Abstract

In this paper I propose the concept of Orchestrating Smart Business Networks (SBN) as a process of dynamic equilibrium between centripetal and centrifugal forces defining network boundaries and exploring its implications on controlling spheres of action and architectures of participation. I explore this proposition in the implementation of Business Network Operating System (BNOS) in two cases with different results that highlight key variables to explain the balance of the two forces proposed. With this exercise, I propose an alternative meaning for smartness as an embedded capacity in SBN.
