Abstract
As described in the previous chapter, the ability to acquire and combine various resources can be considered a resource in itself (Alvarez/Busenitz, 2001, pp. 767 – 769, 772). In order to utilize the external resource base, certain capabilities and activities are a prerequisite. This study proposes that above all, activities geared towards interaction with network partners, i.e., network activities as well as an internal exchange of information need to be carried out. Moreover, a flexible organizational culture, i.e., adhocracy enhances these network activities. The following chapters introduce these three resources, namely, network activities, internal communication, and adhocracy.
