Abstract:
This is a theoretical paper that examines the interplay between individual and
collective capabilities and competencies and value transactions in collaborative
environments. The theory behind value creation is examined and two types of
value are identified, internal value (shareholder value) and external value
(value proposition). The literature on collaborative enterprises/network is also
examined with particular emphasis on supply chains, extended/virtual enterprises
and clusters as representatives of different forms and maturities of
collaboration. The interplay of value transactions and competencies and
capabilities are examined and discussed in detail. Finally, a model is presented
which consists of value transactions and a table that compares the
characteristics of different types of collaborative enterprises/networks. It is
proposed that this model presents a platform for further research to develop an
in-depth understanding into how value may be created and managed in
collaborative enterprises/networks.
