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.
