Abstract
In recent years the formation rate of inter-firm collaborations has dramatically increased. Despite the growing importance of inter-firm relationships, the success rate remains low. The main problem is that companies do not employ systems or frameworks to measure or manage collaborations holistically. Thus, we present in this chapter a novel performance measurement system for interorganisational collaborations of small and medium-sized enterprises.
