The Strategy of Technology Licensing in Network Industries

The growing complexity that characterises the current economic situation has caused the role of relationships in business management to rise in importance. In this study, there will be a focus on the rapports that an enterprise establishes within its environment, as related to the intersystem dependencies that exist, making specific reference to the network industries. Given that the relationship between client and consumer may take on particular importance, if it managed well it can aid the creation of a network of consumers who are capable of self-organisation. There has been some analysis of the tools available to government organisations that support their establishment. There has been need to investigate more thoroughly the controllable variables of business set-up between appropriation/integration versus compatibility/licensing. As far as empirical evidence demonstrates, there is a greater propensity in licensing network industries in respect to economic sectors in which network externality has not appeared.
