Decision making in inter-organisational relationships: implications from systems thinking
by Hannu Karkkainen, Jukka Hallikas
International Journal of Technology Management (IJTM), Vol. 33, No. 2/3, 2006

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explore and increase the understanding of the dynamics of decision making in inter-organisational networks. There is relatively little research that employs holistic and systemic approaches for enhancing the understanding of the topic. The systemic nature of network-related decisions is illustrated by empirical case examples. We study and illustrate what systems thinking pragmatically means in the context of networks and how it affects the inter-organisational networks and the network-related decision making in the context of business environment, risks, and learning. We also discuss the related academic and managerial implications to decision making in networks.
