The book "Interfirm Networks" offers a comprehensive analysis of the organization of interfirm networks, including alliances, cooperatives, franchise, and retail chains. It highlights the significance of these networks in the fields of economics, marketing, strategic management, and organization theory. The authors, Georg Hendrikse, Gérard Cliquet, and Josef Windsperger, contribute to the existing literature on interorganizational governance by presenting new perspectives on topics such as contract design, ownership, development of cooperation, and the role of social capital in franchise networks. Additionally, aspects such as loyalty, reputation, and the performance of cooperatives are addressed. The book also discusses the relationship between formal and relational governance in alliances, as well as the structures of innovation activities and the dynamics of interfirm conflicts.
