Abstract

Research in collaborative networks has increased due to the opportunities associated with collaboration across the networked partners. This paper focuses on the development of an approach to generally model the network, considering a set of five objects: networks, enterprises, objectives, strategies and key performance indicators (KPI). The model relates the objectives and strategies of the networked partners through KPIs defined to measure the objectives. The strategies influence, on improving the objectives, is modelled through computing the increase of the KPIs when a certain strategy is activated in an enterprise of the network. The model proposed allows researchers to formally identify the aligned strategies, in order to improve the enterprises’ objectives and, consequently, the network performance.
