Abstract

As industries and firms globalize, the issue of organizing wide spread economic activity assumes added importance. One approach has been to rely on networks and alliances, and this has provoked a significant amount of academic interest in the topic. In this chapter, I will put forth the case for further exploration of networked organizations (Ring 1996)1 involving professional services, arguing that they have been underrepresented in academic research, that the professions are a growing part of the global economy and that by exploring the conditions under which professional services providers (PSPs)2 are likely to form networked organizations we can expand our understanding of the roles that various kinds of networked organizations play in governing global economic exchanges.
