Network Governance Between Individual and Collective Goals: Qualitative Evidence from Six Networks

Ingo Winkler

Chemnitz University of Technology

The article presents the results of an explorative study in six interfirm networks. Based on the assumption that the absence of clear objectives is considered as a specific aspect of leadership in networks, the aim of this paper is to identify central types of goal conflicts and how participants deal with such conflicts in interfirm collaboration. Different formal and informal mechanisms of network governance will be illustrated to address different types of conflicts. The findings will be related to leadership in interfirm networks. Both formal as well as informal governance mechanisms are understood as specific leadership mechanisms corresponding to the three leadership media within collaborations — structures, processes, and network participants - as they serve to influence and shape the agenda of an interfirm network.

Key Words: goal conflicts • governance mechanisms • interorganizational collaboration • leadership
