Abstract:

Researchers have found that inter-firm collaboration, that is, co-operative business networks, can provide a competitive advantage that would not be possible independently for small sized firms. Work has been done by some governments, for example, Danish, Norwegian, New Zealand, American and Japanese, in the area of policy and practice of business networks because they have realised the importance of business networking and have encouraged collaboration of small firms by assisting in the facilitation of networks. The Australian government established a Business Network Program which ran for fo

Abstract:

The constellation of the customer base has implications for the company’s future survivability. Within the business-to-business markets, the customer relationships are characterized by technical and organizational interfaces. Understanding the customer relationships and using customer accounting can provide information about how to prioritize among the customers in order to improve short-term and long-term profitability. The framework by Lind and Strömsten (2006) where different customer accounting techniques are related to a typology over customer relationships is evaluated and further elabo

Abstract:

Attractiveness matters in business markets, because firms do not dedicate resources equally to all partners. Instead they invest more resources in partners with higher relational attractiveness. Firms need to become attractive in order to gain access to more resources or to be able to work with more skilled or reputable partners. This dissertation studies the construct of relational attractiveness of the customer (RAC), defined as the attractiveness of a business relationship with a particular customer in the eyes of the supplier.

Avhandlingen fokuserer på tre sentrale tema knyttet til leverandørhåndtering i bedriftsnettverk. Det første temaet er involvering av leverandører i innovasjonsprosesser. Innovasjon oppstår i økende grad i skjæringspunktet mellom bedrifter, og relasjoner til leverandører har vist seg å være spesielt viktige. Det andre temaet er knyttet til hvordan leverandører kan bidra til kompetanseutvikling hos en kjøpende bedrift. Utnyttelse av leverandørens ressurser på mest hensiktsmessig måte betyr at innsikt i leverandørens kontekst er viktig. Dette blir håndtert i det tredje temaet som tar for seg nett

Business networks are a network of companies, working together to achieve certain objectives. These objectives can be both strategical and operational and are used by business networks based on their role in the market. These form of business helps small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) to become more competitive and innovative. In Italy, due to the financial crisis, many business networks were formed to help small and medium-sized firms to be able to compete in the European and, more broadly, in the International market.

The purpose of this project is to build a working intranet containing core applications that create the framework for a small business intranet. Small businesses may benefit from an intranet because of its ability to effectively streamline the processes for retrieving and distributing information.

Small businesses are regarded by policy makers and academics alike as being significant sources of wealth creation, employment generation and innovation. Yet, few small businesses grow. One possible way of explaining why so many businesses do not succeed is through the notion of 'barriers'. Social networks can mitigate those barriers. Previous studies on networks typically identify and predict what kinds of networks affect firm success, rather than attempt to explain how or why this is the case.
