Modern information infrastructure systems have strong effects on world wide operating enterprises, simplifying the access to global markets on the one hand and leading to a harder competition between enterprises offering similar products or services on the other. Additionally, the society of today asks for stronger customized products which cannot be produced economically with conventional production methods. In this context the early outmaking of upcoming needs of the society and their quick satisfaction with tailor-made products and services are future key factors to business success. Especially for small and medium enterprises the collaboration with partners possessing complementary competencies in so-called Complementary Networks offers a unique method for reaching this objective. The combination of complementary products and services adds to the value appreciated by the customer and opens new business fields and/or improves the market positions for the enterprises. This paper gives a brief description of the individual phases for the establishment and operation of these networks with practical examples showing the enormous potentials of Complementary Networks. |
