Abstract

Collaborative Networked Organisations (CNOs) are increasingly recognised for their ability to harness cooperation and complementary competencies, outperforming individual efforts in pursuing business opportunities. However, the criticality of selecting the right long-term partner for a CNO has been understated, especially considering the evolving landscape of sustainability perceptions. This research addresses the issue of time inconsistency within the context of sustainable CNO partner selection by employing the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchical Process with the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution. Time inconsistency refers to a situation where preferences or decisions change over different points in time, leading to inconsistencies in choices or actions. Specifically, the study focuses on a Swiss Manufacturing CNO, examining how the evaluation of potential partners' environmental criteria changes over time. The findings reveal the presence of time inconsistency in environmental criterion evaluation between two time periods. This inconsistency stems from the evolving perception of environmental conditions and the increasing social and governmental pressures surrounding environmental standards. As a consequence, improper partner choices in CNOs can be made, potentially undermining the collaborative's overall sustainability goals. The study sheds light on the importance of considering dynamic sustainability factors in partner selection for CNOs, emphasising the need for a more comprehensive and adaptive approach to secure fruitful and lasting collaborations.

纵向协作网络组织在选择可持续合作伙伴时的时间不一致性
网络化协作组织(CNOs)因其利用合作和互补能力,在寻求商业机会方面胜过个人努力的能力而日益得到认可。然而,为协作网络组织选择合适的长期合作伙伴的重要性一直被低估,特别是考虑到可持续发展观念的不断变化。本研究通过采用模糊分析层次过程和与理想解决方案相似度排序技术,解决了可持续发展 CNO 合作伙伴选择中的时间不一致性问题。时间不一致性是指偏好或决策在不同时间点发生变化,从而导致选择或行动不一致的情况。具体而言,本研究以一家瑞士制造企业的 CNO 为研究对象,考察其对潜在合作伙伴环境标准的评估如何随时间发生变化。研究结果表明,在两个时间段内,环境标准评估存在时间上的不一致性。这种不一致性源于对环境条件不断变化的认识,以及围绕环境标准不断增加的社会和政府压力。因此,在 CNO 中可能会做出不当的合作伙伴选择,从而有可能破坏合作方的整体可持续发展目标。本研究揭示了在选择 CNO 合作伙伴时考虑动态可持续发展因素的重要性,强调需要采用更全面和适应性更强的方法,以确保合作富有成效且持久。
