Abstract
This paper deals with business network dynamics. The main aim of the paper is to shed light on potential relational paths in the reconfiguration of the firms’ business network. To this aim two main emerging paths are proposed: integration and substitution. Empirically, the paper presents the data collected during a ten-year longitudinal case study research of four Italian textile producers. The various implications for business networks stemming from the two relational paths are described and discussed.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
