目的-协作网络是信息和通信技术领域的创新特别促成的组织形式。要深入了解CN，需要有理论基础。本文的目的是借助现有的和众所周知的组织理论来解释目标导向和机会导向的CN。对网络研究中经常提到的概念和理论进行了详细的概述，然后详细讨论了旨在解释CN的理论方法的结构化选择。最后，本文从十个方面对CN的存在和有效性进行了分析。设计/方法/途径--本文采用的方法是基于文献综述和对CN生命周期中沿着研究的组织理论的影响分析。结果--分析的结果表明，没有一种研究的理论能够完全描述CN的复杂现象，并明确所有的知识定义。
Purpose – Collaborative networks (CN) are organizational forms that are especially enabled by innovations in the area of information and communication technologies. For an in‐depth understanding of CN a theoretical foundation is required. The purpose of this paper is to explain goal‐oriented and opportunity‐based CN with the help of existing and well‐known organization theories. A detailed overview about frequently mentioned concepts and theories in network studies is given and then a structured selection of theoretical approaches that are aiming to explain CN is discussed in detail. Finally, ten aspects for the existence and efficiency of CN are derived.Design/methodology/approach – The approach taken in this work is based on a literature review and an impact analysis of the investigated organization theories along the life cycle of CN.Findings – The result of the analysis shows that none of the investigated theories is able to describe the complex phenomenon of CN entirely and to clear all knowledge def...
