Abstract

Increasingly, small and medium enterprise firms (SMEs) in emerging economies are partnering with large multinational firms within a ‘service value network (SVN)’. Moreover, these firms are short of resources such as human capital, financial capital and know-how, which are essential for innovation, development of new technologies and maintaining sustainable competitive advantage. This chapter draws on existing constructs on collaborative organisational infrastructure (COI), collaborative architecture management (CAM) and information technology infrastructure flexibility (ITIF) from extant literature to demonstrate the importance of governance, leadership, information and communication technologies (ICT) infrastructure and business IT infrastructure flexibility in achieving effective collaborative entrepreneurial alertness (CEA). In particular, this chapter theoretically postulates the flow-on effects of partnering in an SVN fostering entrepreneurial alertness (EA) capability on individual SME firms’ capability.
