From network governance to metagovernance

Ralf Müller

Chapter 30 in Research Handbook on the Governance of Projects, 2023, pp 366-378 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Inter-organizational networks have become the de facto organization structure for the delivery of large projects. This chapter describes a three-layered framework for the governance of these networks, from the investor, via intermediate governance levels, to the individual network, for the delivery of a project. At its lowest level, the framework describes the governance of an inter-organizational network for the delivery of a project (i.e., network governance). Then it describes this network as one in a network of various networks each executing organization is involved. This network of networks requires governance (i.e., governance of networks). These two governance layers rest on a set of ground rules imposed by the investor or government (i.e., metagovernance). The chapter describes the three-layered framework and elements, their interaction, and their impact on project performance. It ends with a theory on the framework’s functioning.
