Abstract: Abstract This chapter on network coordination concludes the reflections on the three decision layers. Firstly, it addresses the organisational structure as a core connection between network configuration and coordination. Secondly, further decision dimensions are addressed using four management frameworks. These frameworks support operation managers when putting network coordination into practice. The frameworks are: Centralisation and Standardisation, Resource Allocation and Sharing, Incentive System, and Information and Knowledge Sharing. To illustrate the application of these frameworks, we present the real life examples of the Mechanical Engineering Network and the Food Network.
