This study deals with the management of business networks (see e.g. Ritter et al.2004 Harland and Knight 2001). In particular, this study focuses on a research area thatcombines two general notions. First, a number of organization studies suggest thatorganizational values can be managed to the benefit of the organization (e.g. Kilmann etal. 1986 Wiener 1988 Collins and Porras 1991 O’Reilly and Chatman 1996). Second,a number of relationship and network studies suggest that shared values play asignificant role in developing and maintaining network cooperation (Dwyer et al. 1987 Jarillo 1988 Morgan and Hunt 1994 Wilson 1995 Achrol 1997). By combining thesetwo general notions we can formulate the following argument: organizational values canbe managed in order to develop and maintain network cooperation.
