Corporate Transformation to the Network Organization: The Case of the R&D Externalization Process
Abstract
In this paper the transformation of the vertically integrated firm is analyzed on the example of the externalization process. This process allows building network structures by utilizing units placed outside the corporate boundaries, supporting, therefore, the firm’s functions. Derived from the analysis the general managerial decision making tree is suggested. The longitudinal case study methodology is selected for the empirical investigation.
