īuild ever larger temples is a global trend, which highlights countries with Brazil and the United States. In fact, one of the main findings and recommendation of the THINKcreative project points to the urgent need to invest time and effort into creating a sound theoretical foundation, where appropriate definitions shall be established for the general area of collaborative organisations. However, there is too little systematic knowledge about the structure and the behaviour, of enterprise networks of integrated, multi-dependent nodes. Many definitions can be found in literature treating the network using the social approach or the business approach.
The first difficulty arises from the need to define and agree among Network participants about the meaning of a Business Network. This is due to the complexity of several dimensions that the concept of Business Networking implies and to some confusions and lacks arising from the fact that the argument only started to be treated as a managerial and organisational topic a few years ago. Some studies estimate that up to 60% of the alliances fail to meet their initial objectives, in a clear indication that there is still a lot of work to be done regarding the creation and management of these networks. Despite the fact that Business Networking and strategic cooperation networks are emerging as a valuable organisational instrument that can create considerable competitive advantage for small firms, unfortunately, its practical implementation is very complicated.
