Abstract

The management of an international research network covers all areas that are well known in cross-border activities in the business field. Handling diversity, making use of economies of scale, dealing with cultural differences, working in multicultural teams, or balancing overall goals and local needs are some of the typical issues. However, international research networks cannot be equated with multinational companies. The networks differ in multiple ways: they have little or no formal and legal structure, less clear goals, and no profit orientation; their members have a greater degree of personal freedom due to a lesser degree of economic dependence (on the network) and the lack of position hierarchies, their members also work in small local units often consisting of only one or two persons and have to divide their attention between this and other activities such as teaching or additional research projects.
