Creating wealth through working with others: Interorganizational relationships
报告了耐克全球供应链和英特尔计算机行业联盟的成功案例,指出组织间关系虽流行但多数失败,并分析了其经济动机如规模经济、资源获取和信息共享。
The article reports that the success stories of the global supply network of Nike and the computer industry alliances of Intel have encouraged companies to engage in interorganizational relationships (IRs). Although a good number of IRs gain popularity, a majority of the deals also fail. IRs allow firms to minimize the aggregate of production costs. The economic rationales for IRs include their ability to obtain resources or provide strategic advantage through competition. Some advantages experienced in IRs include economies of scale, access to resources, and information sharing.
