Abstract

The corporate environment of organizations in the 21st century are expected to be very demanding, flexible, and competition driven as discussed by Drucker (2001). The organizations will have a very hard time sustaining their competitive advantages under these conditions. Therefore, individual organizations must collaborate with other organizations for survival and sustainable success (Wilkinson, Mattsson, & Easton, 2000). This translates itself into network organizations that specialize in certain functions of business of activity. Network organizations are defined as a system established by individual organization with designed roles and responsibilities (Achrol, 1997). Network organizations are established by the need of organizations to interact with each other for the purpose of establishing links and improving performance and business processes of individual organizations.
