Inter-organizational relations (IOR), the study of Strategic
Alliances, Joint Ventures, Partnerships, Networks and other forms
of relationship between organizations, is a field of study that has
burgeoned over the last four decades, but is fragemented, drawing
contributions from a wide variety of disciplines, theoretical
bases, and sectoral interests. The Oxford Handbook of
Inter-Organizational Relations provides a structured overview of
the field. With contributions from leading international experts on
their particular areas of expertise, it is an authoritative
introduction to its research findings.
The material is organized in three main sections.
The first relates to research that focuses on particular
manifestations of IORs such as industry, supply, policy and project
networks, public and voluntary sector partnerships, strategic
alliances, and so on.
The second section relates to research that stems from distinct
disciplinary or theoretical bases, including social networks,
evolutionary theory, transaction cost economics, management
process, psychology, critical theory political theory, economic
geography, and the legal perspective.
The third section focuses on key topics in contemporary IOR topics
- or those that will become so in the future. These include, trust,
power, development interventions, social capital, learning and
knowledge, dynamics and change, and evaluation.
