Abstract

This paper addresses the phenomenon of global operations networks and how they change

over time. The paper is based on the cases of three Danish companies and their global

operations networks. It finds a number of common patterns highlighting some

organisational effects and managerial challenges the companies face regarding rapid

changes in their networks configurations and capabilities. The paper details the variables

determining these changes and suggests how the on-going interplay between the focal

organisation, its network partners, and their various contextual conditions can be

approached.
