing supply chain partnerships.
