This combination of "pick, plug, play and disperse" means that the fundamental organizing capabilities for a smart business network are: (1) the ability for quick connect and disconnect with an actor; (2) the selection and execution of business processes across the network; and (3) establishing the decision rules and the embedded logic within the business network. The four papers put forward new insights about the concept of smart business networks and also provide empirical evidence about the functioning and outcome of these business networks and its potential impact on networked decision making and decision support systems. ./cache/cord-314498-zwq67aph.txt ./txt/cord-314498-zwq67aph.txt
