Abstract: As firms face the pressure of global competition and increase their participation in a global economy, developing an in-depth understanding of supply chain networking issues becomes increasingly important. This study synthesises the findings in the literature with a multiple-case research design and identifies several potential opportunities, motivations as well as dilemmas that exist in a global strategic network. It proposes a framework to explore several factors that could contribute to the sustainability of a knowledge sharing network in global supply chains. These factors include: management fit, market-related fit, resource fit, shared identity, relational capital, and flexibility.

Keywords: knowledge sharing; inter-organisational learning; knowledge networks; supply chain management; SCM; global supply chains; strategic networks; management fit; market-related fit; resource fit; shared identity; relational capital; flexibility; organisational learning.
