Guest Editors: Rob Dekkers, Hermann Khnle
Some thoughts on interdisciplinarity in collaborative networks' research and manufacturing sciences
Hermann Kühnle, Rob DekkersScientific progress in a field is mostly discussed within disciplines. Far less attention is paid to outside or between disciplines' work. To speed up research progresses for…
The inter‐disciplinary modelling of supply chains in the context of collaborative multi‐structural cyber‐physical networks
Dmitry Ivanov, Boris SokolovOn modern markets, supply chains (SC) shape the competition landscape. At the same time, considerable research advancements have been recently achieved in the area of…
Entropy assessment of supply chain disruption
Olatunde Amoo Durowoju, Hing Kai Chan, Xiaojun WangManufacturing organizations and networks are heavily dependent on the flow of information within and across organization boundaries. A disruption in information flow might…
A model to determine complexity in supply networks
Markus Gerschberger, Corinna Engelhardt‐Nowitzki, Sebastian Kummer, Franz StaberhoferThe purpose of this paper is to further advance an existing supplier evaluation model for the purpose of identifying those supplier relations which predominantly threaten or…
Alignment prediction in collaborative networks
Roberto da Piedade Francisco, Américo Azevedo, António AlmeidaThe purpose of this paper is to study the alignment measurement in collaborative networks, using the fit concept and predictive performance measurement as its main enablers. A…
Habitual domain exploration in inter‐firm networks: A framework for understanding network behaviour
Lei Ma, Yongjiang Shi, Wenwen ZhaoBased on the theory of habitual domain, the purpose of this paper is to explore inter‐firm networks' mechanisms for coping with environmental change and for assisting firms to…
Towards the explanation of goal‐oriented and opportunity‐based networks of organizations
Jens Eschenbächer, Novica ZarvićCollaborative networks (CN) are organizational forms that are especially enabled by innovations in the area of information and communication technologies. For an in‐depth…
Appraising interdisciplinary contributions to theory for collaborative (manufacturing) networks: Still a long way to go?
Rob Dekkers, Hermann KühnleProgress in theory building in the field of collaborative networks in manufacturing is preponderantly seen in contributions from disciplines outside manufacturing science…
Lessons learned from the lifecycle management of collaborative enterprises networks: The case of Swiss Microtech
Naoufel Cheikhrouhou, Michel Pouly, Charles Huber, Jean BeelerResearch on the dynamics of Collaborative Enterprises Networks (CEN) lacks consistency and industrial feedback. The purpose of this paper is to present insights and lessons…
