Abstract

This article contributes to the further understanding of the different stages in the development of inter-firm networks. It makes use of a longitudinal case study of a network whose members share a collective trade-mark, and proposes an inductive analytical grid of the development of inter-firm networks. The first part consists in the identification of five distinct sub-stages which reveal two stages of the evolution of a network demonstrated by Larson (1992). The second part is linked with the characterisation of these sub-stages by presenting six descriptive elements and five analytical elements, in the context of the inductive analytical grid.
