Abstract: Abstract Networked organization structures have become common practice for cornpanies to strengthen their competitive position. Examples of such networks include temporary project-based cooperations (e.g. in product design or system development projects), marketing organizations and industrial clusters sharing expensive resources. Such networks can take form of supply chains (SC) integrating enterprises based on their contribution to the value chain. SC are typically governed by common economical and value-creation objectives and proactively form cooperations for a given demand. These cooperations are geographically distributed, respond quickly and are flexible to market demands. The life cycle of SC, including a description of needs and services of the cycle phases, is presented in Figure 4.1 and Table 4.1.
