Abstract
There are many types of interfirm networks, like cooperatives, franchise and retail chains, joint ventures, strategic alliances, and financial networks. This raises the issue of the relative efficiency of management and governance of a network. The current book addresses theoretical and empirical perspectives on the management and governance of franchising networks, cooperatives, and strategic alliances.
