In so doing, it proposes a novel system-framework and establishes a path towards a networks-as-practice view on inter-organizational relationships. The systems-framework builds on three institutionalized business practices: Networks-as-coordinated social systems, Networks-as-knowledge-creating platforms, and Networks-as-value-generating entities. Through these tools, \u003ci\u003eTowards Relational Business Practices\u003c\/i\u003e intends to propose a new managerial praxis and provoke new and improved frameworks and models for network management. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJukka Vesalainen is Professor of Management and Organization at University of Vaasa, Finland, where his current research addresses networking and business relationships.
