This paper introduces the concept of netchain analysis. A netchain
is a set of networks comprised of horizontal ties between firms within
a particular industry or group, which are sequentially arranged based
on vertical ties between firms in different layers. Netchain analysis
interprets supply chain and network perspectives on inter-organisational
collaboration with particular emphasis on the value creating and
coordination mechanism sources. We posit that sources of value and
coordination mechanisms correspond to particular and distinct types
of interdependencies: pooled, sequential, and reciprocal. It is further
argued that the recognition and accounting of these simultaneous
interdependencies is crucial for a more advanced understanding of
complex inter-organisational relations. The paper concludes with
an analysis of a set of netchain configuration examples, including
buyer-supplier relationships, information technology induced interorganization
collaborations, and the introduction of the "macrohierarchy" organization
structure.
