Szervezetközi együttműködések változtatási mintázatai = Changing patterns of inter-organisational relationships

Abstract

Present study investigates the changes in the B2B behaviour of organisations from the point of view interaction. The paper addresses the question how the embedded patterns in the transformation of relationship behaviour affect B2B relationship efficiency. In this paper the embedded patterns in the transformation of relationship behaviour are described from the point of view of dynamic capabilities. We assumed that the dynamic relationship capabilities meant not only opportunities, but also bottleneck for a relationship. In order to understand the nature of dynamic relationship capabilities we used the open system view of firms. We interpreted the architecture of dynamic relationship capabilities at five levels: at the level of strategic flexibility; at the level of process flexibility; at the level of coordination flexibility; at the level of resource flexibility; and at the level of operation flexibility. On the other hand, in order to explain the functioning of dynamic relationship capability we used a process oriented capability pattern defined by Pavlou and El Savy to describe the construction of dynamic relationship capabilities at the given architecture level.
