The Value Creation, Capture & Sharing in Organizational Networks Conference - October 19 and 20, 2023

Societies and organizations are increasingly confronted with multifaceted and ill-defined problems that are beyond the ability of a single organization to tackle. Therefore, many organizations (for-profit firms, public and non-profit organizations alike) cooperate in networks to pool resources and work together to create, capture, and share collective value.

Even though such organizational networks are often heralded as the solution to large and complex (global) problems, they bring many challenges of their own. Because the collective value creation only partially overlaps with the individual value creation of the participating organizations, conflicts of interest often arise. Other problems pertain to exclusion, legitimacy, problems of collective action, loss of organizational autonomy, and high transaction and coordination costs. Many organizational networks lack (clear) decision structures, and authority, and the mandates of these networks are often poorly understood by the actors involved. As a result, many organizational networks are dissolved or go dormant without reaching their desired goals or generating externalities. The aim of this conference is to better understand how organizational networks can overcome these challenges to create, capture, and share value and generate impact.
