Abstract (De)
This paper discusses IT-enabled collaboration of business units (Business Networking) on the business processlevel. It's goal is to develop a model which helps companies in the networked economy to design and managetheir cross-company business processes. We elaborate an approach which combines findings of network theoryand business process re-engineering using results of coordination theory. To reduce complexity, we split thenetworking problem into five coordination areas. We find that describing business networks with the aid ofcoordination areas allows a networked enterprise to consistently orient itself towards the processes of itspartners, in particular those of its customers and suppliers. The model of the networked enterprise may serve asa framework for the Business Networking discussion on the IT-level.
