A Process-oriented Approach to Business Networking

چکیده
The goal of this paper is to develop a model which helps companies in the “networked economy” to design and manage its cross-company business processes (Business Networking).

We elaborate an approach which combines findings of network theory and business process re-engineering using results of coordination theory. To reduce complexity, we split the networking problem into five coordination areas. We find that describing business networks with the aid of coordination areas allows a networked enterprise to consistently orient itself towards the processes of its partners, in particular those of its customers and suppliers.
