Networks and network strategies: New theorization based upon a systematic literature review
Streszczenie
PURPOSE: This paper aims to introduce a general all-embracing taxonomy of
networks and its relevant strategies to facilitate the teaching and learning of the
strategic concepts of networks in strategic management. METHODOLOGY: To fulfill
its intention, the paper has adopted a systematic literature review (SLR), since the
introduced taxonomy and its corresponding strategies should be a compendious
reflection and summary of the current literature of the studies on strategic networks.
RESULTS: The paper unfolded seven potential configurations of the networks and
then proceeded with the proposition of their relevant strategies with regard to the
networks’ relationships and forms. These networks were named as Reciprocally
Interdependent Networks, Sequentially Interdependent Networks, Partnering
Networks, Complementary (Overlapping) Networks, Supporting (Logistic) Networks,
Distributing Networks, and Co-Innovation Knowledge-Sharing Networks. Their
corresponding network strategies were identified as Multi-Level Promotion Strategy,
Just-In-Time Strategy, Network Partnership Strategy, Compensatory Strategy,
Network Logistic Strategy, Distributing Network Strategy, and Network R&D Strategy,
respectively. IMPLICATIONS FOR THEORY AND PRACTICE: Systematics or a system of
classification is a fundamental necessity in any field of knowledge, benefiting both
academia and learners. Accordingly, this paper provides a comprehensive but concise
means of classifying networks and their strategies to overcome the paucity still
existing in the literature. These efforts invite future research and conversation about
networks and network strategies, proposing a guiding framework for the debate.
ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: Lack of consensus about theories and conceptualizations
in strategic network studies became an inspiration for this research, which allowed
for the clarification of the mentioned existing paucity.
