Abstract

Networks play an important role in entrepreneurship and represent a significant factor in economic development. Despite the rapid development of network theories, scientific literature does not provide a systematized strategic approach to the concept of networking among small and medium sized enterprises. Therefore, the article explains in detail the concept of networks and networking activities with special emphasis on long-term forms of network relationships. It provides an overview of the most common market forms of strategic network relationships among small and medium-sized firms, and describes the most important advantages and disadvantages of these kinds of business relationships. The article unfolds a valuable contribution to scholars in early stage of their research interested in the area of interorganizational linking and networking.
