Abstract

Zusammenfassung In der Literatur zu Netzwerken wird der Zusammenhang zwischen der Koordination von Organisationen und Ergebnissen auf Netzwerkebene diskutiert. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird gefragt: Welchen Zusammenhang gibt es zwischen der Art der Koordination und dem Innovationserfolg — der Innovativität — von koordinierten Unternehmensnetzwerken? Mit einer hierfür geeigneten Methode — der Qualitative Comparative Analysis — soll herausgefunden werden, welche Kombination verschiedener Koordinationsinstrumente mit hoher Innovativität zusammenhängt. Über einen mehrstufigen Befragungsprozess wurden koordinierte Netzwerke in Deutschland identifiziert und 187 von ihnen untersucht. Es zeigt sich, dass Prozess-Standardisierung eine notwendige Bedingung für hohe Innovativität ist. Das Ergebnis wird diskutiert hinsichtlich der Bedeutung von Prozess-Standardisierung als Mittel der Wissensübertragung, als Governance-Mechanismus und als Indikator für das in Regeln gespeicherte Wissen von Netzwerken.
