Abstract

The modern world is characterized by many qualitative changes with far-reaching consequences for social and economic reality. Under the new economic conditions, it is impossible to analyze the existence of particular organizations separately from their environments, and most of all, the relations that link them with other important players in the business market. It means that one of the main challenges of management in the twenty-first century is the creation of mutual inter-organizational dependencies, most often in the form of network structures.

Fußnoten
1
Transaction costs are defined as “the comparative costs of planning, adaptation and supervision over the fulfillment of various management structures” (Williamson 1998: 15). The main difficulty in the theory of transaction costs is a summary of all types of such costs. This is especially important for companies operating in a volatile and unpredictable environment, because they are particularly high in such circumstances (Romanowska 2009: 249).
 
2
Authors have introduced the concept of an orchestrator instead of conductor, but its tasks and functions are the same.
 
3
Lazzarini (2007) introduces the term “constellation” instead of alliance network.
