Abstract
This paper reviews relevant aspects of the formation and dissolution of interorganizational networks (ION) aiming at define requirements for systems managing knowledge networks in such environments. Firstly, the concept of networking and virtual organizing is reviewed. Then a major work on formation of ION is analysed and some conclusions are drawn regarding the design of ION. Finally, the requirements for knowledge management systems in the formation and dissolution of ION are discussed.
