摘要

This article pictures a fascinating and sometimes confusing world in which different schools of thought, several methodological approaches, and distinct foci in terms of industrial background, modes of cooperation, and international patterns lay out the complexity against which one has to understand interorganizational networks and alliances. Given the multifaceted character of this topic, we encourage researchers to incorporate major elements of a multidimensional orientation in their future research.
