Zusammenfassung
Das Netzwerk ist zu einem Schlüsselkonzept der wirtschaftlichen Zusammenarbeit zwischen Unternehmen geworden. In den letzten drei Jahrzehnten haben Unternehmen infolge vertikaler Desintegration (Scott 1988), flexibler Spezialisierung (Storper und Christopherson 1987; Piore und Sabel 1984) und erhöhten Innovationsdrucks zunehmend Kooperationsbeziehungen mit anderen Unternehmen aufgebaut, um Ressourcen außerhalb des eigenen Unternehmens zu erschließen und somit die eigene Wettbewerbsfähigkeit zu sichern oder zu steigern. So entstanden Formen des wirtschaftlichen Austauschs, die weder durch Preiswettbewerb noch durch Unternehmenshierarchien koordiniert werden. Diese Formen der zwischenbetrieblichen Zusammenarbeit werden allgemein unter dem Begriff des Unternehmensnetzwerks zusammengefasst, der seit den 1980er Jahren zunehmend in den Fokus der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion geriet (Galaskiewicz 1985). Die wiederholte und dauerhafte Zusammenarbeit von Unternehmen entzieht sich dem Verständnis des am Markt herrschenden Preiswettbewerbs einerseits und der hierarchischen Autorität andererseits (Powell 1991).
