Towards a theory for building micro-businesses interactions: Extending the scientific method to consider their preferences and aims

This theoretical paper extends the traditional scientific approach for conducting research on micro-businesses interactions. Such extension considers the variety of preferences and aims, expressed by micro-businesses when building their interactions. Hence, this paper’s purpose is to systematically build knowledge on how to increase the quality of interactions among independent-minded micro-businesses. The paper focuses on the ‘language for interactions’ as a scientific procedure to foster business interactions able to build and manage joint resources. Accordingly, we propose the ‘language for interactions’ as a set of instructions for creating, maintaining and strengthening such businesses interactions. Comparison of the language for interactions is made with the scientific method, to recognize if knowledge may be acquired through such set of instructions.
