Chapter Chapter 14 in Accelerating Global Supply Chains with IT-Innovation, 2011, pp 255-269 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Innovation in the eCustoms domain happens in complex constellations of heterogeneous stakeholders. Understanding and shaping the dynamics of these stakeholder constellations is critical for the success in terms of achieving collective action and precarious in terms of power struggles among stakeholders. This chapter aims at sensitizing the reader to the crucial role of economic, political and indeed social networks in shaping the process and outcome of ongoing innovation in the eCustoms area. It looks at preconditions of collective action or “how to make elephants or giants dance together” and posits that networking permeates all areas of eCustoms innovation.
