Le management stratégique des réseaux inter-organisationnels à l'épreuve des comportements opportunistes : élaboration d'un cadre d'analyse

Abstract

Many academic works have been devoted to the study of the relations between firms, especially with the improvement of these relations starting with the implementation of cooperative strategies within inter-organisational networks (ION). Mainstream research in organisational theory, and strategic management presents opportunistic behaviour in a negative light and is largely counter-productive for relationships between ION members. Only long-term involvement and total trust in the partners would create value. The article questions this traditional view by indicating that a more ⪡ moderate ⪢ opportunism could at last have an unsuspected positive impact on the functioning of ION.
