Currently, collaborations in production industry experience a failure rate of 50%, if not more. The lack of problem-oriented understanding of the required systems setup and underlying control mechanisms might cause this. Academic research in management science has expanded on models accounting for the individual company as an entity. Complementary approaches to address the characteristics of enterprise-networks are therefore required. The application of principles of complex systems from natural sciences to collaborative enterprise networks as socio-technical systems might yield these complementary approaches. Six themes emerge from this point of view: dynamic description, coordination possibilities, radical/integrative innovation, path dependency, information sharing, modelling & representation. The research will expand the available knowledge on the underlying mechanisms of collaborations by the acquisition of knowledge on complexity science, new perspectives to avoid traditional pitfalls (culture, leadership, trust) by using models from natural sciences.
