INTER-ORGANIZATIONAL NETWORKS RESEARCH ON THE BASIS OF GRAPH THEORY STRUCTURAL PARAMETERS

The concept of design, development and operation of inter-organizational networks is based on the network approach which combines resource, structural, functional, innovative and result-oriented factors, allowing to implement the formation and operation of the network in the logical sequence of stages, minimizing organizational problems and to realize the idea of a strategic network development. The article is devoted to the development of the common approach to the theoretical and methodological networking and to systematize the factors of inter-organizational networks based on the tools of graph theory, which allows linking the concept of graph theory to the structural and local features of networks. In the subsequent studies the author offers the consideration of complex issues: 1) to determine the relations between network development strategy and the form of network structure organization; 2) to describe the methodological principles of management system formation taking into consideration the influence of market environment factors; 3) to define the identifying characteristics of ION in terms of flexible polycentric structure; 4) to submit the differentiation variants of network relations.
